Can you help me spice it up…?
My boyfriend and i have been going out for almost 16months now (1 yr and 4 months) and we hit this point in our relationship where we’re kinda boring eachother…
we’ve considered breaking up, but realized that we just love/care for each other too much to do that and we’re willing to work through this.
i see him every weekend…. (friday afternooon to sunday mid afternoon)
we talk on the phone every night for at least a couple minutes (depending how tired one of us is)
his family isn’t doing to well financially plus he doesn’t have a job (NO he’s not a deadbeat, he actually IS looking for a job! before you judge) so when i come over i’m usually the one putting in the money for us to do something. (as an attempt to have more fun with each other) i only have about 40-50 dollars(when i DON’T take the metro [train] to get to his house [10 bucks] ) and it usually goes away pretty quickly.
is there anything we can do that is cheap/ free and out of the ordinary?
in our attempts so far we’ve gone:
hookah bar (not very awesome)
movies (blah)
citywalk (alright… but kinda far)
ice skating (a blast)
(in OUR opinions)
i live in Lancaster CA and he lives in Valencia CA
i ALWAYS go to his place because i can stay at his place (he can’t stay at mine), i have transportation (more or less), and Valencia has more things to do than Lancaster.
Please help. Thanks in advance:)
btw we’re both 18.
lol, no threesome. especially with my sister.
and no i don’t emasculate him…
we’ve talked about that 
go on a walk.
beach.
watch movies at home.
just talk.

The problem is not that you are boring to each other but that you emasculate him. Every time you pay for something he feels less of a man, meaning he will be reserved going "crazy" on you. Do something that he can feel responsible for, something "free" perhaps? You’ll probably have more luck enticing him.

Have a threesome that involves your sister. Then you’ll never have to put forth any more effort for the rest of your long and happy relationship. Thumbs down? Fine. That’s the last time I try and help you.

Me and my boyfriend like to go to other cities together. We live in AZ and sometimes we’ll take an hour or so drive in any direction and just take in the sites or so to some ordinary tourist trap we’ve never been too. It’s kind of fun. Once we stumbled upon a "ghost town" and watched a "gun fight" show. Once we went driving and didn’t find anything fun so we just pulled off to the side of the road and went for a little walk finding interesting things like cool colored rocks and once even found a skeleton of a dog or coyote. Plus pulling off the side of the road for a quickie is pretty awesome too! ;P
We’ve been to Tucson, flaggstaff, Sedona, Alpine, Jerome. And if you stay the night in the car all of it is for free! Site seeing is the cheapest way to have fun for us. Plus we really just enjoy each others company, which helps a lot.

Hey why not work out together? Find a gym and use up the first month free promotion, or you guys can learn how to play an instrument together. Is there a marina around?…Rent some paddle boats and go out on the water. Is there anywhere to camp? I’m running out of ideas, check out the library for more ideas.

Spicing it up for fifty bucks is hard. There comes a time in every relationship where you hit the wall and wonder what you can do to keep it fresh and new, and at 18 you will hit that wall several times before it’s over. Yo could do new movie snack night with friends in an attempt to spread the cost out. Everybody chips in for a good movie and some snacks. It’s a great way to net work and meet new people. rent a horrible movie and point out the useless bitches. Theres one in every B rated horror film. You’re in Cali, not sure how close to the beach but go clam digging if you like seafood. Not sure how to do that but it sounds fun. Grab some friends go to the beach with tents and have a bon fire. Hotdogs and marshmellows are cheap and a good ocean sunset rocks every time. So just dig deep there’s all sorts of things to do. Good luck

If you want something a little different, here’s a few ideas:
rock climbing
disc golfing (frisbee golf)
tandem cycling to some place where you can grab a snack and chill
star gazing (like, with a telescope, if you know someone who has one)
cooking (find something you’ve never made before, but looks good, and make it!)
make a floor plan of your dream house together
get out your old photo albums and make a "story" with both of your photos by either photoshopping them or just cutting them out and writing a story based on the pictures you make (funnest to do when you use pictures from before you two met)
make a music video by taking videos of yourselves and putting them together with your favorite songs and post them on youtube.
go cliff jumping
make candy cards for each other using the name of the candy as the words for the card (obviously the card will be pretty large, so you’ll have to get a couple pieces of construction paper, but all-in-all it’s not that expensive)
do a service project together
make cookies together for friends/family and deliver them (make sure you save some for yourselves!)
christmas caroling (’tis the season!)
ice blocking
make gingerbread houses
