Ok so it's our 5th year together and I need some help

Hey Guys

 

Today I've been with my girlfriend 5 years now, and to be honest I don't know what to do for her! If anyone has a cool different twist to just going for a meal and a drink I'd be most appreciative

 

Cheers

Alex

How about an extreme sport type of thing (fast cars/ bungee jumping/zorbing/ speedboat ride) depending what takes your fancy.

I have been with my mrs for 8 years now, depending on the weather, why not go for a hike. It is different, just the 2 of you, nice scenery, and depending on where you go, could have a picnic as well. My mrs and myself do something different every year.

Recreate your first date??

[abillybob]

Haha cheers @jamesreedersmith I'd of never thought of that but she's a bit of a picky one, especially in this weather I don't think she likes being out when it's cold!

[abillybob]

Good idea though when I met her I was 14, our first date was going to the local spar picking up loads of fizzy drinks and chocolate and watched Saw 3! Don't say I don't know how to woo a girl :|

Doesn't sound that bad. My first was food at the crown in bridgnorth followed by the cinema

congrats, it's 5 years together for me and my better half in March, im struggling for ideas too!

 

Saw 3; good choice, girl gets scared, clings onto you for dear life, well played

Throw in a bit of xbox and that's my ideal date.

[abillybob]

@Tesla, I think I was more scared then she was! @bondbill2k2 I really dislike the bridgnorth cinema it dosen't even have cup holders! AHHH

[bondbill2k2]

Bag of chips from hightown then go sit by the river if the benches arn't under water yet, sorted. Can of superbrew can always lighten the mood.

[abillybob]

Guys come on there must be some women on here that know how they like a date, better than all you lot saying watch Saw 3 again but chuck in an xbox HAHA! I just don't want to do the same old but at the same time she wouldn't go outside so the hiking and stuff is a good idea but won't work on her! Anything else??

[featured_spectre]

in that case, a red letter day event. She can pick up to a certain value

[bladedanny]

It wasn't a special occasion but one of the best things I've done with the Mrs was an overnight stay in London and went to see Shrek. We both really enjoyed it.

[abillybob]

Good idea I'm going to have a look online now see what I can find!

[bondbill2k2]

We tend to go away for the weekend and choose somewhere different we haven't' been each year, little look on trip adviser for locations on hotels,nearby activities and restaurants. Booking it last minutes out of the blue makes it more interesting for both of you. Generally tend to book it within a couple of hours drive and go the Friday night

How about this

Must be a lucky day, it's my 15th anniversary today

We could turn this around and ask, since you have been together 5 years what is she doing for you to celebrate?

[abillybob]

@Vasriel, I don't have a clue normally not a lot. She's at college and only works part time, that and her insurance costing her £300 a month for the year she dosen't have really any money she works hard though, I wouldn't want her struggling I'd rather her save up as we are going to Villamoura this year which will cost in excess of around £800!

Are you crazy?

[Vasriel]

Are you crazy?

 

lol not normally but my 1 year old daughter hasn't been sleeping well this week. Think I may have had in total 15 hours of sleep since sunday

[nyiss]

Best surprise a guy did for me was a scavenger hunt, he left little notes with memories or special dates on and had me go to each one and so on an so forth. It was a nice reminder of all the little things we had done together over the years...turns out he was a complete (unpleasant word) but I can't knock his effort!

I knew there had to be a reason!!

Birds birthday is in March.

I've booked us a introductionary lesson to Skiiing at the XScape in Castleford 90 minutes for £29.99 each! (both never done it!) - which is a bit different!

The second day I've got us a hotel in York which is a really nice place with lots of day activities to do! Minister, Chocolate museum, The Shambles, Ghost walks, decent pubs, nice resturants etc!
