Making a list of fun stuff to do

LegacyUser

Hey guys, my self and the OH are in college in Dublin, and slightly falling into a routine where stuff we do isnt fun and its boring etc.
Im trying to make a list of fun stuff we can do, even just one thing a week I feel will bring back excitment and spontanuity to the relationship! Its fairly small at the minute, was hoping people could add to it please
Mods if you think this would be better suited to AH maybe, feel totally free to move, I wasnt sure!

Get a train to some random weekend getaway spot in Ireland for a night.
Go swimming off the 40 foot in Dun Laoighre
Visit each others hometowns (we're both from the west)

Randomly steer them towards the Zoo, everyone loves the Zoo!!!
Picnics
Outdoor Sexytime (if you're into that)
Comedy clubs
Camping trips
Paintball

There are literally thousands of things to do in and around dublin. Just use your imagination.

Ah I love this idea, fair play to ya's!!

My bf recently moved away for work so before he left we did loads of fun days out to spend some quality time together.

E.g.
- Glendalough
- The Zoo
- Take a random drive and see where you end up - we ended up in the Powerscourt waterfall !

There's nothing nicer than a day out somewhere then go back to your place cook together, chill, have a few drinks etc. Great because you's will have such a great day you's will be in a great mood all night!

My favourite day with my OH was one Tuesday we went out for breakfast, then drove to Howth and then on the way home went to the cinema, then home for way too much wine and dinner & lots of fun afterwards! - ALL completely unplanned! I thought we'd go for breakie and I'd home after an hour!

Just dont make it too over-planned as you'll feel pressured into making it a "great day" much better to go with the flow!!

Surprise days...
One person organize something from your list and surprise the other.

Magic Hat...
Put them all into a hat and on the morning pick at random

Story time...
Pretend to be someone other than you are. At a family event was being annoyed by a couple pretty much insisting on knowing what I did for a living - hate that - so made up a story about being involved in shady stuff - my OH overheard and waded in backing it all up - funny as hell

Getting Lost...
Take a random drive and take side roads on the spur of the moment - some lovely hidden gems out there.

Follow the trail....
Each weekend leave a note for your partner somewhere else with a hint of where to look next week with say a treat - could be a cinema ticket / concert ticket or an "IOU a foot rub, expires next week" or simply a love note.

Don't overly plan, don't get stuck on times and just have fun.
