Keep things alive?

    Alright lads,

    Just looking for a bit of advice here, I've been seeing a girl for about the last 6 weeks (we're both 20btw) and am totally mad about her, probly too mad about her for the amount of time we've known eachother but thats another thread!!
    The thing is we are both still living at home as she only works part-time at weekends and I'm doing a training course so havn't much money and anything I do make pays my car tax and insurance. We havn't met eachothers parents yet as she still feels its a bit early so the problem I'm having is how do we spend time with eachother without things going stale! We have already been to the cinema, bolwing, to the beach, to a rugby match, out on nights out etc we've pretty much done all the "date" type stuff! its around the time in the relationship I'd like us to be having nights in watching DVD's on the couch and stuff, just spending time together but we can't. I'm worried she will get bored soon, we can only do the date type stuff for so long.
    I think if I could convince her to come meet my parents then they would have no problem her spending time in our house, staying over etc but she doesn't feel shes ready yet.

    Anyone got any ideas how I can keep things alive?

    Do your parents go out much at all? Maybe suggest the situation to your parents (depending how well you get on) and just explain you'd like the tv room for a few hours to yourself one evening. My current boyfriend wanted to cook me dinner/watch dvds early in our relationship, and it was only later I found out that this is what he did to get the house to himself :o I laugh about it with his parents now-it made them start dating again :p.

    Other than that do you have any mates with their own place? My friend uses my place as a date night gaf with her boyfriend when Im away-I give her the keys as we have a spare room and she still lives at home.

    You've only been seeing eachother 6 weeks-I really wouldnt be concerned with things going stale quite yet-if you/her are already bored with the date stuff then Id be a bit worried :P That said, nothing quite like a chilled night in so just buy your parents theatre tickets or something and get them out of the gaf for a night!

    like the last poster said, do you have any frinds with their own place?

    I used to have my own flat (back at home now cos of the times we're in) but i had a friend who had just started dating a new girl and i used to give him my keys when i was going out so he could chill out with his girlfriend, as they both lived at home. they're now married and still say that one of the main reasons that it worked out for them was that they had somewhere to go at the beginning.
