Museums, Zoo, Walks in the park, beach, Visit opw sites. Go somewhere for a weekend. Plenty to do, you just need to make the effort.

As does she! Strange post OP, maybe head over to Personal Issues first to work out the one-sided relationship issues first.

If the weather is any way decent my favourite places would be...

Botanic Gardens
Iveagh Gardens
Stephens Green
Trip to Bray
Any of the beaches
Cycle around Phoenix park (rent bikes if you don't have some)
(bring a picnic to any of these)

If it's the weekend, then take in some of the great markets around Dublin (indoor and outdoor) like the one at meeting house square, the ferocious mingle marcade etc.

I would say pick up a free copy of 'Totally Dublin' somewhere in town (it's always in the epicurean, the ifi, the lighthouse cinema, etc), that is great for event listings, both regular listings and more one-off type stuff. It comes out every month.

Even just with eating, go somewhere different, try new places, not just empty pockets :P

With nightlife, also try new things, maybe a comedy club, a gig, try new bars and restaurants you haven't been to before, even try a different cinema (I really love the lighthouse, nice cafe, bar, great screens, comfy seats, more grown-up type atmosphere in general, more alternative films).

Your budget does not have to be big, it's just about sharing new experiences.

An example of some things I did last weekend with my bf.....

-Caught some films at the Japanese Film Festival
-Went to Umi Falafel (first time)
-Wandered around Sth William St/Georges St/Drury St area, nice outdoor seating around this area, bit of people watching, bit of browsing around, it's quite a 'pretty' part of the city.
-Had coffee at the top of Stephens Green, sat upstairs by the window and watched the street performance artists below, great craic, love a bit of people watching + you're in from the cold! Great buzz around this area at the weekend with street performance artists, grafton street shoppers, people going into the park, rickshaw drivers etc. Top of Bewleys cafe by the window is another good spot for this. Just hanging out and having fun, enjoying the simple things, doing something rather than nothing.

Pawwed Rig

National Art Gallery, Natural History Museum, Dublin Castle, Viking Splash Tour, Glasnevin Cemetary, Scuba Diving, Rock climbing, Kayaking, hiking, comedy clubs, theatre, mass

Jesus man you are in a capital city. There is plenty to do. What do you enjoy? Work from there.
