Last week I asked the boyfriend to take me on a date sometime soon. I know, you're wondering, "Why do you have to ask for a date?" Well, seeing as how he and I have been together for 2.75 years, we've gotten into a routine as all couples tend to do, and we don't really do things like that very much. We seem to always find time to go to Wing Night with all of our friends and we used to go to $7 Pitchers of Beer Night over the summer. Somehow, though, time with each other, where we aren't sitting in front of the tv or sitting in separate rooms, is nill. It's sad when spending time together turns into not.
I know there are other activities that we can do that don't cost money and we do those things! We go hiking and camping every now and then, we walk the dogs together a lot, we make meals together, watch movies, etc. However, sometimes it is really nice to go out to dinner and enjoy time that way. A lack of money probably has something to do with the frequency of activities like this, so that's why when we actually do have "Date Nights" it makes it extra special! Ohhh life as a 22 year old.
So tonight, the boyfriend got his shift picked up, and we are going on a date! Dinner at a good local Ribs place and then afterwards a piano concert on campus (which is technically an assignment for a class, but one can always use a little bit of Culture). :)
