Relationships are meant to be cherished and enjoyed. To strengthen the bond you have with your boyfriend, you need to create beautiful memories together. Make an effort to add fun and excitement to the time you spend together.
Bonding time with your boyfriend doesn't mean taking money out of your pocket all the time. You can still have a good time even if you're short on cash. Below are some suggestions of activities you can do with your boyfriend.
Have a picnic
No need to visit the supermarket before you go on a picnic! Instead, rummage through your fridge for leftovers. Bring them in the park and eat your delicious leftovers while enjoying the view. If you don't want to go too far away from your house, you can lay out a blanket on your lawn, or even inside the house, and have your picnic right there.
Explore the great outdoors
(Most of) the beautiful outdoors requires no admission fee. Take advantage of the free things that mother nature can offer you. Go on a hike and take pictures. Spend a quiet day by the lake. Watch the sunset or wait for the sunrise. Go fishing, swimming, camping, and stargazing. There are a lot of things you can do outdoors that don't require any money.
Have a home workout session together
If you can't afford a gym membership, you can always work out at home. Just browse the internet for workout videos, especially couple workout videos, that you and your boyfriend can use as a guide. You'll have fun and help each other become healthier.
Walk your dog
Walk your dog together with your boyfriend. Not only does your dog get to walk around and socialize, you and your boyfriend also get a good exercise. You can also take your dog to the park, let him run around off-leash, and play fetch.
Try DIY art projects
This activity will bring out the artistic side in both of you. Browse the internet for easy DIY art projects that you can work on with your boyfriend. Rummage through your supplies and find materials that you can use. You'll be surprised by how much stuff you thought were useless can actually be converted to create something entirely new, different, and useful.
Play video games
Most guys love video games, and if your boyfriend is one of them, he will really appreciate it if you join him in doing something that he enjoys. You don't have to be a hard-core gamer to be able to play video games. You can ask him to teach you. The great thing about playing video games together is that it allows you to have a fun and healthy competition.
Have a movie marathon
Rummage through your DVD collection and pick movies that you'll watch for an entire day. Don't just pick your favorites. Let him help you decide too. You can decide on a similar theme or watch completely different genres in one day.
Volunteer
Make volunteering a part of your bonding time. Together, you can make the world a better and happier place. Sign up for volunteer work during your free time. Help out at a soup kitchen, offer your assistance to a local shelter, or participate in a clean-up event in your community.
It's great to have individual achievements, but accomplishing tasks together makes it even better. You'll be helping each other grow into better persons.
Play in the snow snow
If it's winter and you don't have much to do, why not take advantage of the most abundant resource you have: snow! Build a snowman and make it as big and as unique as possible. If all else fails, have a snowball fight and let your inner kids run wild and free.
Although these activities require almost no expense, these won't discount the fun that you're going to have with your boyfriend. So, before you plan for the next fancy date, consider these options first!
