Healthy Relationships Support Group
No relationship is perfect. A long-term relationship requires constant effort to understand each other, fix misunderstandings, solve problems and continue to grow as both individuals change and evolve. How we deal with our misunderstandings is the focus of this community. Join us to find support, get advice, and share your experience with your relationship.
This has always been a bit of a problem where I live. It's a college town where one of the top ranked party schools is located and there are bars everywhere. Pretty much any time a new business opens up...it's a bar. Don't get me wrong, I like to go crazy with my friends on occasion but it gets frustrating. I've recently started seeing someone and we've gone to movies and breakfast, but twice we've just ended up drinking because there was nothing else to do. I don't want this to get off on the wrong foot at the risk of it becoming a "get drunk, go home with each other" type of relationship. I really like the guy and am so over that type of situation with guys. What are some simple things that we could do for a date? It sucks that it's winter because it's at least easier to find stuff to do when it's warmer out.
It's not necessarily the experience that's important, and not even the sharing of experience, but the sharing of self with the other. Enjoyment of the company over external experience.
