Sitting in a basement every time you are with your girlfriend is not always a good time. Men, you need to step up your game. Girls do not like to just be sitting around with you all the time. They like to go out and do things. While this may be a surprising fact for some, there is help.

Now ladies you can also take a your man places too. The times of a guy taking you out and paying for everything are over. It may be a nice gesture for the guy to pay every time, but we are in high school and they are not made out of money. Offering to pay sometimes could mean going out much more.

When two people start dating it seems like they can talk to each other for hours and never get tired of one-another, but date for four to five months and even the cutest of couples will probably run out of things to say. To keep this from happening, most couples do this thing called going on dates. Understanding most people do not have loads of money, you, the date maker, must get creative to impress your date. For this usually the simple things work best.

If you are sitting here thinking of ideas and coming up with nothing here may be some ideas to make your relationship make it.

• Watch a romantic movie, even if this may be torture for the guys.
• Classics dates are always a good start. Taking them to a movie or on a picnic is sweet and relatively cheep.
• Flowers are always a good idea for girls and, for a guy, give him candy. It might sound dumb to give a guy candy but hey, who doesn’t like candy. A little gift with a date will have them remember the date long after it is over. That means they are thinking about you and not somebody else.

If those things don’t work, try bringing your date to your house, especially if you cant drive. You’ll get to avoid the inevitable awkwardness of parents and their questions. Make a big dinner with him or her. If you mess it up, then there will always be something to joke about and remember.

Ultimately, it is about what you do with them, not how it turned out. Spending the time to take them places or do things for them shows you care and will hopefully make them stick around longer. Or they will start looking for somebody better if you do not measure up.
