My boyfriend and I have been dating for a few months and fell into a bit of a slump. All we do is watch movies at his place or at a theater. We both are Gemini's and need some change and creativity, the problem is I am not creative at all. Neither of us have very much money and we live in a very small town. Does anybody have any ideas to make our lives a little less boring? Thanks for any help you can give.

There are tons of things you can do for cheap, or for free. You could go hiking together, take a walk through the city, see a minor league baseball game - sometimes cheaper than going to a movie!

I'm sure you are creative - just look at your screen name, hehe.

You can take up a sport as a common hobby. I don't know where you live, but you can trying snow skiing, ice skating, water skiing, boating, fishing, golf or tennis. If you are not inclined to take up a sport you can try camping.

Other ideas are: picnics, day trips, museums or art galleries (if you are cultural), concerts, see live music in a local bar, see professional sporting events. Some people like antiquing, amusement parks, bed and breakfast getaways, wine tasting tours.

I've been there. Although, both of us do enjoy cuddling up on the couch to watch a movie, but it can get quite boring after awhile. Things we have done is go bowling, rollerskating, hiking, hang out with friends and family, swimming, fishing, walk around the mall, go for a drive, it's county fair time, and we went to a local dirt track and watched some races. Do you have a local drive-in theater? I'm from a small town too, and the local newspaper is a great source for festivals and other happenings in the area.

Gemini is all about communication too...so find a topic, or read a book to each other and discuss it, etc.

Oh, by the way, there is always sex to keep the two of you busy. Usually during the first few months of a relationship the couple is usually nowhere to be seen except in bed. ;-)

Thank you all so much for your help. I'm going to ask him if he wants to take some dance classes at our community college since we both really want to learn. Also, because it IS summer and all, we're going to start running together and go camping. Thanks again Ladies!

Take a class together, go dancing, bowling even, do some kind of project together - take a drive , the trick is to do something that engages both of you and keeps you connected
