My boyfriend and I have been dating for over a year. He is a great boyfriend, and I know that he really loves me and he really cares.

He recently had a birthday, when I was thinking of things to get him I was very short on ideas, this is when I realized he doesn't do anything. Well he watches alot of movies, but he downloads all his movies and music. Basically he goes to school, goes to work, or sits at home either watching movies or doing homework.

We don't live together so we do hang out pretty often too but when we are together we ususally are eating, watching movies in his room, watching tv with his family, having sex, or just chillin on his bed. Don't get me wrong I love being with him and I like it when we just lay on his bed and giggle and flirt but sometimes I want to get out and do new things.

Like earlier I was talking about his birthday.... we woke up fairly earlier, got ready watched a movie and went to breakfast, after breakfast I asked him what he wanted to do, I said the world is our playground and we could do anything, what does he say...... lets just go home.
Mind you we also had the oppertunity to go play paintball that morning with my brothers which I think would have been a very fun new thing to do together however my boyfriend did not want to intrude on my brothers day with his friends which I understand except for the fact that he invited us but whatever.
We ended up sitting at home and watching movies with his family, and hanging out in his room a little while he was looking at cars on the internet, later that night we all went out to dinner: His family, and he and I that is.
When we got home his mom suggested he and I go down to the boardwalk, which I thought would be fun, get out of the house for a little and make some memories. I brought up the idea and he didn't seem to over excited about it then I said or we can sit upstairs and watch tv all night with your family. He never gave me any answer but we did end up going up stairs and you guessed it watching tv.

I don't know why, maybe this is his idea of fun but personally I don't think so. I like to get out and try fun and exciting new things or getting out and doing things with him that I will remember not just sitting at home mindlessly watching tv.

Maybe my boyfriend is just boring.

The other day I told him that there are many new things and places i'd like to see, do and go. He told me to make a list and we will do them. I hope we dooo do them but I know some of the things take planning and he never seems to have the time.

It's like he is always busy, maybe thats why when we hang out he just wants to sit at home because that is his way of relaxing.

But I don't know also I wish he was just more romantic. I love little sweet text messages and crazy random things that show love. But I never get these anymore. When we first started dating and he was trying to win me over you know I would get these all the time. I know his love for me is still as strong he is just getting comfortable in our relationship I guess and he doesn't have to worry about winning me over anymore. But I still want these things, I like it when he shows me he is crazy about me through little cute random guestures and things.

He texts me every morning good morning and every night good night and usually at least once throughout the day asking me what I am doing. This is nice and it shows he is thinking of me which is sweet but it's so routine.

I've thought about asking him not to text me good morning anymore unless he has something to talk about or say, because our texts are usually rather dull hey whats up what u doing oh cool hows class its good on and on boring shit. I mean when thats all we text about during the day I wonder why we even bother texting. Then again I do like talking to him and he likes talking to me which is why we do this.

I love him and I want to be with him, I just want a more exciting relationship, I don't know how to make this possible when he is busy and not a romantic guy. I wished our love inspired him to be romantic. How do I make this happen. How do I get out of this boring rountine?
