My relationship...

[DarkSolitary]

is boring. Yes, being in a LDR has its times of boringness but like me and my SO NEVER do anything fun that LDR couples can do. I showed him the list on here and suggested a few things but he doesn't seem to want to try Granted I love texting him everyday but that gets really boring really fast. I sent a letter to him, hoping we could do like a letter correspondance thing but he hasnt held up with his end of the deal, we play games on MSN but he almost always lets me win which kills my competitive playfulness and makes it boring, we tried the watching a movie at the same time thing but that ended up not working, I sent him romantic emails but not like hes read any of them (never checks email...), I made a facebook account for him to go on but he never goes on it, on the MMORPG's we like to go on we just sit somewhere and talk. Theres about a billion other things I have tried to do to make things a bit more fun but it just gets thrown back in my face and i'm frankly getting frustrated. The relationship itself is fine but just... boring. >.<

I need help. I tried the list.. i really did but its not successful... so does anyone have suggestions or something? D:

Did you talk to him about this? You could tell him to check his emails more often and you could also try watching a movie again! It might work this time.

I have talk to him about it. He's forgetful. More than likely he forgot that this is bothering me >.<

If he's forgetting, keep reminding him. It's not really nagging if you truly feel like the relationship needs some sort of spice or variety so you don't fall into a rut.

Yeah, keep reminding him. I have a boyfriend like that where I have to keep telling him things over and over before he gets it. But I take it you guys spend a lot of time together? Maybe take a small break to clear your head then try again.

When he does something that you think is awesome, act like it's the best thing in the world. Make it known how much you appreciated it, and then he will likely continue doing it. I have sent my SO many love letters and cards. He hasn't really sent me much, but when he sent me a love letter a few weeks ago, I made a really big deal out of it and acted like it was the best thing ever (it truly was in my mind, so I wasn't faking). Then, he was super happy that I liked it so much and I got another one a few days ago. Showing appreciation for the things they do that make you happy really goes a long way. Gentle reminders work wonders, but nobody wants to be nagged. For instance, saying, "I sent you a nice email, you should check it out when you have time" instead of saying, "Why don't you ever check your email?" I am not saying that's how you act, but I know it's easy to get frustrated when you put forth effort that goes unnoticed. Word choice can make a world of difference. Focus on the positive things he does, not the negative, and it will probably get you further.

As far as suggestions as to what you could do to make things more exciting... have you asked him if there's anything he would like to do to make things more exciting? Have you told him that you want to spice up your relationship a little bit? Sounds like you are doing most of the work, which isn't fun for you. Maybe the things you are choosing are just things he isn't quite into. Maybe if you find something you are both interested in, he will be more on board.
