I'm going to visit Matthew in just under a month and I'm a little scared to have a repeat of last time where he spent more time on the computer than with me because he just didn't know what to do. So this time he put in in charge of coming up with things I want to do... I've never beed to Atlanta before and I dont know where there is to do so i just need some general cheap or free things we could do together to get our of his dorm room. If im stuck in there for two weeks watching him play video games im going to shoot someone.  Anyways, Anyone have any clever ideas for cheap/free dates ?  |

Surely he can think of some things in his area to do? Going for a walk, going to see a nice view somewhere, shopping but not actually buying anything, watching a show or movie together, doing something artsy ... those all count as dates and ones that I did when my bf visited. Considering you don't know Atlanta at all he should be able to come up with ideas since he knows the area and what there is.
Let me be honest, if my bf has been on the computer for the majority of his visit I would have considered breaking up but that might be just me. He's there to see you and can play video games in his own time, he should be treasuring what time you finally have together. He had his computer on during the evenings for a bit, yeah, but that was it and he wasn't on it for any longer than 20 minutes at a time before he'd come and play with me or watch a movie.

He not from there either. He's literally moving there right now. That's why he doesn't know what to do either. When i Visited him in his element it was completely different...

Its also not so much im coming up with everything to do. I just need stuff that I'd like to do. I'm not very big into movies and I am in art school so the thought of doing art on my break makes me want to cringe. He's pulling his hair out trying to figure out what I want to do because Im not very ummm, I cant choose things well. So if i have a thought of what to do it'll be different. Thing is i dont know what to do. I'm used to planning stuff in my own element and I keep visiting him in places where neither of us know where we are.

I completely understand about the art school thing. Studying art really makes it less fun, haha (studied art for a number of years). Look up what things are within the area such as romantic spots to go for a walk at sunset. It really depends what you both enjoy doing and you can look up places that relate to that stuff. Do you enjoy reading? What about browsing a number of libraries and book shops together, find the funniest book titles? Simple things like that.

There's so much to do in Atlanta! Granted a lot of it costs money, but it's a big city with some nice areas so you can find things to do. There's a nice outdoor shopping center in Atlanta called Atlantic Station with shops and restaurants that you could spend an afternoon window shopping in. And the park where they held the olympics has free/cheap events sometimes I think. They also have a lot of cheap/free museums.
Personally, while I think planned activities are fun, I think you can have just as much fun just wandering around the mall together or watching TV shows, which is what Jimmy & I do most of the time we're together.
