Need Ideas

csousa1

BF has had a bad couple of weeks. So have I. We have argued on and off, and I am tired of being worried about what he is going to do to make ME feel better. I have decided to focus on cheering HIM up. I'm starting with today - we are all (roomies included) going out to a movie tonight, but other than that there is no plan. So here are some ideas I came up with as little things to make him smile.

1) Make him a yummy dinner of his choosing.
2) Buy him a fun snack for the movie that they don't sell there.
3) BJ (why mess with a classic?)
4) Really long back/shoulder/arm rub.
5) After the movie, watch a less-than-wholesome movie and re-enact.
6) Buy him whatever alcohol he wants and get drunky-tarded before (and during) the movie since neither of us have to drive.

Any other suggestions? Shoes, I am counting on you for more naughty ones :P

Love!

The line "why mess with a classic?" made me giggle.

Why not combine all of your ideas into one killer night for him?  Just don't drink too much, or your re-enactment may be a little more difficult than planned.

We call #5 'Monkey see, monkey do'.


This monkey doesn't do anal, though.

Yea, that is where this monkey draws the line as well.

Haha, good point. Or I will be sleepy rather than sexy. No bueno.

Obv I don't know if you guys have already done this or not, but sometimes when my H is down, the best thing to do is just let him have a little space and do his own thing for an evening.

You won't always be able to make yourself or each other feel better. Sometimes we all need a little time to ourselves.

I'm not trying to discourage your awesome evening plans! Just offering another idea for how to deal when one or both of you is down.

I think do #6, then #5, which will surely include some #3.

Have fun!

Agree with Desert.  Make sure he doesn't need some "me" time.

Here are some thoughts.  (BTW, I love that I am now apparently the sex guru of NEY.)

1.  Get him two tickets to a sports game for a team he likes.  Tell him to bring a buddy.  Sometimes it's good to have man cave time.
2.  Buy new lingerie.  Really, really slutty lingerie.  Like, borderline crotchless panties and boobie tassels (but not QUITE there yet).
3.  Do the housework without having to be asked.  Iron his clothes for the next week of work (so he won't have to.)
4.  Give him a very enthusiastic BJ (If you need tips on super awesome techniques, taught to me by my gay brother, PM me.)
5.  Massages
6.  Snuggles
7.  Set up a hot shower for you two.  Wash each other.  Hold each other standing up.  And, you know, take it from there.
8.  If he's just down in general, take him to a comedy club.  Nothing makes you forget your worries like a funny comedian.
9.  Leave a love note somewhere he will find it (like in his wallet).
10.  Oh...and when you feel the need to argue with him, put out instead.

desert - Very true! I am certainly trying to give him that if he needs it. Tonight he actually said he wanted to come, and was sad when he thought he wasn't invited (he thought my sister and I were just going together) so I wanted to make him feel included. In general, though, that is excellent advice that I am trying very hard to follow!

Lol Skippy, I love it :P

Yes you are the guru! I am told I am quite talented in the BJ department, but who doesn't want more tips on that!! I was thinking the comedian and game thing, for other nights, and I think I will do that. He needs some man time with his buddies. I wish to death that I could afford to fly him/us down to FL so he could see his BEST friend that never fails to cheer him up. Alas, that will not be feasible. The shower thing I LOVE, but we have a teeny shower (with a slanted ceiling!) that doesn't fit us both very well and he just gets fussy when I suggest that because, as he puts it, it "makes him feel fat". Men and women really are not so different sometimes I think.
