GAMES!
It finally dawned on BF that I don't think sitting in front of the TV counts as quality time so he suggested a game night once a week.
We were pretty pumped about the idea until it dawned on us that the only games were have in the house are monopoly and a deck of cards.
So I'm looking for suggestions.

Hmm... scrabble, clue
Oooh ooh.. Settlers of Catan (although this is MORE fun with 3-4 ppl than just 2)
Sorry I'm not much of a help, I don't play many games.
Seriously though, There are so many card games you could play like Rummy. I'm not very useful in the board game department considering the few I play include Mall Madness and Pretty Pretty Princess (BF's little sis, lol) This is a bit expensive compared to a board game but do you guys have a Wii? That is so much fun and you get a work out from it. BF's parents have one and we all sit on the couch together playing/making fun of each other.
So....CRIBBAGE! I love cribbage, unabashedly. It's fun and addictive.
It's been a tough day at work so my brain is absolute mush.
We do have a wii which we love to use but I did want to switch it up a bit.
I would also suggest any version of trivial pursuit, Boggle, and another altime favorite - the original game of Life!
i have a closet full of games!
if there are certain things you guys like... i own Friends trivia game, Sceneit, Twilight board game, Orangopoly (Monoploy for Syracuse Orange bball)....
and we love puzzles!
i would go to a salvation army or something and grab a few. or garage sales. i always buy mine at garage sales (if they have all the pieces) for about 50 cents each.

So, he bought RuneBound (I think), we have yet to play it. But he won't listen to me when I say I want SCRABBLE.
It's like, he likes the idea of playing games together in theory, but only wants to play HIS kind of game, not something we can both enjoy.
Of course I spoiled him with all my Lineage2/Guild Wars/ World of Warcraft playing back in the day, now he can't comprehend me doing anything else. I AM A VERSATILE PERSON OK!
Since BF and I have a weekly card game at the house when ever I ask if he wants to play a game his response is "hold 'em or stud?"
Dude, there is more to life than poker! lol
Get the dirty minds board game! hehe too much fun!

Also... have you ever played Cornhole? It's kind of like horseshoes, except you use bean bags & wooden platforms.

Now we just need to find some more couples to play with so we can play apples to apples! Definitely not fun with 2 people...
Or have a few adult beverages and play Jenga. Love that game. Somehow I like it more after a few drinks, but it's fun sober too. Maybe. Not sure I've ever played it that way. But I guess it could be.

BF and I just had this same discussion last week. Only problem now is that his schedule changed so we're pretty much only going to see eachother on the weekends now.
Oh and PS Noelle, I LOVE bananagrams!

Other than the ones already mentioned (and there are some AWESOME ones mentioned), I would say:
Nightmare - my most favorite board game EVER. It's a video boardgame from the 80s, but you can still find in on Ebay, and it's incredible. They have a DVD version called Atmosfear that I really want to get now that our VHS player has died.
Arkham Horror - a tabletop RPG with a board and cards. Our games usually last anywhere from 3-8 hours, depending on how good our rolls are. I've never played with just two people though, so I'm not sure how well it'll work.
I'm pretty sure we're getting Arkham Horror and/or Settlers of Catan as wedding gifts from one of our gaming friends because every time he visits I bug him to bring them, and I couldn't be more excited about it. :-)

How to Play Scattegories, the Drinking Game for Bad Influences and Dirty Minds:
Standard Rules - one point for one word, 2s and 3s for doubles or triples (River Road, very vigorous violinists, etc.), no points for duplicates
New Rules
- If you can turn your answer into a reference to alcohol or sex, you get double points.
- If you have a duplicate, all those that answered the same do a shot/take a drink.
- If you answer and someone calls bullshite, the group takes a vote on your answer (same as original game). If your answer gets voted down, you do a shot/take a drink. If your answer gets voted in, whoever called bullshite does a shot/takes a drink.
- Whomever has the lowest score at the end of each card/round does a shot/drink (optional rule...depends on how messed up you really want to get).
We played this way at a friend's beach house a few months ago. rickylee was schnaukered on Jello shots by the 8th list.
