Dear Abby,

My girfriend has been dropping hints that she's getting kind of bored with our relationship, not necessarily me, but the fact that we don't go out much anymore and there's not a lot of mystery anymore...what can I do to surprise her?

BORING in Reedsville

Dear Boring,

It is very refreshing to know that there are men are there who want to do special things for their ladies. ;) Alright, some cute surprises you could do for her are cooking her dinner, a bouquet of roses, or cleaning her apartment/house. Obviously, those things are pretty obvious and cliche, but if you really want to blow her away, kick it up a notch. Take her for a carriage ride, take her to a different city or state for a concert by her favorite artist, or maybe even take her to a restaurant that might be a little bit on the expensive side.  She'll appreciate the fact that you're doing something different to spice up the relationship! Good luck buddy!
