Okay ladies... need some help. Dating a guy and am having him over for dinner tomorrow night. Of course I'm cooking a great dinner, and preparing dessert (the dessert is not me, in case you're wondering). So far, he has come to my house a few times, and we normally watch a movie or something on TV. I'm just curiouse what other types of things you've done in the past when you've had a guy over for dinner (other than sex). We talk a lot and entertain ourselves pretty easy there, but I think it might be fun to do some kind of fun activity... just can't think of anything while being stranded in the house. Any advice appreciated.
Guys... what would you like to do or be asked to do?

A movie after dinner is good, but just the fact that you invited him over and are making dinner for him is great. Not many women do that for their dates.

A board game? Charades? Do you have a DVD quiz game?

First off...what's for dinner!?

There is always a classic board game to dust off and bring out of the closet! Strip Jenga maybe?..oh sorry! you said no se x!

Other than the board games; I would find or DVR a documentary from the History or Discovery channel..They usually lead to good convo.

After a good home cooked meal, I don't mind taking a little stroll around the neighborhood to a local park or something, Especially if it's not mine!

Great suggestions... I do have Jenga... so that might be very interesting to give a try, even if we forgo the "striptease" version :-). I would love to do a stroll after dinner, but being in Seattle, it is too dark and too rainy to do that. For dinner... serving my special Alfredo potatoes and fillet mignon w/ green salad!

The point of it is exactly what you've said... I want to make sure that we're engaging in one another, and not just watching a movie. I don't normally talk during movies, although I'll sneak a good kiss in!!

I spent the weekends of the first month of one relationship helping her decorate the flat she'd just moved into, give a bloke a hammer, a paintbrush and something with a ridiculously powerful motor in it and he's in hog heaven.

If It doesn't work out between you too, Can I come over for dinner next! (have wine will travel)

Make sure to make plenty. I feel anyone who posted in this thread should have first shot at leftovers!

good luck with your dinner night..

I think people worry too much about the activity. If either of yo get bored regardless of what you are doing than perhaps someone needs to rethink things. Perhaps ask him what his favorite board games are though if you are tired of the movie thing. But perhaps go for a walk around your community after dinner? Maybe just sit on the couch enjoying some wine and some good music.

Just sitting on the couch together and maybe talking a bit would be enough for me.

But there are board games that can be played with just two people so that would be good.

All good ideas.
