So lately, I've been feeling like my boyfriends golden retreaver. What I mean by that is, he's so occupied with 3 computers and a cell phone, I'm left staring at him like a dog waitng for their master to give them attention. Saddness for me...pressure for him...so not needed. I'm looking for some ideas. I was thinking maybe a healthy cooking class? I have a friend willing to try something with me, but I'm looking for ideas. Help!

Lol that's a good idea! Or you could just talk to your boyfriend and let him know how you're feeling. Either way, you should definitely spend some time without him, because you don't want to devote all your time to your boyfriend!

Oh I tried talking to him, but thats like me telling him hey stop doing the things you want to do and pay attention to me!!! He does do things with me, its not that he ignores me. But because I don't have anything to do, I'm expecting it a bit too much. :)

If you're feeling like a golden retriever, maybe a good game of Frisbee will help. Or you could play Chase the Sock until you have too much slobber on the sock. LOL! Whatever you do, don't say to your boyfriend, "You love your computer more than me." I had a girlfriend say that to me once. I told her, "Well, at least my computer doesn't argue with me." I think it took a few days (I was busy trying to finish an important - to me - game) before I realized she was upset. Bad move. And I was the one who had to apologize. Go figure!

Well I know the main issue here is me needing something to do. It's not him. We both play Warcraft, but when I get bored of it, he's not and still wants to play, which is fair. But I need something to do to occupy my time, and chase the sock isn't an option LOL. I never have said you love your computer more then me, but I did ask him how I'm supposed to compete with two computers, headphones and a cell all the time. He didn't really say anything..so I guess that means I can't :P

Well, if you're in Cincinnati (I lived there for awhile), I'll bet you can get in on a cooking class at Jungle Jim's (I'm assuming it's still there). That would probably be fun. And you wouldn't have to chew on socks! :)

Learning how to cook is a very good idea! Men like to eat, if you can cook then they will love you even more! Sitting there staring at him is not a good idea, because everyone like to have some "space" of our own to do thing we like. Make sure you will show him your cooking skill when you getting good at it, just make sure you don't make him eat charcoal...
