I just had my daughter 2 months ago and my boyfriend and I have not had too much alone time. I want to do something special for him but I am not sure what to do. I to do a special dinner or something of that nature. So ladies what would you do for your man? Would you take him somewhere and if so where? Would you stay home and cook something and just have a romantic evening?

I think it is awesome that you are planning this for you and your boyfriend. I often times see friends who have children who start to grow apart, as they aren't able to spend time together with out the children. I do have one set of friends who even though the have a ten month old son, have one night a week as a "date night" for the two of them, where her parents take the baby overnight and they can have some special time together. Sometimes they go out to eat and a movie, other times they just plan to spend time visiting friends, and sometimes they just stay home, have a home cooked meal and enjoy eachothers company. And where her parents keep the ababy overnight, it allows them to keep up the intimate part of their relationship with out being intterupted or distracted as well. I am assuming you got childcare for the evening so the two of you can be alone? I don't really have anu specific suggestions for you, it depends on what the two of you have always enjoyed doing together. I am sure there is some activity you enjoy as a couple that you have had to all but give up, as taking your two month old child along would not work. I think i personally would go out and enjoy a movie and a dinner at a nice resturaunt, two things that are hard to do with a small child that would be prone to causing a fuss and disturbing everyone. Good luck, and have fun with whatever you do. One of the keys to a successful relationship is keeping the intimacy alive!

Its been hard with work and all but we have been trying. We will leave her with my mother to watch so we can go out and do something. And I think it is a good idea that they have a one night a week thing going on.

yes, it is really quite beneficial to have alone time in your relationship. sometimes life can get so hectic with work and kids and everyhing else going on that people forget to take time to appreciate their partner. If this time is pre-built into the schedule, it is good for everyone in the long run.
