7 Cool Hobbies to Try with Your Boyfriend ...

Have you ever noticed that some couples seem to have such a great time doing things together? It’s likely because they’re not always doing an activity or pursuing a hobby the girl wants to do — they’re probably doing things they both want to do! If you want to try a hobby your boyfriend might like, I can help! Here’s a list to give you some ideas… 7 cool hobbies to try with the man in your life!

Home-brewing Beer

If you like cooking or baking, then you may want to try home-brewing your own beer! What man wouldn’t fall, or stay, head over heels in love with a girl that can make a mean IPA or stout? It takes a little time and patience, but it’s fun, and so rewarding to drink a beer you’ve made yourself… with a little help from your sweetie!

2

Target Shooting

My boyfriend has a collection of handguns and he loves to shoot them at the range. I went with him once, on a whim, and now I’m hooked! It’s a little expensive, and very, very loud, but this is one hobby your boyfriend and you will both love — and you even get to compete with him!

3

Rock Climbing

Rock climbing is a very manly pastime, and is fantastic exercise, especially for your upper body… so why not give it a try? It’s a great idea to try an indoor wall first, to get some practice in, but if you climb all winter, you’ll be ready to try the real thing by summer!

4

Flag Football

In my little suburb of Detroit, there are a number of flag football leagues, co-ed, and it’s so much fun to play! Without the worry of being tackled and injured, we girls actually have some advantages — we’re pretty light on our feet, and so fast! Wouldn’t it be fun to play on a flag football team with your boyfriend?

5

Golf

Ah, golf. It’s a men’s and a women’s sport, so you may already play. If you don’t though, know this — it involves a lot of walking, which means a lot of time together. It’s also a lot of fun, if you can ever develop your swing (I’m still working on mine)…

Famous Quotes

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

Bruce Lee

Rock Band

It’s just a simple fact — boys love video games, and they love playing (or pretending to play) rock music. Playing Rock Band is a big improvement over playing air guitar and air drums, or singing into your hairbrush… and with so many great songs to choose from, why not try it? Your boyfriend will appreciate a bass player or lead singer, and you’ll have a chance to impress him by hitting those high notes.

7

Fishing

Perhaps a little more relaxed than the other things on this list, but fishing can be a great hobby to try with your man. It’s calm, quiet, and can even lead to a fab home-cooked fish dinner. So you can impress him with your fish-catching skills and your cooking skills!

Would these hobbies be so much fun to try with your boyfriend? I know I love target shooting and playing Rock Band with mine, and I can’t wait to try golf… I’m not positive about fishing yet, but we’ll see! Which of these do you and your boyfriend do together? Or is there something you do with him that’s not on this list? Please let me know!

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

We did rock climbing, I took my then girlfriend, now wife, to Brimham Rocks in West Yorkshire with her kids. One of them managed to climb up and get stuck, she became all tearful and scared, so I went into Superman mode! I quickly and skilfully climbed up the rocks, managed to calm the small child, and help her to clamber down to the waiting arms of her anxious mum and sister. At this point I remembered I am terrified of climbing, scared, not so much of heights but edges and falling, and was then paralysed with fear clinging to the rocks for life, eyes closed, waiting for the rock to erode so I could get down. Thankfully, my girlfriend climbed up to rescue me! I'd have rather stayed at home with her in the pink bunny suit personally speaking, although I was, still am, her hero for rescuing the little one.

I thought this was going to be about SEX!

How bout some sex stuff, this list is targeted towards the girls only, you should put some cool sex things that they can try for us

Sorry, I don't see me and my boyfriend doing these things, so they're no help to me... I've tried to play tennis with my boyfriend, but i sucked big time. I've tried to play call of duty with/against him, but i even sucked more with that than with tennis. I've also tried to play biljart, but i kept staring at my boyfriend most of the time cause i thought he was so sexy playing it. Playing cards and Tekken (you know, that fighting game on the xbox) was kinda OK, but we both thought that was boring after 5 minutes... I think the problem is that he's too good in playing things and that i'm not that of a gaming-person. The only thing that's a success, is partying together and going out to dinner. But i'd like to do more than that! So does annnnybody have annnny better suggestions than the things mentioned in the 7-things-to-do-list???

Intruelove, you're a dork. I have a feeling your boyfriend is some fat tool who needs to grow up, and you're a co-dependent moron. Men and women are different, and just because you are in love, or in a relationship, does not mean that you necessarily need to be absolutely together all the time, and have no separate interests outside each other. That's actually a formula for a BAD relationship. However, I do agree with the poster that it can be really improving and beneficial to your relationship if each partner makes an effort towards things their partner is interested in, but doing something that you both really enjoy is where the real bonding occurs. (Which I think was the intention of this list) I'd love to go to the shooting range with my boy! But he's a city boy, and I don't know if he'd be into it. Making my own beer is also something that I would not have thought of, but sounds fun! Something I would have loved to see on this list is laser tag!! or even paintball! Both my guy and girlfriends love it, and it's a great activity to do with other couples as well.
