Dear Lauren,

I am having trouble getting my boyfriend to go anywhere. We hang out, but is usually at school or in one of our rooms. How do I get him to actually go out somewhere with me?

Sincerely,
Stay-at-home Girlfriend

Dear Stay-at-home,
I can understand how that is frustrating for you. Sitting at home day in and day out can be very boring after awhile.
I assume you have already tried getting him out of the house, but have you REALLY tried? Most people will just nag their significant other and say, “Let’s do something”, but then they never offer up something to do.
If you are the type of person that has done this, then maybe you should actually come up with ideas of things to do. Google can be your best friend when it comes to finding fun date ideas.
If you come up with a fun and interesting idea, your significant other cannot possibly deny you. Or you could always just make irreversible plans so he feels obligated to go with you.
OR you could just drag him out of the house. Being forcible is the best way to get what you want in any relationship and it is really a foolproof plan.
Good luck and remember to Listen to Lauren (sometimes).
