Most relationships are very exciting in the beginning but if you have been in your current relationship for awhile already you may have noticed that the initial excitement you experienced is starting to waiver and you and your partner may be settling into a dull routine. As a relationship progresses one or both partners may be guilty of settling into complacency and may not strive to keep the element of excitement in their relationship. The following are a few tips for ensuring that your relationship stays as exciting as it was in the beginning.
Never underestimate the value of spontaneity in a relationship. Too often relationships lose their excitement because the mates fall into a routine that becomes boring as time goes by. Dont be afraid to suggest new activities in your relationship or to try new things on a whim. Being spontaneous doesnt have to involve big decisions it can be as simple as picking up something new at the grocery store and trying a new recipe for dinner. Whatever you do, just let your instincts take over for a minute instead of relying on rationality. Anything you do that is spontaneous may not work out as well as if you had planned out every last detail but just go with the flow and youll find your relationship taking a turn for the better.
Exploring a new location together is another way to bring the excitement back into your relationship. Whether you plan an elaborate trip to an exotic location or just take the bus to a nearby city that you have never visited your adventure together will help spice up your romance. Take your time exploring the new location and enjoy the foods and atmosphere that the new place has to offer. Exploring new cities can help bring the thrill back to your relationship.
Still another way to spice up a waning relationship is to sign up for an instructional class together such as a cooking, dancing or pottery class. Working together to learn a new skill will draw the two of you closer as you strive to accomplish a goal together. A class will enable you and your partner to interact in a new way. This new interaction will help to pull you out of a rut.
Spending a night at a hotel is another way to restore the excitement in your relationship. Intimacy is very important in a relationship and if you and your partner have found that this aspect of your relationship has lost its spice, its time to shake things up a bit. Choose a romantic hotel, preferably one with a cozy restaurant. Begin by having a wonderful candlelight dinner in the restaurant and then proceed to the room that you have reserved. Setting the mood with candles and dim lighting is also suggested. A night in a different location such as a romantic hotel will go a long way towards rekindling your intimate relationship.
Another way to bring the excitement back into your relationship is to set up a date night. While you may see each other daily and even go out to dinner every Friday night, setting up a date night outside of your usual schedule will enhance your relationship. Dont just schedule a night to go out to dinner but treat each of these date nights as if they were first dates. Go all out getting yourself dressed up and take special care in your appearance. Prepare for your date night as if you were really trying to make a good first impression. Going out of your way to have at least one night of fun and romance a week will help add a little zing to your relationship.
Giving your mate gifts for no reason at all is another way to get your relationship back on track. You may have lavished gifts on your partner early in the relationship but as the relationship progressed you may not have done so as frequently. Small, meaningful gifts given just to make your partner happy will let them know that they are still always on your mind just as they were in the beginning of the relationship.
The simple act of holding hands can also add excitement back into a relationship. This intimate gesture conveys a sense of security but it also lets your partner know that you want to be close to them at all times. Many couples hold hands everywhere they go early in a relationship but dont do so later on. Try grabbing your partners hand as you are out running errands together. They will be touched by the sentiment and will be happy to be sharing a sense of closeness with you again.
A kiss is still another way to bring the excitement back into your relationship. You may have gotten into the habit of giving your mate a kiss on the cheek or a quick peck on the lips when you see them after a long day of work. Trying kissing them with passion the next time you see them to catch them by surprise and really let you know not only how much you love them but how attractive you find them as well.
Having a common interest can also promote excitement in a relationship. If there is an activity that you both enjoy doing, make it something that the two of you do together often. For example if you both enjoy hiking make plans to go hiking every Saturday morning and each time you go out make it a little different by exploring a new location or setting new goals for yourselves. This will give the two of you a chance to reconnect while enjoying each others company. Having a ritualistic activity that you and your partner enjoy together creates closeness and intimacy that can help put the excitement back into your relationship.
Offering your partner a massage when they are worn out and tired can also bring the excitement back to your relationship. A massage can be a very sensual and intimate experience. Additionally offering a massage lets your partner know that you can see that they are stressed out and exhausted. They will appreciate your putting them first in the relationship and this will help bring back the excitement in your relationship.
Over time a relationship may lose some of the excitement that it had in the very beginning. While this may be troublesome it is also completely normal and also reversible. Noticing the lack of excitement in your relationship is the first step to restoring that excitement. It may take a little work but with a few simple actions you can be on your way to an exciting relationship.

How can a shy guy like me, make my relationship more exciting, she says I'm boring?
My girlfriend says that I’m boring. I’m really shy and don’t talk a lot. She’s very sweet and I want to do anything to stay with her, even if it involves me talking, I need tips on how to start conversations, if I can get any tips I would greatly appreciate it

my ex-husband was incredibly non-talkative and that drove me nuts. However, try to communicate with her more and do some fun activities together.

start your conversation which is interesting in her side. And when you are dating make a romantic moves. Be sweet to her. In this time it is no longer unusual in a certain relationship.

Be a really good listener. Get to know her really well. Ask her to tell you her fantasies, or watch her to figure out what they might be. Be observant. Then step out of your comfort zone once in a while and do something you think she’ll like and will really surprise you.
When people are shy it’s because they’re focusing on themselves… if you focus on HER, you won’t be as nervous.

I suggest you take her out more often. Find something that she is interested in doing or you are interested in doing. Like a broadway musical show, ice skating, snorkeling, kayaking, etc. Doing lots of activities will get you pump up in talking about what you like about the event or activities you guys just did. Oh….Make sure you ask a lot of question involving her. Like what’s her favorite, things……That will totally start a conversation and it makes a girl feel special that you are interested in her.
GIRLS LOVE SUPRISES!^_^ *wink* *wink*

maybe you wouldnt have to talk that much, bring her to your favorite fun place, show her how to do stuff she doesnt know how to do,EXPLAIN it to her, ask her what she likes, and if it doent work out, than you deserve somone thats not afraid to TRY to bring out your exiting side,
crack open that shell, someone who could help you out, not try and go along with it and and fuss at you about it the whole way………just think about it

Women like men who can step up. If you can’t step up, or step IT up, she’ll eventually leave you. Slip out of your comfort zone a little and try to be a little more of what she wants. Or, find a girl who likes you just as you are.

Do something really fun that you would both enjoy doing that would make you both laugh, like ice skating. Doing fun / silly things naturally stimulates conversation, plus she will see you are not boring. Sometimes you just have to put yourself out of your comfort zone!

Another word for boring is dull and routine. She wants something different….to be suprised. What does she like to do? Ask her to tell you what she would like to do with you. Look in your local paper and go to some festivals. Perfect time of year for that. Drive to your state park, go for a hike, pack a picnic and step out of your comfort zone. Doesn’t have to be a big expensive night. Just fun and different and maybe sneak a little heavy petting to spice it up. Be creative. Put a note in her coat pocket or her car seat and tell her to meet you somewhere and have a date like when you first met.
