For a friend. I hope this helps.
Is your relationship getting...predictable?
Predictable?! Gasp! Not that! That word could very well start you down the road of panic. But take a breath, predictable isn't always a bad thing, and it's easily resolved.
So, why isn't it a bad thing? Provided you're "predictable" when it comes to pros, like always keeping in contact, setting up dates, and the way you act being polite and sweet, etc. then it is A-Okay. But, that doesn't mean you should always be predictable. No one wants a relationship that can't keep them guessing. If it hits a slow stage, then shake it up.
How Do I Do It?
Simple enough, do something that they don't expect. As always, spontaneity is imperative. Think of something you haven't done before or in a long while.
Easy Peasy:
A few simple examples? If you're one for texting and don't see them in the morning, send a good morning text. Make it cute or sweet.
If you know she likes the outdoors, take her out for a romantic walk. Maybe go outside of the city park- find a nearby state park or head off the beaten path.
Indoors gal? Curl up with a movie and popcorn at home. Surprise her with the invitation to come over!
If your go to is a movie-dinner deal, try something like skating, a picnic, maybe even a trip out of town.
Know they're busy at work? Randomly bring in flowers, surprise them at work with chocolates and a visit for lunch.
Long Story Short...
Basically...You know them, you know what they like, so work with it. Just make it a surprise, and make it a little different than the usual. But don't get too unpredictable. Knowing what to expect at least sometimes gives a relationship some solid ground. It's just important you remember to change the pace on occasion.
