Ask Greta
Silly Snapshots
Dear Greta ,
I am a 26 year old woman dating a 25 year old guy . I ' m fun-loving and enjoy doing things outside , like walking and riding bikes , but my boyfriend only likes to sit in front of his computer playing games all the time . Every time I ask him if he ' d like to do something , he says no . He says he doesn ' t know how to have fun and enjoy himself , What can I do to get him away from his computer and show him there ' s more to life than just silly games , and get him to do interesting things with me ?

Dear Frustrated :
Some people are actually uncomfortable with the prospect of letting go and having fun . I also think that his idea of fun and your idea of fun are two different things . While you enjoy outdoor activities , he enjoys quiet times at home . Neither of you is right or wrong in this issue . However , I believe if you compromise , you can solve the problem . Set aside a portion of the week for the two of you to do activities you enjoy and the other part to do activities that he enjoys . Get him to teach you some of his computer games so you can play them together . At the same time , involve him in the activities you enjoy . This way , you both win . If he refuses to meet you halfway in this compromise , I suggest you start looking for a new boyfriend , because it ' s just one match that won ' t work , and you ' ll only end up resenting each other and be very unhappy .
