On the brink of a fun-filled holiday weekend, I asked my boyfriend what he wanted to do when it came to celebrating the 4th of July. Naturally, we agreed on taking part in the fireworks and various festivities; however, when I asked him for his insight on all of the specific details, he drew a blank.
I don't know about you, but I am
always the one who makes the plans, pays attention to detail, and ensures that our night go relatively smoothly. Sure, I'm all about "going with the flow" to have a good time, but it was just last week that I thought to call ahead, only to find out that the restaurant was closed for the night. There are many other instances where we run into problems due to inadequate planning, therefore I make it a neurotic point to keep all of our plans in check.
Come on, I know one of you looks up the movie times and makes the dinner reservations. Is it you or your SO who makes the plans in your relationship?

*sadly points to myself*
If I want my boyfriend to plan something I have to force him to do it.
we both do.
i would love for it to be the both of us
the both of us. we both like doing different things so when i'm in the mood to do something, he'll agree to do it with me, but leave the planning up to me. when he feels like doing something in particular, i do the same and leave the planning up to him unless it was something we both reaallly wanted to do. when you feel like doing something. just do it. i'm sure when he wants to do something- he'll say something as well. screw if he puts any details into the plans. give him a task if you want him to help. if you want to watch a movie.. ask him to check out the times. girls are more picky than guys. girls tend to key in on details more than guys. girls get upset a bit easier than guys. i think that in the end, all that matters to him is that the two of you guys got to spend the day together and that he was able to make you happy by letting you do the things that you wanted to to. if it were up to him, he would've probably wanted to invite all of his guy friends and have beers and eat burgers all day.. you know?
