Love and Dating

off his bum to do things with you, or anyone for that matter? Turn your man from lazy to crazy about hanging out with you in 3 quick steps!

1. Take matters into your own hands. Don't wait for your darling couch potato to make plans. Create a Half and Half evening that consists of something you know he'll love, like paintball or playing Wii and something you would like to do. Get creative with it. Challenge him to game of Wii boxing and tell him that the loser has to take the winner to a restaurant or bar and pay for it. This way you get him off the couch and out having fun with you, while doing great things that you both love. It's a win-win.

2. Institute incentives. You know how you always work a little harder when you know you're being eyed by the boss for a bonus at the end of the year? Try the same concept with your guy. Give him a compelling reason to turn off the TV and get off the couch.

3. Think like a guy. Help your guy weigh his options in an easy way he can understand. Give him a choice of activities that you know he'll think are better than vegging on the couch yet again. -- Tasha Cunningham
