Need tips on how to get boyfriend to do more with me?

We've been together over a year now and we honestly never go out and do much. We end up sitting at his house or something which I find quite boring. I ask him if he wants to go shopping with me and he says no unless he needs something like last time we went to get him shoes, I saw that one of my favorite stores was having a sale and asked if we could go in for a minute and he told me I'd have to go alone because he just wanted to leave...even though I already went to 6 different stores with him for his shoes. Not fair in my opinion and even when I took him to my other favorite store that he's never been to that he's been wanting to go to all he said was "cant we just walk around it one time and leave?" Obviously something is wrong here. He's gaining more weight which i want him to lose since all he does is eat junk food all day, just so many things wrong. I love him to death but I love shopping and would like him to come along and love it with me but he's not interested. Please help,Should I just give up?

    Sounds like he's just using you as an errand runner. Dump him.

    Sounds like he is not excited about the relationship anymore. Being with someone who does not seem interested is a terrible feeling. Have you ever just said out loud that you want to do more things, or that you are bored with the relationship?? I have been in this EXACT same position. I was with a guy for 5 years who wouldn't go to parties with me, or to movies, on dates, shopping..etc. What a HUGE downer! Once I got it out in the open that I was not happy staying home every night while the rest of the world had fun, and he didn''t seem to want to change...I dumped his ***! Now I am married to a guy and we do EVERYTHING together!

    Figure out what is important to you and what makes your relationship exciting and fun. Don;t stick around too long if he doesn;t seem to want to change...you will end up being resentful and regretful of the time you wasted. Best of luck to you

    Very few men really like to shop -- it's just not a guy thing. With the weather getting better, why not plan some fun times of hiking, or picnicking, or swimming, or something else? How about going out to dinner and a movie, or a play, or a concert? How about some street fairs? How about some sporting events? What fun things are coming to your town? Get a plan and ask him if you two could do that. If he says no, ask him what he wants to do besides sit on his couch and eat. Tell him you need to get out more. He may just need you to show him how to have more fun. Some people tend to be home bodies and need a prodding to get off the couch, but will have a great time once they get out and do things. If he insists on being this boring, yes, maybe you should give up. But give it a try first, and not with shopping.
