my bf is a few years younger than me but he is like an uncle who likes to do the same things and eat the same things every time we meet. we attached only 4 months! he is very certain abt this rs and now wants to move in. I am very scared. any advice? I am 34 and he is 29

hmmm have you spoke and communicated with him first your expectations before coming to forum for advice?

More often than not the replies will come in as trolls (just to speak the truth before this post gets flooded)

 

PS: have you been thankful that you have a bf when most of us does not? :)

 Agreed. 

Miscommunication or not communicating at all when a problem arises cause more damage than just 'talking it out' with your partner. I mean, it shouldn't be hard since it is your partner right?

I am engineering trained.

i am exactly the same as your bf.

boring ah :frustrated:

Whats wrong with doing the same thing and eating the same thing every time? How many different things do you want to do together with him? Maybe you should state clearly what same thing he keep doing that bores you. If you want to know both of you are compatible or not might as well let him move in to test out. If not compatible than ask him to move out. Tell him about such decision first.

engineering may be a boring ass job, but its no different from most other jobs. ppl can have lots of other interests besides what they do for their profession. find out what he topic interests him, be it anime, games, tv, music, fashion, current affairs, etc.

Yeah I guess you need to talk to your bf about this. You need to set goals or something so that you can look forward on things. Can confirm engineers are quite boring (I myself an engineer and am boring sometimes) but when we are motivated to do things, we became more focused and inspire to finish it. So I guess you need to communicate more to your bf about this so that at least your r/s wont be stagnant

Perhaps you can share with TS how ur bf handle it since TS is facing the same issue which he considers a problem

i'm an engineer, i visited the same food stall for mixed rice during weekdays for dinner until the seller can recognise me and know what type of gravy i wan without i utter a word..

i also frequent those few retails shop often and also went for the selected shopping mall, the route would be always the same..

altot sometime if really bloody free, i will spent some time to explore a bit other areas..other wise i would normally go for the tried n trusted way..;)

He is probably trying hard to save and people under this category are usually deemed "Boring" because they do not have (nor want to) be seen too spendrift with the unnecessary.  They also tend to wear the same clothing most of the time.  Try having relationship with a minimalist, you will find them "boring'" too.

 

 If there is no chemistry, should  just move on instead of giving him false hope.  Your bf is more suitable for people who live a simple life.

I dont agree that doing same things and eating same food everytime is boring. As long as i enjoy it, its up to the other party/parties to accept it

that is true too e.g. there are some good food that all love to eat it

 

being repetitive and boring is diff from having the love of the same good food and appreciating every bits of it

 

 

while there are certain generalisations about engineers, there r diff type of engrs, eg food engr, System engr

那如果有一天, 你深爱的人背着你偷吃或有了新欢,到时可别cry father cry mother, 因为你那张同样的老脸,他也会看腻玩腻,不是吗?

Don't expect to change him..

 

Yes he may sound boring to you but really, if a man can stick to a routine, you should be thankful.  Not everyone is  as adventurous as you are.  I, for one, would not want to try Bungee Jumping (although I'd done it in my 30s) again but seriously, am I boring?  I will still go for roller-coaster rides instead.

 

So having the same food is boring, huh?  Perhaps he has a budget and he wants to control his expenses.  Next time, you pay for an alternative food type and ask him to join in.  See whether he enjoys tucking in into your food.... by then, you know the real reason behind his boring habits!

OP, I'm like your bf.  When a person who loves routines wants you to be part of his routine, you will be loved forever. 

 

For you to post your question here, I guess you are considering a break up.  If it happens, please have a proper closure, otherwise, it will become his routine to be in search of the real reason.

that means your bf is pretty predictable, which could be a good thing. He is not fickle minded. You can easily guess what he likes and what he usually does, of course there will be lack of varieties and surprises. 

 

What did your bf say about you?

Do not attempt to change a person. Neither attempt to change yourself to suit him.

The 2 key component are: communication and acceptance. These 2 must work, in order for any relationship (be it your family, bf, friends, colleagues etc).

Sounds easy, tough to execute. Don't give up, keep going.

Boring boyfriends are usually the most devoted ones. 

Those guys who give excitement and surprises are usually those who will go around and hunt for “food”

agreed. if he can stick to a boring routine.. he wont be bored of u. therefore he is likely to be more loyal.

老饼话家常:

我们同志圈里的男性友人很多, 但男友嘛, 知己难逢。

我以过来人的身份来提醒你: 抱紧眼前人。。

***

I'm surprised that this beautifully-haunting tune was composed by George Lam.

本應相愛本應相襯 命裡注定同行卻未能

捨不得不愛把不得一世 唯願抱緊眼前人

匆匆一世深深一吻 就此以後無從愛別人

若只得今晚可偷偷走近 誰又理得天鎖禁

 

Repeat**

愛你就算將跌入永遠黑暗 但這一刻抱緊 多麼確實無用再覓尋

浮沉人在世快樂循環又傷心 但願愛得最動人

 

一宵的愛一生的印 儘管最後如同過路人

捨不得不愛巴不得一世 唯願抱緊眼前人 

 

Lam sang this tune at her remembrance concert..

How about u doing the changes each time u guys meet. Suggest new places to eat, new places to hang out or even plan a different route to go hm or jus experiment with anything new together.. Do sumthing silly to together, anything that can gives the relationship more zest. Relationship needs a lot of work deary. And yurs it's only 4mths honeymoon period is the best.. Xoxo

I love this quote. If only people tried this cheat code.

4 months into a relationship & finds it boring... can’t imagine if you have to be with him years down the road. 

 

If 2 people have chemistry, even taking an evening walk without much conversation will be an enjoyable one. 

 

As much as I do not like asking people to break off, as a matter of fact, no point wasting each other’s time

Posted

Please dump him asap. Why are you dating an uncool and nerdy engineer? You deserve someone better.

Posted

I am not an engineer, but i can relate to TS's bf. I dont get bored doing the same thing or eat the same food everyday. People expects me to be adventurous and outgoing because im in the creative line. But actual fact, im just a simple, minimalist, introverted person, who speaks little. And im happy with that :D call me boring...i dont care haha

Exactly ... especially since PAP doesn't want any more local engineers anymore. Look at how the SMRT suffered due to the serious lack of engineers last time. Only now then they hire engineers in truckloads. Please dump him asap. You should go date the SMRT senior executives instead!!

my bf and I also like to order the same things when we go to the same places. We have our usual haunts.

 

Once in a while we will do something new together - explore a new area, travel,  do something different - cycling, picnic, cook for each other, hiking. Doing challenging things together once in a while lets us see each other's imperfections and is great to keep us understanding each other more and growing together.

Have you asked yourself why you're in the relationship? At both your ages, neither has much excuse to be naive about what you want from each other or uncertain about what kind of relationship you both want to be in,  Being honest with yourself about your reasons to be with him is important even before you can formulate any kind of open communication in the first place. 
In my experience, 4 months is still too early to consider anything serious, This includes major changes like moving in together or hastily getting bored of the person.
