Background:
I like this girl a lot, and I've already asked her to prom. I've been hanging out w/ this girl every weekend for a while now. Usually we see each other about 2 times a week out of school, because she comes to my soccer games. We've become pretty much best friends, and soon I will try to take our relationship to the next step.

I guess if there would ever be a good problem, this is it:
When it comes to hanging out, I think going out to movies/malls, late night ice cream runs, watching movies together at home, and other usual activities are lame, boring, and old. Let's rate these ideas a 2/10. I try really hard to think of fun and different things to do, and I've done a pretty job of it to this point. Let's rate my ideas a 9/10.

The problem is I am not sure if I can keep coming up with cool things to do. I am nervous about running out of things to do and becoming boring. I think she has raised her expectations and expects me to be creative. Is this a decent fear, or am I overreacting? Basically, is this going to turn into a problem for me?

and I've been on cb for about two years now, still haven't figured out how to search. I'm sure there are plenty of topics on dating/hanging out ideas, so if anyone can post the links, it'll be much appreciated.

You're overreacting. It's not about what you do, it's about the person you're with. She's not with you because of your creativity, for crying out loud. Instead of trying really hard to find something to occupy yourselves with something to do, occupy yourselves with each other.

Go on a walk; make dinner and talk. Something like that. Watching movies is stupid. All you do is sit there and stare a screen, where's the intimacy in that?

Agreed completely, but if I may add, this is what guys get when they try to bust out of the gates with champagne as opposed to just water. You never ever, EVER, show a girl all the goods up front. If you do that, you get caught in the situation which you are in now. She is expecting you to bring her the top notch things every time, but you are instead running out of ideas. A word of advice young pup, would be to always start off with the small stuff and then work your way in. Try to relax, and remember what got you this girl in the first place. If you try to hard, it will be a turn off, and she will drop you faster than Jenna Jameson drops her panties.

Well, yea, I know that using all tricks in the beginning is never good, I should pace myself.

I planned all these fun nights together, because each week, I had planned to ask her out and told myself I would. My thinking is that great night = better chance of her saying yes. However, I could not muster up enough courage to do it, so a missed several opportunities.

Here's how it went:
After hanging out about 15 nights in about 2 months, I was ready to ask her out. After an amazing night, I got scared about asking, so I told myself to ask her to prom first (she said "she'd love to"). Two weeks later, I was going to ask her out, tripped up on words, and somehow, I ended up asking if I could have the pleasure of dating her (she said "ofcourse, we're pretty much dating now"). So that's where we are now. I've come to the conclusion that she likes me back, and it's up to me to take our relationship to the next step.

Then I realized that I might run into the problem I wrote about originally, but reading the three post above, I think I'm overreacting. I truly believe she likes me for me, so thanks for the responses that helped me see this more clearly=D.
