How do I get my boyfriend to go shopping with me? He hardly ever goes with me.

Ok so I know this may not seem like a big deal/problem, but I love to shop and it sucks that he doesn't ever want to go with me. I always see girls with their bf's at the mall and they both look so happy to be there together and I don't get why my boyfriend hates it sooo much..

We have been together for 4 1/2 years and this has not really gotten better over time. When I do get him to go with me, after 20 minutes he gets very fussy and starts bitching saying he can't take it anymore and either runs to the nearest radio shack in the mall or goes and waits for me in the car, or worse, wants to know when I'll be done so he can go home and pick me up later. This is pathetic on his part.

I endure his motorcycle and DJ gigs and stuff so the least he can do is hit the mall with me every once in a while right? I love my boyfriend and he's a great guy, but it's lame how he hates the mall so much that he usually makes me buy his clothes and shoes for him. He gives me money so its not like I'm totally getting screwed, but still :// He says the "happy" guys who like shopping with their gf's are just whipped or metro and he's neither..Any advice? It's not like I make him hold my purse or anything..I just don't see how something so fun for me is torture for him. Thanks.

Sorry sweetie ..Have to agree with your man , he doesn't like shopping ..so what ? ..You can't like everything about him . This is part of his make up that you love, Its really not a big deal . I'm older than you guys , but even at the same age I hated going shopping with women and still do , you tend to fiddle and fart around , looking at things you don't want ..Hmmmm , arrgghh ..Does my arse look big in this ..etc etc ...Real Men , hate this!

Id celebrate ..Its a small issue , he's being honest . Really if this is your biggest problem , you have donewell .

Men only like to go to stores with items they like. And even then it's usually with a purpose. It's our nature as hunters. You don't have to do everything together. Only the activities you mutually enjoy.
