Please don't interfere and cause trouble. It can cause your daughter to distance herself from you. If she's happy with the way things are, then leave it be. If she complains to you about this, then try to convince her to talk to her boyfriend about this. But absolutely DO NOT lecture her boyfriend yourself. My dad did that with my boyfriend years ago and the two of them went a whole year without talking. Going out to places all the time, doesn't make a relationship good. Spending time together and enjoying each other's company does make a good relationship. Plus going out to eat all the time will make you gain weight :P

Don't interfere as your daughter will resent you for it. Just keep in contact with her, as when she does get sick of it, she will thank you for being there for her.
Otherwise, organise a nice BBQ or lunch at your place, invite some other (good quality) single guys around her age - that you know through your other friends/family friends etc. She might not be interested, but if she talks to other people, she might realise that there are better people out there.
This is providing the guy she is with is lazy and cheap. If he is, she will get sick of him eventually. I would suggest that you remind her not to have any kids with him. no kids equals clean breakup.

Well if your daugher is under 18 then you can just forbid her from seeing him (thought if TV is any indicator this may do more harm than good.) If she's over 18 then sadly it's time to let her go and make her own mistakes just be clear to her that you disaprove.

There's nothing you can do. If she's happy with him and you keep harping on it she's just going to get mad. Maybe they have a reason they don't go out. Maybe they don't like crowds, maybe they want to be alone, maybe they're tired from working or studying, maybe they can't afford it...
But, if your daughter wants to go out & he's not taking her out eventually she'll get tired of it.

I'd mind my own business. If she has her own place she's obviously old enough to make her own decisions.
If you try and tell her what to do she'll just rebel or get mad at you for butting in
Don't give advice unless its asked for.

Simple, butt out and mind your own business. Yeah she is your daughter but its her life, lend advice but you need to cut the cord!
