II am not sure about your living situation (still living at home? have your own apartment?) but here are a few suggestions: invite a couple of friends over for games; Pictionary is one you can play without actually having to buy the game, or Charades. Sometimes "big" people need to be coaxed into playing games, but after it gets going, most are glad they did. If having friends over is out of the question, then you two can play cards or chess or anything competitive, only make sure you have a "winner's box". This can be a simple jar or box that has slips of paper in it with special prizes written on the paper. Ours has personal favorites, such as "back rub" and "make dinner" and "wash the motorcycle" "give me a bath" and so on. Another fun thing is to get all your photos together and assemble albums. Find a boring t-shirt and each of you add your own artwork to it with markers. Buy a couple of cheap framed canvas and each of you paint a picture of the other on it....this is something you can hang up and laugh at for years to come! If it's decent weather, go for walks and bring back "treasures"; feathers, special rocks, leaves, etc. Again, the one with the best treasures wins and gets to pick from the winner's box! Hiking is also lots of fun and is free! Volunteer at a local charity together. Find a project that needs done and do it together. Prepare a meal together, but make it special with candles and soft music and pretend you are meeting for the first time; ask questions of each other "What's your favorite color? Why? Who's your favorite actor/actress?" And so on....even if you think you know the answer, sometimes you will be surprised!
Most importantly, do not do nothing....life is so so so short. There will come a day when you won't be able to do these things. Don't ever let yourself say "I wish I would have....." Try not to spend all of your time with just one person....you become boring, and the relationship stales simply because no one has anything new to talk about. Make sure you are still making time for your friends and take a night out with them (alone) once in a while. Right now your life is measured in years, all too soon in months. Then days, then hours, then minutes. Make every single second of your life count.....There is wonder all around you. Explore. If he is saying he is bored, what is HE doing to make life interesting? Don't accept all the pressure of making a relationship come (or stay) alive. Good luck and find a way to make your days count!

Why don't you go to evening classes and learn English? Then you might be able to write, correctly:
"Does anyone have any ideas what to do on a boring winter's evening?

Loads! We have kids and can not afford to go out all the time - there is stuff you can do if you stay in!!!!
You could cook each other special meals and make an evening of it
Rent a DVD from a shop and watch a movie - not expensive
Play games like scrabble
We sometimes play CSI games together on the computer, it is fun to solve the crimes and we get to chat and interact
Have sex
Invite friends over
Go for walks, it is free!
Read
etc......
And most of all enjoy being together, there is no need to always be doing something. I must say you sound either very young and bored or you are severely lacking in imagination

Play board games, listen to music and have a nice meal together (take turns to cook) Buy a book and learn to give each other nice massages, take up a sport together (squash, badminton) go jogging together, play cards, talk about your life before you met eah other. Talk about your dreams

How about getting a dictionary and learning how to spell boring right? That sounds awesome to me!

I know this sounds boring but play some board games once you start they really can be competitive and fun
