  1. Try to beat your personal record on the number of exercises you can do in a minute. (Remember last time that she complains that you’re fat huh?) Make-up exercises for every item in the room. For example, 10 “toilet paper tosses,” 20 “sink squats,” and 30 “mirror push-ups.”
  2. Guess the weight of random objects — Pick up items around the room and try to guess how much they weigh. The winner is whoever gets the closest without using a scale! (Of course, there’s only ever one winner, and that’s you.)
  3. Play a game of “I Spy” with yourself. Pick an object in the room and try to guess what it is without looking directly at it.
  4. Start a staring contest with a random object in the room. A plant, a picture frame, or even the bathroom sink are all fair game.
  5. Make a funny face for every emotion — Happy, sad, angry, confused, you name it. See how many different expressions you can come up with. When your girlfriend asks you something and you’re not quite sure how to respond, just turn to your trusty arsenal of funny faces! Whether she’s asking for your opinion on her outfit or if you want to grab dinner, you can express your thoughts with just a twist of your lips and a raise of your eyebrows.

So, there you have it, folks! A list of creative and hilarious ways to make the most of your waiting time while your significant other is perfecting their look.

And who knows, maybe you’ll even discover a hidden talent or two along the way.
