Sometimes, we don’t quite understand what it means to a man to be bored. As women, we are naturally equipped with that diffuse awareness that keeps us going, and keeps our minds occupied.  Men tend to commit themselves to a single thing, with focus, and if they don’t find something worthy of thinking about or doing, they’ll focus quite literally on nothing. They’re quite a bit more picky about what they’ll choose to pay attention to. When a man says that he is bored, he is telling you that he hasn’t found anything worth paying attention to. Since he’s only going to focus on one thing, he wants to make sure that what he chooses is worthy of his life, and that it is important to him.
If you can, find something for him to do, something worthy of his attention.  Do not to think about things for him to do or think about what would benefit you, but rather try to help him find something that is worthy of him. He is someone important in your life, and your spending time with him means you admire and care for him. Help him to find something that you know is worthy of him. Give him an opportunity to be your hero and be proud of himself, too.
