Like I said - take a lead. Suggest a fun activity. Nothing wrong with that.
Sit and talk beats being in a movie or in a noisy bar, if you really want to learn to know each other. Except you want to have sex, NOW, and he is not interested in that - yet.

If you are bored with going out to dinner, then make a suggestion for the next date.

Why? Where is this written?

Yes, you're too picky -- or at least, unreasonable. You want to do something other than what he suggests, but you won't suggest anything yourself because of some stupid unwritten "rule" you have in your head. See how much dating success you have with this outlook.

Simply ask him if he'd like to go on an activity date like biking, hiking, a drive in the country, a football game, whatever.

Just say, "hop in the car, let's go."

He's probably as inexperienced at dating as you are.

He's not a freaking mind-reader. Voice your opinions if you want something else. I don't know why people make dating harder than it already/really is.

It sounds like he's not the guy for you. If the things he talks about aren't interesting to you, and there's no chemistry after 3 or 4 dates, why keep dating him? You don't have to say "yes" when he invites you on a date.

Maybe you are boring on the dates so he doesn't think he can bare with your lack of enthusiasm if he tries to do something exciting.

^This. Good advice. So much pressure on a man to plan things when he doesn't know what the woman likes. If you really liked him, you'd be happy just being around him no matter what you do.

The two of you could sit down together and come up with ideas regarding date activities.
