sdcopp 1 Report post Posted October 25, 2006 What kind of budget are you working with here? I personally think flowers are great as a thinking of you thing because they aren't overly expensive but are usually very appreciated. If there's something she really wants to do, like go to a concert, a place to eat, etc., surprise her with it and do it with her. It's amazing how females pick up on genuine thought and care when you do small things, and they're usually pretty good at figuring out when it's insincere too.

Fire0nIce228 1 Report post Posted October 25, 2006 Its all about being real man..Something different for her, is not changing after a few months into the person she didnt "fall" for in the first place..It is about picking up the subtle hints and listening to what she wants to do..A night of things that shes been wanting to do is something great..maybe your like me and you live outside of a city.. instead of eating some old resteraunt in your town,make the drive to the cityand take her somewehre she dont get to go often..it doesnt ahve to be fancy or expensive, hell, we went to the hard rock cafe..i'm just willing to bet you treat her the way girls should be treated, and never deviate from that, that you'll be doing plenty to keep her by your side for a long time..or maybe not. as in my case, lifes not always fair. but im not gonna hijack your thread.

While it does take a little extra effort, it's more than worth it in the long-run. When it comes to stuff like this, it can make your life so much easier. She'll appreciate it, too.The element of surprise works wonders, too. It shows that you really do think about her, and that you do want her to be happy. If your girl is anything like mine, she spends the vast majority of her time trying to figure-out ways to make you happy (while not always incorporating sexual contact...). It's nice to let her know that you occasionally spend your days doing the same. Personally, I have no problem with flowers. I sent her a BUNCH of her favorite flowers while she was at school (we went to different high schools, and now different colleges) for our two-year anniversary, and have gotten into the practice of sending them to her dorm now. She loves it. There have been a few days since school has started that I have surprised her by showing-up at her dorm or outside one of her classes. Last week, when I didn't have class because of the big snow storm in the area, I went over to her dorm in the morning before she woke-up, had her roommate get her keys for me, then took her car to fill the gas tank, then bought her breakfast/coffee and brought it to her while she was still in bed. I always write her notes - some about 2/3 page, others four or five pages. I'll e-mail them to her, or I'll print them out and give them to her when I see her. Sometimes you can cheat and incorporate applicable song lyrics from a favorite band of her's in there, too (luckily, my girl is a Dashboard fan - or at least a fan of their older stuff).Talk about her when you are with your friends - that kind of stuff gets back to her. She'll love it, especially since she probably talks about you all the time (I know Emily's friends have told me that they are getting sick of hearing about me all the time). I realize that this sounds pretty lame, but my girlfriend and I are (still) obsessed with each other, so...well, I'm not ashamed. Be random. One night, just show-up at her house with a couple movies (that she has said she wants to see - I don't care how bad they are, those are ALWAYS the ones you go with) and some food. Another night, surprise her and take her out to eat. Or get tickets and take her to a game (hockey or otherwise). If you golf, take her to the driving range (she most likely wants to have some involvement with your other interests) and try to remain patient when she starts joking around - and she will. Go shopping with her - and don't get pissed when she spends an an hour and a half in one store. Tell her that she's beautiful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EBondo 233 Report post Posted October 26, 2006 Well. Don't really listen to me on this one unless you wanna go broke. I bought my best friend, and my first love (I've had feelings for her for 3 years) a Tiffany's bracelet for her 16th birthday. But, to make a long story short, she made me send it back. She said it was "too much." I was happy hahahaha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tokes 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2006 My GF's folks were gone all of last week so on Thursdays when I get out of school an hour earlier than here I caught the early bus to her place, grabbed their spare keys they hide in the garage, and went to town! Layed down a trail of rose petals from the door all the way into their bathroom with a jacuzzi in it, had some champagne on ice, candles, and strawberrys + chocolate waiting.

It also gets the "easy kill" point reduction. It would have been a lot more effective if it had any credibility behind it as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
