For some reason, we feel like it's imposing to ask for stuff. Also, if we say "get me this particular thing" and you do it, that's OK, but we could have gone to the store and done that much ourselves. I guess we want y'all to come up with some sweet, creative, and thoughtful idea that is all your own. (probably unfair and way too much to ask) Some women seem to measure it in terms of the financial worth of the present. I don't get that either, but I hesitate to give advice describing what "all women want", since I'm probably not that close to the average female prototype...
You said it Isabel, I usually just give her the credit card to get whatever she wants. I can try and be creative this year and not shed a tear when I hand her the card.
Don't buy jewelry. Nothing says "commitment" like jewelry. She might not want commitment and it might scare her away. If you like her than take her to a nice place for dinner and give her something cute, like a stuff animal. Nothing fancy. If she doesn't appreciate it and wanted expensive jewelry then you might not want her after all. My son bought his girl everything under the son and she just walked all over him. Thank goodness he finally wised up. Good luck
You know what's really irritating? When some girls get all kind of nice gifts from guys and don't appreciate it and/or just demand more. Then some of us work really hard being nice and sweet and supportive to guys and hardly get anything. (In other words, they ask what we want... if we don't mention something specific, they just don't do anything.) It's not the material stuff that counts - really. It's feeling that we're considered worthy of your time, attention, and effort. Lesson learned. Ladies, don't be nice to your men. They will walk all over you. Be spoiled, selfish, demanding, superficial, and immature. They will go crazy and fall all over themselves trying to make you happy.
And watch your @$$ get dumped! It goes both ways the whole nice guys finish last thing sound familiar? There are nice guys who go waaaay out of their way to do the sweet thoughtful thing only to get cheated on. Ultimately all you can do is be yourself and not try reverse psychology to get your significant other to conform to your idea of a relationship.
Oh it's been a while, but I can't wait anymore: Whoa cowboy! No young Mexican girls over there. Y'all knew this would happen at least once.
Oh no. now you've done it... I guess you didn't know what you were getting into since you joined Oct 2003, you missed the summer of YoYao. Anyways, from the picture it looks like she could use a necklace. If you don't give her one, Karl Malone will. (Notice how I refrained from the always tacky, but always welcome, pearl necklace joke. I think I deserve a pat on the back for that one... Argh, its hard to resist! I think I should press submit before I change my mind.) But in all seriousness, I'm no queer eye viewer, but I think she coulda used a necklace in that picture.
