reservoirdog1 Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Hey everybody. Here's my situation. Met a girl at a party on V-Day. To say that things have gone very well with us in a very short space of time would be an understatement. No joke, I've spent the last five years looking for a woman with whom I share this level of chemistry -- physical, mental, emotional, everything. We spent pretty much the whole day together on Saturday. I'm very much into her, and she seems to be very much into me. But enough of me sounding like a love- (or lust-) struck teenager. Question: her birthday is this coming weekend. Obviously I want to acknowledge it in some way, but without going over the top -- we'll only have known each other for two weeks by that point. I'm not sure what's appropriate, though of course there aren't any "rules" -- I'm just hoping for suggestions. Best way to acknowledge it, how much of a gift, etc.? Thanks...
Ronni_W Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I can't resist a guy who has strength and courage enough to let me know that he doesn't have ALL the (my!) answers. Why not get her input? "I'm thinking it's too soon to whisk you off to Paris to celebrate your birthday...what do you think might be a bit more appropriate (or, be as much fun)?" Gift after 2 weeks -- tougher. Something that suggests you've been listening (and not just being all love- or lust-struck .) Book by favourite author, DVD of fave movie, CD by fave artist, book on fave subject/hobby. Is she a Star Trek or Dolphins fan? Tickets to the ballet, planetarium? IOU for round of golf in the summer?
2sure Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 This is the one occasion, the right set of circumstances that "saying it with flowers" will be the HUGE. A new relationship, you will show her you are "that" kind of guy, its thoughtful and romantic, and she'll smile & think of you, thinking of her everyday for at least a week. Go to the florsit yourself and pick out beautiful bunch of flowers that are not in season: Like Irisis or Peonies. Do Not Send Them To Her Office - ever.
Trialbyfire Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Take her out for a romantic five star dinner and a moonlight walk! If that's not your thing, make her dinner at home, with candlelight and flowers.
Star Gazer Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Flowers, dinner, and some romance. That's all you need.
Author reservoirdog1 Posted March 1, 2009 Author Posted March 1, 2009 Thanks everybody... mission accomplished. Cooked her dinner at my place (I'm a decent cook), we went out to see some live music, then back to my place for dessert (and "dessert" ). Hidden flowers waiting for her. She had a pretty hard time leaving for work this morning.
Green Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 I've only been dating my gf for a few months and her birthday is also coming up. I realise this is longer then u've know ur girl but I'm thinking that I will take her to a nice dinner and buy her some kind of nice gift probably 30$ tops on the gift. Maybe I'll try to be creative and take her out on a dinner boat or throw her a suprise party.
