SpanksTheMonkey Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Hey guys well I was wondering something my new partner has commented a few times now that I need a nice piece of jewelry. I myself don't wear any usually I guess its cause I don't have anything in pectular I really like to wear at the moment. Hes asked what I like and so on its sweet Ive actually found a pendent I really want on line its not expensive at all like 30 bucks I'm a cheep date I guess lol.. But what I was wondering was it its appropriate to say hey I found something I like if you would like to get it for me? I just don't know how that would seam. I know its nice to let them pick it out themselves but well to be honest Ive gotten some "Ahem" interesting gifts this way from bfs of the past lol I know they meant well and I appreciated the thought but it will have a nice comfy home in Mr jewelry box for the rest of its life if you know what I mean. So yea whats your thoughts would that be ok or tacky? if not its no biggie I'll just buy it for myself any one have any stories about well meant gifts received from partners while were at it?
Author SpanksTheMonkey Posted August 30, 2009 Author Posted August 30, 2009 I have to reply just so this isn't one of the dreaded 0 threads lol.. 16 views no replies its a record for me! No opinions on gifts in relationships guys whats appropriate whats not and so on?
Lish Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Well, I think when a partner expects gifts regularly, it's a problem... they obviously need material things to keep them happy rather than being happy in their relationship. It is very sweet and thoughtful if a guy goes out of his way and does it because he WANTS to, and not because he feels obliged to. I'd rather a £9.99 pair of earrings that a guy WANTED to give me, rather than a £1000 pair of earrings because he felt he had to. I guess I'd rather have sentimental value over price. I'm a hopeless romantic though and tis quite amusing to see how many guys assume that gifts equate to romance

But hes brought it up a few times since then and I happened to be browsing on line the one night and saw something that caut my eye. So was wondering if its ok to share that with him if he wanted to get me it thats all id be happy if he didn't no biggie just wondering what other thought as well thanks for the reply
