spookie Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 my exclusive nonbf invited me to his little brother's birthday dinner this weekend. he invited me twice, once sober, once drunk, but has been asking me if i am "sure" want to come, ever since. as i have said "yes" each time he's asked, id feel bad backing out now, but my questions are: should i have said no? does he really want me there? what should i bring? the kid is turning 12 or 13. and a question for the girls: what should i wear?
xpaperxcutx Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 Lol Spookie, it's a little kid's bday party. I would just dress casual. As for him inviting you, I think you should take it as it is, him being friendly.
LucreziaBorgia Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 Depends on the kid. Mine is 13 and she is all about gift cards and picking her own stuff out. Its a strange age, because to us they still seem like kids but if you get them toys or something, they are embarrassed. I'd ask what kind of store the kid likes and get him a gift card. What to wear? Dress comfortably and avoid revealing or sexy stuff. Kids that age are horribly aware of what others might think of them and a lot of that is based on the people around them and either how much they embarrass them or how 'cool' they think they are. Kids that age do not think that older people who dress 'too young' or 'too sexy' are cool. That tends to embarrass that age group. I'd go with comfy/casual.
Author spookie Posted March 27, 2010 Author Posted March 27, 2010 do i have to get him something? i am running late and still dont really have any ideas. if i get a gift card what amoiunt shjould it be for??
Art_Critic Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 $20.00-$25.00 Spookie... Target or any place that carry's video games...
marsle85 Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 Your gift reflects you. Don't get him a giftcard, that shows little thought. Buy him a few books that fit his age group and attach the gift receipt. (Incase he's already read them/wants to pick something else.) Giving a book will show you're intelligent yourself and you took time to pick something out for him. I'd spend $20 max though... he's only 13 and you're not his girlfriend yet. As for clothes: go classy. Nice pair of light jeans, heels and a sweater/blouse. Limit your jewelry to one item. Makeup should be natural. Don't carry a huge purse, either.
Author spookie Posted March 27, 2010 Author Posted March 27, 2010 ugh. as it happens, i have three brand-new books i could give that would fit his age range, that id gotten for my own little brother (the giver, mrs frisby and the rats of nimh, redwall) but not all kids like to read... i think im gonna go with a 20 target gift card. im kinda regretting agreeing to go to this shindig. my feelings for this guy have flip flopped as often as john kerry, plus im hungover and still look like the walk of shame at 1 pm in the afternoon, and families make me nervous. his sister will be there. i have never done well with sisters, and this one is pregnant.
