damonca Posted May 27, 2010 Posted May 27, 2010 Im pretty inexperienced at relationships so don't even know if this is appropriate at this point in our relationship. My girlfriend is leaving for the summer months and I am basically wondering if a small, personal (not expensive) gift would be wierd or too clingy to give to her? We have only been seeing each other for about 2.5 months, so its a new relationship but we see each other alot and seem to have gotten pretty close in that amount of time. If this would be an O.K. thing to do, im having a hard time thinking of what to get. The only "personal" thing of mine I could give her that really means alot to me is one of my dog tags, but it being a new relationship and her going out of the country, this might be a little much (especially since dog tags have important/sensitive information!) Any ideas? I really like this girl and its a shame she is going away at this point when I feel like im really just starting to get to know her but I really want to continue the relationship.
Arabella Posted May 27, 2010 Posted May 27, 2010 Yeah, definitely NOT the dogtags. How about an inexpensive piece of jewelry? You could buy her a silver bangle and have it engraved with something meaningful. Something like this perhaps: http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=108825&CategoryID=21782 Just make sure whatever you buy is wide enough to engrave, if you go that route. Arabella
Author damonca Posted May 27, 2010 Author Posted May 27, 2010 Haha, it took me about 30 seconds after I thought of it to realize that sending her off with a dog tag could have major downfalls.
carvidep Posted May 28, 2010 Posted May 28, 2010 She'd probably appreciate having a little something to remind her of you during your time apart. I agree on the jewelry. Here's a quick story to give you another idea. I went to NYC with my guy for a week in our earlier stages of dating. He saw me looking at cheap necklaces in China Town and when I'd chosen one to buy myself he offered to buy it for me. Well, he actually took it from me and paid for it without asking. But it was really sweet and I wore it every day until he bought me a fun ring to replace it (which he bought at the zoo). Now I wear the ring every day and the necklace is on a stuffed animal lol.
