atan Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 To all: I just want ideas about a gift to a girl. But the situation's kinda complicated. So please bear with my little story. I have a huge crush with a girl. We dated once; we felt the spark; but we hate to admit the fact that both of us are a world apart. I'm in US, and she's in Australia. I realize that I cannot make her mine at the moment. However, both of us will be back together at the same city in two years. What I can do now is to keep our relationship warm for the next two years so that if she and I are single, I can, hopefully, win her heart. Her birthday is coming soon. I want to surprise her with a gift. I can send her flowers; but I won't be able to deliver it. Please help me with suggestions. Thank you for your help!
jsa100100 Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 how about something from the date? Likes, something to remind her of the date you guys went on. (hopefully its not the movies, but even then you can get her something cute like a popcorn keychain or something haha) It'll bring back good memories for her. A warning though, unless she's expressing a lot of interest in having a relationship with you in the future, don't ruin it by smothering her. I suggest you keep it nice and platonic, don't think about her so much for the next two years, and then see how things go from there. That way both of you will be able to live your lives and when you eventually see each other, things can go naturally from there.
Raderick Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 Teddy bear. Seems cliche, but holy crap does it work!!!!! Go to the Vermont Teddy Bear web site, find someone that closely resembles you, and send it to her.
alyssatranswarrior Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 (edited) A giant dildo. That is unless you want her seeking a man to be in a relationship with while you can't. I'm kidding IDK though about the teddy bear. Some girls REALLY don't like girly cutesy things and for a male to get this would be like on a pansy scale of 8. You really must think she's into that stuff to get her one. Better would be like writing her a letter about your life and (pointing out one thing you liked her being in it for) if she feels like doing the same you can keep the tentative connection going. Like penpals who are long lost lovers. They may even marry or settle but keep this deep connection. Don't do emails its not as meaningful as it's lazy and you email everyone she won't feel its special with trading emails At least make sure there is both if you chose to continue chatting.

Citizen Erased Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 My bf is in the US and I'm in Australia and he had flowers sent to me from a florist here. It was such a surprise. But...he's my boyfriend. It's romantic and wonderful when he does something like that. With you she may be wondering what the heck you're doing...
DustySaltus Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 A plane ticket to the US. Bingo...was his name.
dcdatingdiva Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 Maybe a cute idea would be to send her a picture of the two of you together, so that way whenever she looks at you she'll remember you and the fun times you guys had together G'luck
Stung Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 Please clarify "we dated once." You went on one date, or you dated her for a while, but some time ago? In other words, how well do you know her? Can you give us clues at to what she likes/dislikes, or are we coming up with pure generica? As for the Teddy bear idea...there are some women/girls who do like that ****, obviously enough to fuel an industry. But there are many, many women who would find a Teddy bear gift childish and cliche. Make sure you know which category she falls into.

It's hard to know what to give her without knowing what she's like, presents aren't really one size fits all.
MsSydneyLane Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 A watch-- to remind her of the time when you two will be together.
K'aycie Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 A plane ticket to the US. Hmmm. Aren't tickets from Australia/USA rather pricey? Flowers are a nice gesture. Anything that is reflective of your relationship together is nice too.
VeveCakes Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 What are her interests?? Maybe send her a cd, or tickets to a band she likes? What about DVD from an American show she likes but might not get there?? Something that shows you know HER and are not just being cheesy.
