How important is it to give your girlfriend a gift when you first meet them?

 

Is it that important?

 

I know I at least want to buy her something during our time together, but I can't think of what. All I can think of is flowers but that feels like maybe that'd be a little corny.

I don't think it's important, I didn't think of buying anything when I first met my partner, and it never crossed my mind he'd have bought something for me, all we cared about was meeting and hoping we got on well and having a lovely time together. You don't need to give gifts, just treat her well :)

When you're out together and she says something is nice (clothing or jewellery maybe) maybe you could ask if she would like it? As long as you can afford it that is :D If you don't know her well it's hard to buy something you know for sure she'd like beforehand.

My partner often says "I can get it for you if you like" if I say 'that's nice' to something I've seen, so I have to say oh no, I didn't mean I wanted you to buy it :laugh: Although sometimes I let him :o

Very good advice.

I hope you have a lovely time, Ross. :)

I don't think it's important and I wouldn't like to get one cause I don't like to owe anyone :p But the piece of advice from HOH is a good idea, I must say :)

Ross you got a girlfriend?! YEY for Ross!!:D

 

I think that it would be better to just pamper her while you're on your date. A gift sounds a little too formal. Just go all out on your date, take her to an expensive restaurant and don't forget to tell her how beautiful you think she is. Have fun!!

I wouldn't really call it a date, or at least a typical one. I've met a girl online, and we like each other a lot, we're going to be spending a couple of weeks together.

If you really want to get her something, get her some kind of a necklace, so she can wear it when you aren't together and think of you. I have a very pretty Swarovski crystal form my boyfriend and a ring that I wear on a chain every single day and I have been wearing them for the past two years, they are priceless to me ! Good luck

Great news Ross, I really hope it goes well for you.

 

You always strike me as being a really good guy so I've got my fingers crossed for you.

 

As HOH says, don't worry about a gift.

 

If you do want to get her flowers I think that's a lovely gesture. Personally I would find it sweet and not at all corny.

 

Have fun! :)
