silentcharon Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 Hello fellow LS'ers, I hope you all had a very merry christmas! I recently started dating a new man a couple of weeks ago- a week later, he said he got me a gift, he mentioned that he was worried I wouldn't like it. I was NOT expecting a gift from him at all, since we just started dating. I figured I'd probably just get him a card and a bottle of wine, that way we'd enjoy it together. But since he got me a gift, I figured it would be ok for me to get him one as well. My phone broke on me- I was complaining about it to him. "Well... if you want, I can take the present back and take you to the store to get a new one." I was taken back by his offer and declined- as the phone was expensive and I didn't feel comfortable with it, since we JUST started dating. I told him thanks, but no thanks. He told EVERYONE what he got me, and people were telling me how I would LOVE it, blah blah, without even the slightest hint of what it was and it drove me CRAZY. I finally saw him on Saturday- we finally exchanged gifts. I made four pictures of the 2008 Dodge Challenge concept car in different angles in black and white. It was a sweet piece of work, I would have kept it for myself- He loved it! And now..... Guess what he got me? An airbrushing kit by Iwata! As soon as I opened it, I said, "You did not!" and gave him a million of kisses and hugs. He said he would have to take me shopping for a compressor- I either had the choice of picking one out for myself or he would. What an awesome gift, although very extravagant.... WOW! I am really looking forward to tinkering around with the kit. It's funny- the kit alone is worth more than a new cellphone, excluding the compressor. Does this mean he REALLY likes me?? :love::bunny::love: I had an excellent christmas with my family, friends and my new boyfriend. 2007 is nearly upon us- let us all start the new year with a clean slate and move forward! Much love, SC Ps What did you all get for christmas?
Art_Critic Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 Does this mean he REALLY likes me?? It sounds to me that he really got you a gift with some thought put into it and got you something you would really enjoy rather than something quick and easy.. I have always be one that believes cost means nothing and the thought means everything.. But keep in perspective that you have only known him 2 weeks...Gifts are exactly that.. gifts..
Aloros Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 As Art_Critic said, it's the thought that went into it, because for him, that could be a small amount of money. Still, it sounds like there was a lot of thought put into your gift, especially for only a couple of weeks. Yea, I'd say he likes you!

Exactly He was inquiring me about what I liked to do, and I mentioned that I used to borrow my friend's kit to do some airbrushing and that I wouldn't mind getting into it, since I am in the car refinishing business, I thought it would be neat if I could get into detail work. We discussed the subject for a short while, and then it was never brought up again, that's why I had a hard time figuring out what he could have possibly gotten me. I found that it was very thoughtful of him- that he was listening, it's one of the qualities that I find attractive in him so far

Yes, that's why I love it even more, he obviously really thought about it and paid attention to what I was talking about when I was telling him about my hobbies. As a poor college student, it was something I could not afford right now, but it was definitely something I would get for later. What did you get for xmas?
Aloros Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 From my family I got a down feather jacket, new socks, a very funny, very awesome home-made card, and a learning Thai book (going to Thailand in February!). From my boyfriend I got a sake set and matching serving/dipping dishes, lingerie , a long-sleeved Diesel shirt, two expansions to my favorite board game, bath powder and bubble bath, and two gorgeous limited edition art books from Ballistic Publishing - I've been drooling over those for sooo long, just never could condone spending the money on them. It was very nice.
