paris38 Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 As a woman, should I get a cute little card or stuffed animal for the guy? He's not into sweets at all. Or nothing? And since it's so soon not expect anything either?
Star Gazer Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 PARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! What did I tell you, woman? Go back and read your PM's and behave yourself.
Star Gazer Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Lauriebelle, HELP! HELP! There's another one in our midst!!! :lmao: :lmao: Nothing Paris, get him NOTHING. Zero. Zilch. Nada.
Author paris38 Posted February 7, 2007 Author Posted February 7, 2007 I need this because I have been made mistakes in the past early on in the dating stage and don't want to blow this one. It just helps to have it bolted into my head. OK...Nothing...NADA.
Star Gazer Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 He gets a "Happy V-Day" eCard. Nothing more.
Krytellan Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 He gets a "Happy V-Day" eCard. Nothing more. Isn't this a little unfair ladies? Is this simply because it's only been 2 weeks or because the guy deserves nothing... except the honor of honoring the woman? I must know what to make of this.
Author paris38 Posted February 7, 2007 Author Posted February 7, 2007 I'd get him something if it were a longer time but I don't want to scare him off.
miss snoopy Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 At just 2 weeks he's not yet your boyfriend. He's the one who should get you a card/flowers. If he does and you feel like sending him something, send an e-card.
Lauriebell82 Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 hmm u might want to get him a card, thats probably it. i mean is the guy officially ur bf, or are u just sort of dating? well either one, u dont need to spend tons of money on him. he might get u something he, might not. he might be thinking the same thing u are that he doesnt want to scare u off by getting u present after only two weeks.
Star Gazer Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Isn't this a little unfair ladies? Is this simply because it's only been 2 weeks or because the guy deserves nothing... except the honor of honoring the woman? I must know what to make of this. I didn't say he should even get her something...and given how early it is, I don't think she should expect it either.
ash519 Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 You should get him a card...and something small...a cd or something, BUT dont give it to him unless he gives you something first. Keep it tucked in your purse and if hands you something you can reach in and give him your gift. If he doesnt...keep the receipt
Krytellan Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 *is becoming disturbed as he sees deeper into the darkness that is a woman's soul*
Art_Critic Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 You have just started dating this guy.. In a week it will be 2 weeks ? Only a card is all you get him..and some chocolate.... You don't even know each other enough to be giving personal gifts.
oh_what_am_I_doing Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Paris, Are you going out with him on Valentines Day? If he's made plans with you in advance, then I think a card definitely in order, possibly a very small gift too but I wouldn't go the stuffed animal route. Too cliche. I've been dating this guy for a few weeks, and he asked me a few days ago if I'd go out with him on Valentines Day. I too wrestled with the question of should I get him something or not. And then the card thing... geez there's not many cards out there appropriate for people who have just begun dating!! Make sure you dont' get one too mushy or one that says "I love you!" That would probably scare him off more than a little gift. Has he brought you flowers yet? My guy brought me flowers Sunday before our third date, so based upon that I figured he would probably get me something next Wed too. If all signs are pointing to yes that he will get you something, then I say it doesn't hurt to have something little to reciprocate with. I would keep it hidden out of sight though and only bring it up if he gives you something first! Now for a gift idea instead of a stuffed animal.... is there something that the two of you have been discussing, that might be like a little inside joke? My date and I have been talking about "computer voodoo" because our computers keep giving us grief. Then I saw these little voodoo kits at a bookstore and got an idea. I don't know if I'll go that route or not, but at least you kind of get the idea of what I'm talking about. Good luck!!
Author paris38 Posted February 7, 2007 Author Posted February 7, 2007 I have a date with him this Friday but he is 40 years old (I'm 38) and he may be oblivious right now to Valentine's Day. He's really busy owning a business, also. We have no specific plans for the day. That is a cute idea to use humor, something that comes up in your conversations.....our 'theme' that comes up is that he has a black lab, Stella, who of course he loves a lot, especially being a single guy, and often she is in the car when we go on dates! on our first date he made the joke "I hope this doesn't scare you off but she is my 1st girl." luckily I love dogs. i was thinking of getting a squeaky dog bone toy, tying a red ribbon around it, with a card stating "happy Valentine's Day, Stella" Either that or now I'm thinking since he's 40, nothing, and see what he does. He treats me really well so far so I guess if he doesn't do anything for V-Day I can't complain. Thanks for your wonderful insight, all, I knew I could count on you.
oh_what_am_I_doing Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 i was thinking of getting a squeaky dog bone toy, tying a red ribbon around it, with a card stating "happy Valentine's Day, Stella" That sounds like a really cute, playful idea, Paris! And there's still a week, so he may ask you yet! Best of luck!
JA2 Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 I would get him a card. And based on the fact if you have a date for Valentine's Day with him, then I would get a little something, but nothing too crazy, because you've only known him 2 weeks. So maybe a lab mug/key chain or something simple like that. And make sure the card is somewhat simple too. If you don't have a date to celebrate V-day, then I would only get the card, that's all.
Star Gazer Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Is this guy your "backup" guy? Or is this the basketball guy? I can't keep all the guys you're trying to get to fall madly in love with you within 30 days straight.
Author paris38 Posted February 11, 2007 Author Posted February 11, 2007 Wow, I wrote this a few days ago. You really are obsessed with me. The 'backup guy' is over, we talked. But thanks for your concern, your obsession with me is flattering but getting a little creepy. Is this guy your "backup" guy? Or is this the basketball guy?

Author paris38 Posted February 11, 2007 Author Posted February 11, 2007 just kind of amazed myself that you dug up this week old post in order to take a shot at me. You ARE obsessed and if you DIDN'T give a rat's, why did you go to the bother of searching my posts? LOL I'm amazed at your inability to understand my sarcasm. I don't give a rat's a$$.
