Need Man Advice....men pls chime in.

It's always the thought that counts.

and thoughts don't cost $$$.........

and thoughts don't cost $$$.........

...mo' betta, if one wants to drop a very little or a very lot of coin for a gift, use it to buy "experiences" and not "things"...a picnic or a weekend retreat; a sailboat ride or a Caribbean cruise; a home-cooked meal or cooking lessons in New York City. Select the type of experience based on what you can easily afford at the moment--one should not go into months (or years!) of debt buying a gift (or experience) for a boy/girlfriend...that's the epitome of stupidity!

He is spoiling me, but I don't want to keep up with the Jones's if you know what I mean. I have told him his gifts are not necessary, but they keep coming. I am not used to that, but I like it!!! He said his job is to spoil me. Do I give back accordingly, or keep doing what I am doing?

So, this is not the "I got stood up" guy?

No, this is the great guy she found after the disasters w/ the standupper and Chum or whatever his name was.

I vote you let him spoil you a little ............... but still protest and spoil him just a little too. ;-)

give him a nice photo album with a starter picture inside...men are visual

Professional Massage

Or... unprofessional Either way

If he's got lots of disposable income to burn, there's no harm in allowing him to shower you with gifts...if he's running up debt on his credit cards to "spoil" you, that's just plain lunacy on his part. You are under no obligation to "give back accordingly."

This guy is not qualified to be in the "Been Stood Up' thread....so far, so good. Poor guy is clueless about that. I don't ask about his income, however he has volunteered info and I know what he does for a living, so he is not running up credit cards to spoil me.

Today when he came over he handed me a small gift wrapped box. Just something to show how special I am. Let me tell you how special I am...LOL, I am such a brat!! I received the most beautiful fresh water pearl necklace I have ever seen. White, yellow, pink and grey/blue pearls on a super long strand that can be doubled up or left long. I am still speechless. I have never been given such an extravagant gift by a man in my life!!

Now, if I could just feel like I deserve it, life would be good. I am not used to this.

Quit beating yourself up. And, sb44, thanks for the info. Don't look back, just today and then tomorrow. You'll be fine. Glad it isn't "chum", for your sake.

OMG. KEEP HIM.

I do have to tell you the story of the long silver necklace I bought. Hint: have you actually doubled up your pearls yet? Does your necklace have a clasp?

Tell him I said good job!

Uh oh, did you strangle yourself...LOL This one has a clasp.

lol...I would have, had I managed to get it on. Looked so easy on TV on a headless mannequin... :roll:

How sweet! I want to see a picture of this necklace!

I wore it today, I'll get a pic tomorrow and post it. He asked me if I was wearing it today and was so happy that I was. He had to stop by and see.

SGG's boyfriend gave her a pearl necklace. :funn:
