Members PaulyWally Posted December 4, 2007 Members Share Posted December 4, 2007 My girlfriend and I were chatting the other night, and she asked what I want for my Birthday and for Christmas. I said, "A Nintendo Wii". She didn't say anything... not a sound. She just turned her head away from me with a look like, "That's kind of expensive... but..." I waited a couple seconds and I said, "No... you don't have to get me that." I thought about it later and said, "You were really thinking of buying me one... weren't you?" Affirmatively, she said... "Well... maybe". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ThudMaker Posted December 4, 2007 Moderators Share Posted December 4, 2007 Easy fix to that boo boo. You should just give her an alternative and say, "You know, I really think I'd like a Ric 4003." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members t3ch Posted December 4, 2007 Members Share Posted December 4, 2007 So think of something cheaper, ya jerk Or maybe you can say you want a GC to help purchase a wii? I dunno. /shrug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SteveyDevey Posted December 4, 2007 Members Share Posted December 4, 2007 Yeah, that's no fun. I really hate the idea of telling someone what I'd want as a gift. Generally, if I want something, I'll buy it. If it's too expensive/unnecessary for me to buy it, I'd surely not want someone else spending that much money on me! (Especially since I've never had a sugar-momma) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't justify the price of a Wii for myself... and I don't think I'd even use it that much. Either that, or I would use it TOO much. So I figure I'm better off not having it.

Members PaulyWally Posted December 4, 2007 Author Members Share Posted December 4, 2007 So what are you getting her? I don't know. She won't tell me anything. And she's really difficult to shop for. She doesn't give out any clues... never stops to look at something in a store window... and when I ask, she answers with a question, "What do YOU want?" It's kind of irritating.

For a change, dare to be different... get her a bottle of vintage Champagne (Cliquot, or Kristal, something like that) with the room key to a suite at the Ritz tied around the neck. You'll thank me for this advice later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members citizenralph Posted December 5, 2007 Members Share Posted December 5, 2007 A Nintendo Wii? That's what a 12 year old asks his parents for. And don't ask her what she wants. Just get her something fantastic. Charm her. And not with a video game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mudbass Posted December 5, 2007 Members Share Posted December 5, 2007 My girlfriend and I were chatting the other night, and she asked what I want for my Birthday and for Christmas. I said, "A Nintendo Wii. Man did you blow it. The only correct answer when your woman asks that question is...a romantic dinner, just you and I talking, laughing, enjoying life and each other's company...then a night of hot monkey sex afterward. You and I both know you'd rather have the Wii, but that's a gift you ask your sister for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members basshunter Posted December 5, 2007 Members Share Posted December 5, 2007 SOs should be able to buy presents for each other without needing suggestions, IMNSHO. It isn't hard, you just have to actually listen to each other once in a while, and be a little creative. It doesn't have to be expensive (but can be if you want), it just has to be something that says "I love you so I actually THOUGHT about the gift I'm giving". I've designed jewelry and had it custom made for MrsBH, and I've bought her a new headlamp and some socks. One was rather extravagent, the other simple and utilitarian, but things she wanted and wouldn't normally buy for herself. And she was thrilled in both cases (and all others, but hey, I'm not going to list everything I've ever given her and let youi slackers steal all my good ideas ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassman1956 Posted December 5, 2007 Members Share Posted December 5, 2007 The trick is, no matter what they may tell you, they often have a secret wish list, and this is the one you will be graded against. I was once dating a woman who happened to mention how much she missed some of the projects around her house, and one of the things she missed was this really good saber saw. I forgot this entirely. 11th hour, I'm walking through Sears tool department, they have a ludicrous sale going on for their top model. I picked it up as a lark. I expected she'd get a chuckle out of it. I got my bones jumped! Pure luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
