My gf and I have been together about 2 months now. I have no clue what to get her. A book, some lingerie, dinner, goto a live theatre. She's been hinting that she wants something memorable. I can understand since she's moving away in about 2 months. She's mentioned she wanted to go shopping at Victoria's Secret. But that's about 5 hour drive away ONE WAY. Should I make a wish come true?
OR
Do you all have some better suggestions?
Can't you order her something from Victoria Secret online or somethin???
Anyways - I have a TON of great birthday/anniversary/somethin special ideas I have a log of, but I'M SORRY I can't share them. If I share them and the more people who do them, the less special/unique they will be when I use them.
I know that by saying this it makes me a dick, but TOUGH
yeah try and buy it online, or if you cant then think outside of the box!
make it pesonal, not the typical.
One thing to remember.. the most important thing is to not just rush things and put a lot of thought into whatever you do. If you do this, it shows.
Example. This is so embarrassing - but I'll tell it anyways. I procrastinated a Valentines Day a few years ago... and prioritized EVERYTHING else BUT my girlfriend this day. So I ran out late... as I was suppose to go pick her up I ran to a flower shop on the way... looked around hastily (as I was late) and found this big boquet of roses for $30. I was like "Cool this looks good" bought it quick and ran out the shop.. as I'm goin back to my car I realize I just bought some FAKE ****ING FLOWERS... FAKE!!!
I was so pissed (at myself) but already late and thought I could make this work somehow.. WOW my g/f was UPSET.. she was hurt and pissed off that I just didn't take time and just rushed this. Dinner was horrible.. we just fought the whole time.. and to top it off I saw one of my ex-girlfriends, who was also eating at the same restaurant as us.. and that certainly didn't help. (She thought I still had feelings for her from the start)
So fast forward two months later and her birthday comes up. After the V-Day fallout she probably wasn't expecting much. So I went out and bought a bunch of balloons, got this picnic set, and some candles. Put them in the trunk.
Went and picked her up (DAMN I can still picture the skirt she was wearin and how good she looked this day..) I pick her up, give her a rose and tell her I'm taking her out to eat. She gets in the car. And I say "Oh yeah forgot one thing... you have to wear this." And I pull out a blindfold. So I blindfold her and take her to her favorite place (Red Lobster) - I make her wait in the car and I get the food to go (I know what she likes). So I get the food and drive her out (still blindfolded) to our favorite park. Find a nice little spot and setup the balloons, blanket, candles, and everythin. Unblindfold her and WOW she was so suprised and she just loved it...
Let me tell you... we stayed in the park til after dark, and it was definately a good night - one we both won't forget, and even today we sometimes mention that birthday. :)
Moral of the story - take the time to think things out.
Tone - Just woah!!! I need a boyfriend like this!
Anyway I don't care about reciveing presents on my b'day from a b/f I just wanna get laid! BIRTHDAY SEX over a pressi any day!
To give you fake roses on V-Day?Quote:

At least you made the effort!
I laughed really really really hard when I read this. That must have been shit, meeting your ex there, hahahaha.Quote:

[EDIT] My girlfriend got me a carnation on V-Day. I was like "wow, who died?"
Tone, I'm really glad you made up for it. If it were me, you'd be dead after that Valentine's Day. ;)
funkybuddha, you could definately order something online. Or maybe you can find lingerie from another shop that looks just as good.
You and me both!Quote:

I don't understand this, if I was Tones girl in that situation I would have laughed it off and would have been grateful that he went to so much effort, some people are so un-grateful. No offence Pears.Quote:

It's hard to be grateful if you're waiting for your loved one to show up and he's late (-1), then you would like him to do something extra to make up for being late, but he gets you fake flowers (-2). Then you wait for at least a nice dinner, since everything else went wrong, but the dinner sucked (-3) and the guy's ex is there (-4). If it was only one or two things, then maybe you brush it off and say "mistakes happen." However, when more and more unpleasant things happen in a row, it is hard to feel great on any day, but especially Valentine's Day, when you see all the couples together and having a great time. You'd feel like you'd want to have a great time too.Quote:

True! I'm so dumb it's un-beliveable lol! I guess all the little things made it worse, I bet he did redeem himself in other area's though. ;)Quote:

Like anytime I wouldn't do somethin it'd be "Well you did <this> for Amanda...", "You use to sneak into Amanda's window...", etc.
Yeah true I could have shown up empty handed, but she knew me. She knows I like to do special things for my girl... it was bad enough the whole thing came up prior to us goin to dinner about how I would do it for my ex... but then when we SAW her there it only brought it BACK up... yeah not a good night.
But yeah, I made sure nothing like this happens again.
Oh God, I used to say that to my ex, no wonder I got dumped haha! But yeah I wont be saying that stuff again.Quote:

I also realize how goofy the window thing sounds... LoL - it's because we got in an argument because she wanted me to sneak over to her house at night to have sex in her bedroom. I was NOT cool with this cause her father is VERY intimidating and I did NOT want to get caught by him... but she knew I use to sneak over to my ex g/f house ALL the time.. well - she lived with her MOM and YOUNGER brother.. no one to lynch me if we get caught! Huge difference!
Anyways...
The window thing sounded cute apart from the father being scurry!! Yeah sorry about talking about your history lol.Quote:

Even though we are semi-on-topic.
Poor Pears LoL.. my ex's current S/O is psycho like that. :)
Haha yeah sorry! I hijack too much. :/
