I need some advice on what to get a girl...?
Alright, well I have this friend and recently we found out that we like each other. The problem is, she has a BF. She doesn't want to jump right in to a relationship so we are going to see what happens.
But my question is about a gift. Her birthday is coming up pretty soon and I wanted to get her something. I figured flowers would be nice.. and also a card and maybe a game of putt putt or something like that. My problem that I am having though is the boyfriend. If I get her flowers, what if he sees them at her house? I don't want it to cause any trouble. Also, I don't know what her parents would think of it. Her mom I am sure would be perfectly fine with it, but I don't know how her father will react. Should I still get them?
And frankly, I'm not really sure what flowers would be most appropriate. I was told not to do roses. I was also told roses are fine as long as they aren't red. Any suggestions on the kind of flowers that would be nice would be much appreciated.
I need some advice on what to get a girl...?
Don't get her flowers. Flowers are so un-original. The game of miniature golf sounded sweet and romantic. Flowers aren't needed. If you really wanted to warm her heart, get her a piece of jewelry that is her favorite color. Not expensive, just a token of how much you like her and listen to her. Girls love jewelry but they especially like to know that their interests are being recognized and appreciated. OOOO!!! Don't forget the cute wrapping paper/bag and the heartfelt card. The card is really important too.
Reply:The important thing when buying a gift is to take the time to buy something personal that you know the recipient would enjoy. Maybe your paying for an activity for you both to share would also give you the opportunity to spend time getting to know each other better, ten pin bowling always worked for me. Good luck.
Reply:Bluebells!
Reply:I think the best thing is to take her out on a romantic dinner. Just the two of you. There you'll see if truly you two were meant to be.
Good luck.
Reply:something nice and casual, dont make it look like you put much thought into it because of parents and bf thinking sumthing, but get her a card, and flowers would be nice to, remember, they dont have to be huge, just a normal cute size you can give a girl. make it sweet
Reply:get domething modern and architectural, flowers youo've never heard hte names of before, in either all one colour or two that match
Reply:Buying flowers are probably a little bit too romantic when she already has a boyfriend. I think chocolates and perfume. Or you could take her out for dinner somewhere really nnice instead of a prezzie!
Reply:buy something she like....
maybe earring, and see if she wear it...
Reply:i think you should get her a nice box of chocolates and a pair of beutiful violates she would be pleased and there is nothing wrong with giving your friend some flowers

i give my ex's mum gifts for her birthday
hes fine with it
Reply:It's a good idea. You should send her the flowers. If your boyfriend gets upset about, tell him it's also for mother's day.
Reply:I'd send it, but only if he's getting her something too. Otherwise it may seem like you're trying to show him up.
You could also use Mother's Day as an excuse if the birthday thing is too weird.
Good luck.

I love this girl i told her how i felt and asked her out she said she doesnt want a bf right now?
I told her how i feel and she said she doesnt want a bf. So she wants to be friends but she doesnt want to do anything with me. I alwase offer her a ride home from work and it was her birthday on the 29th of march and i offerd to buy her flowers but she said she wouldnt take care of them. But then alot of people bought her flowers and she accepted them.Also she says she loves to talk to me and we talk so much about every thing.I keep telling her how beautiful and smart she is and how nice she is but every time she says awe thats the nicest thing any one has ever said to me. Its also weird because she calls us friends and she does stuff with other guys and not me. This girl is a gade above me but ive known her for like 2 years. I need so much help i dont know what to do. And she asked me who i liked and i said only her and i said i dont want a gf unless its you. So im in a very difficult position some one HELP PLEASE!
I love this girl i told her how i felt and asked her out she said she doesnt want a bf right now?
You're not in a difficult position at all. She's not interested in you. It's that simple. Accept it, get over it, and move on. It's not the end of the world, it only seems that way.
"I have a boyfriend", and "I don't want a boyfriend" are two standard blow off lines women use. Get used to hearing them if you're going to stay in the dating game.
Don't despare, you'll find a girl you like who likes you back, probably when you least expect it.

If you are sending flowers as a token of your friendship with the mother then yes send them. Something small and appropriate. Don't make a big deal about it. Your relationship with his mother is your own and his mother's business, not his.

A question for guys a few days from Valentines day . . . Do you think this is a good idea . . .?
Every year (for the past 22 years) I have taken one of those free calendars that come in the mail (from some insurance agent or the local car dealer) and I go through it and mark the days I want flowers sent to my wife, and I take it to a flower shop and drop it off to them.
For the past three or four years, I have gone to the store and picked out cards for valentines day, birthday and anniversary and attached them inside the calendar on those months.
This way I don't have to remember our anniversary, her birthday or even valentines day. But I always get a phone call from her to thank me for the roses (or baloons on her birthday).
You can also pick days at random throughout the year so she never goes too long without getting a small bouquet of flowers from you for no special reason.
You won't believe how much this will improve your marriage.
After all, a happy wife is a happy life.
