I'd vote for the locket and drawing -- nude it hit just right. You might not be together forever but you might, either way she can always have the locket and treasure it. I know I would put more value on that. Dinner sounds wonderful, too. Day spa might be a nice treat for Christmas? I know that's when I treat myself -- because by then it's cold, days are shorter ...so on. Just a nice treat.

Hope you both have a nice time no matter what you come up with. It's nice to think ahead and make it special. Best of luck!:smile:

I see no point in getting a pedicure during the winter. I want to be able to wear sandals and show my little pampered and painted tootsies off. As it stands we're just coming out of winter and it's a perfect time to get you feet done for the spring weather.

I like getting a pedicure in the winter. For myself. I don't need to show them off, but I really like the feel of fresh and clean toes and my shop does an amazing calf and foot massage, too. I get one often. In the summer, yeah, I show the toes off! I like it, myself, all year. I think my last bf liked it too....sexy toes.... :biggrin1:

Three choices I've struck GOLD with my last coupla GF's;
1)A favorite book she's been wanting forever.
2) A home cooked candlelight dinner
3)Or, maybe tickets to a good show someplace(Comedy, musical, concert work good!

Its all irrelevant now, birthday has been and gone, and only a couple of nights later she decided to strike up an argument after i questioned her about looking over at this guy all the time whilst in the pub with her and her mum.. and it was her mum who was pointing him out for her!!? >.< How fucking disrespectful! She did like her presents tho, i bought her dinner, got her a cake, a nice silver heart necklace and perfume which she liked and has used b4 in the shop..on the night of the argument tho she did want to throw the necklace back at me but i said she could keep it. Not long after i was walking through the door and leaving her to have her space.. so much for making an effort and caring to get treated like that!

As long as it is a gift from the heart, you can not miss

This is true and just because you give a nice gift to someone you care about, does not mean you get a free ticket to 'no arguments ever for the rest of our lives' kinda thing! lol. Although, wow, that sounds sickening....I'd have left, too.:rolleyes: People can be so hurtful/disrespectful. And yeah, ditto on mom....what's her story?

Sounds like for whatever reason, Mommy Dearest did not approve of you. Which, whatever. However, I can't think of a more sickening way to express your disapproval.

Well shyguy. I'am sorry that all that went to waste. I know your a great guy. You seem to really love her from the way you spoke of her and was trying to do a good gift.
Aninnymouse I had a friend when she got married her mother in law wore black to the wedding. IE reason I was losing my son and not gaining nothing in the marriage.

Shyguy just move on. She doesn't know what she missing out on.

So she's made a career of being supported by men. Run Shy, run fast and far, the nut doesn't fall far from the tree. Good luck. :wink:

No. You assume she's made a career of being supported by men. Maybe she has, maybe she hasn't but that isn't really the point. Their behaviour, as described by Shyguy, did little to recommend them already so the general slur is more of a reflection on you and your prejudices.

Do I like the sound of her? Not really. However, every mother I know works, most in paid employent in addition to running the home and looking after the kids.

Its easy to assume that but thats not the case, my 'ex' gf, her mother, brothers and sisters are all hard working people, her mum has worked all her life looking after mentally disabled people and has always been able to support herself and bring up her 9 kids. The men in her life have contributed like in any marriage or relationship but haven't been the main providers, she's very strong minded and stands on her own 2 feet. The main reason she's had so many kids is because she wanted a big family and for some men that can either be a hit or miss, they either wanted that at 1st and then found out they couldnt cope, they fell out, someone cheated or whatever reason, u cant say that she's needed those men for 'support'.

After spending a few nights out with my ex and her mum i've found out that they both enjoy having a drink, and her mum has come across to be fun and down to earth and just likes a laugh, the downside being she has an eye for younger men or just 'men' in general and isnt affraid of saying what she thinks, weather im with her daughter or not they like to eye up and chat to blokes, it just happens that im not one to have my gf do that in front of me i find it disrespectful and rude, it was her mum that was pointing him out and ranting on about him which only made my ex want to look. This is not the type of behavior i agree with so i said what i thought on the matter, at least now i've got to see their true colours and made my way out sooner than later.

Good for you but sorry you found out a tad bit too late. The next girl/woman will be better and you'll have slightly better of what your looking for in a mate as well. Good luck!
