Bec Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 I don't get flowers unless I have a kid. (or two at once) Quote
Bec Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 Doug doesn't need to buy me things to show me he loves me. He shows me everyday, just by putting up with all my shit. If people truly are meant to be, they will ALWAYS be there for you through everything. He's put up with the absolute HORROR that my family have put us through and has never once held it personally against me (even though I have). You can choose your friends and lovers but you can't choose your family. He has been there through two pregnancies, the second being twins when I lost site of my feet at 4 months. He thought I looked funny (well I did), but he never put me down. He is a wonderful, thoughtful person who I simply couldn't live without. He makes me laugh and I trust him completely with EVERYTHING. If you guys feel as though you have to buy a girl stuff, to show her you like/love her, then she probably isn't worth the money you're spending. Just being yourself and who you are should be enough. If she misses you when you aren't around, constantly thinks of you when you are not together, can't wait to see you next and goes out of her way to be with you, then she's a keeper. Just hanging out with you will be enough to please her, even if it's going to the wreckers or changing the motor in the car (and helping you do it, getting greasy and liking it). Love is free and has no expectations. You love a person for who they are, not what they can buy you. Quote

They are simply a physical gesture. But yeah, it's funny how some are more obvious about it than others... hence, the title of this topic. I'm just shit stirring my sister's man! hahaha Quote
demuire Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 Bec is wise, I like Bec, it's easy to agree with Bec. I buy things for girls all the time. Not because I expect anything in return (although I suppose sometimes I do hope for something in return), but because I like buying things for people. Especially flowers. I like flowers, and I like giving flowers to people. And like, sending them to their work and stuff :D I like feeling special, haha, some people would say I live to feel special. And well, for me I think that if I was a girl and I got flowers, I'd feel special. I like making people feel special. I like buying flowers. For other people. Quote
ancullen Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 I spent $1,500 on an engagement ring. I was stoked because I talked the price down from $1,800!!! Some people might think this is being cheap, but I would have bought the ring anyway, I just wanted to see how far I could get it down. :D And it was lucky I spent that much, because I proposed on Tuesday Feb 14, then on Friday Feb 17 I bought Lola for another $1,500, so at least I couldn't get in too much trouble for that. I always used to buy her meals and movie tickets whenever we went out, but when I became an apprentice, she started paying for me a lot. Since I've got another job now, it's gone back the other way, but we don't go out as much as we used to due to different working hours and a lack of money due to paying for a house. Quote
Raven Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 I bought my ex a shitload of stuff. Yves Saint Lauren Babydoll gift pack - $120 Ralph Lauren? Glamourous - $150 Numerous rings and nights out to dinner and expensive restaurants. Then She breaks up with me in April after 4 years and 3 months. I'd love to get her back but yeah. I've had my rant now. Quote
Rolln16 Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 I don't know about other girls out there but i have to say that when Rolln03 buys me things i always feel really guilty that he is spending his money on me and not on his cars!!! LOL :( ... i don't know what it is but when he has a project on i would rather see him spend his money on something that i know will make him happy than on somehting that i want... But then of course i always get past the guilt the next time i get him something... But to add to this thread the very first gift i got from him was on Valentines day when he gave me one of his toys he had when he was little - it was a little dog with big cartoon eyes... and i must say that that is the most treasured thing i ever got from him... after that of course came bracelets, necklaces, teddies, flowers, clothes, and many movies and take out dinners... Also from a gals point of view the most extravagant thing i ever did for him was sneak behind his back :D to buy him a 5k engine & T50 gearbox from the wreckers before he could go and buy them himself... But like all you guys said - its not the material things that matter - its what you have between you each and everyday that proves your love... :hug: Quote

I think I'm in love. You wouldn't happen to want to two-time on Rolln03 and buy me some car bits would you??? Don't need to worry about any of the other relationship stuff, hell, we don't even have to meet. But I will accept gifts. :( Quote
Rolln16 Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 Ancullen - I don't know if i can afford you... :D Quote
ancullen Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 Probably not. After all, I am a man of style and distinction. Unfortunately that can cost a lot. Quote
Rolln16 Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 Well - I could always recycle....hehehe :Þ Quote
demuire Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 Rolln16: I'm just like a Virago - cheap and reliable, easy to ride :D Quote
Rolln16 Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 :D Geez...why don't I just adopt all of you... :( Quote
Tiger Posted October 3, 2005 Author Report Posted October 3, 2005 Rolln16 - You possess a good quality. Appreciation for what a guy values. You don't got in the way of what your man has in plan, and you'd want him to see it all through to the end, because you can forsee his happiness afterwards. THAT right there is the reason why we as males are forever greatful for having girls like you in our midst and we lash out here and there... maybe everywhere... like my sister's boyfriend! hahaha Quote
