Buy her a turquoise (or he favorite colored stone or her birthstone,) pendant. Next present, matching earrings, next, matching ring. But, buy flowers. Always flowers even if it's not an occasion they can't get enough flowers so just make flowers a budget item and keep them coming. You will be famous because she will be constantly bragging about this great boyfriend she has that always brings her flowers. That way, if she ever dumps you, there will be girls standing in line for you.

Err...

A pre-nuptual agreement might be in order.....

(Just a thought)

Do you have any idea of what she really likes (besides you) in the whole wide world?

GET THAT if you can...

Seriously -

How well do you really know her? Have you been paying attention to her likes? Is there something she talks about a lot, and a piece of it you can get if not the whole thing? I'm assuming a Maserati is out of your price range.

Careful about this advice.

Not all women think alike !

Some women think this behaviour is trying to "BUY THEIR AFFECTION"

Some women think FRESH flowers are a waste.

Some women think men want them as their possessions


MY suggestion:

Walk softly and carry some common sense

Make them laugh everyday and have them for a long time ...if that's what you want.

Dennis, if she dumps you because of the flowers, there will still be gals standing in line for you. (Canadian women can't be that different!)

Now do as I say, not as I do. Really.

Great advice, here!!!!!!!


Take this young woman to a nice restaurant, (and heading this off at the pass, no, Tim. . . not Mickey-D's) and spend some TIME with her.

IF you MUST buy her a gift, make sure it's what she will love, not what you THINK she will like!

If you have no idea of what she would love (I know, I've already used that word) you need to go back to 'listen to your lady' school.


Oh. . and congrats on your anniversary!!!!!!!!!!!




Now with that logical stuff out of the way. . . my oldest son gave 'the love of his life' (on their First Anniversary) a diamond tennis bracelet.
Heck. . it only cost him $5,000.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


(Don't ask me how the relationship went after that.)

What did "Maverick" say in the movie, "Top Gun"???????






"The first one wasn't pretty. It crashed and burned."

im with blue oval on this one, and tim for the gifts that keep on giving.

buy yourself an elephant trunk thong, put it on, a red bow around your neck and tell her im all yours.



oh yeah i forgot its not what you think she'll like....... do all that and get her some roses as well. that'll seal the deal
