Him
to her: What not to give
By
Catherine Pillsbury
Stuffed
Animals
We’re in college! Get away from stuffed animals
as a way of showing affection. Unless it has a necklace
or bracelet around its neck for her, stay away from them.
But even that is kind of creepy. She’ll say it’s
cute and sweet, but she will be thinking something else.
CD
Very impersonal and almost offensive unless it’s
a collection of songs you put together that remind you
of her. Again, the thoughtful ideas will get you farther.
Anything to improve her
For the sake of you and any future children you want,
don’t even consider a gift that could be misconstrued
as a “fixer upper” gift. These include make-overs,
cooking classes and gym memberships. Even if they are
valid things she needs to work on, no girl wants them
pointed out, especially on Valentine’s. Besides,
you don’t want us changing you! If you have to question
it, don’t do it!
Chocolates
Just over-rated. Everything seems to be chocolate
on Valentine’s and it’s not that sweet (no pun
intended). If you’re that hard up for a gift, Godiva
is the best. But add something else, such as flowers and
wine.
A Card
Never, under any circumstances, give a girl that you
are “seeing” or “dating” just a card.
This should be self-evident but if this is done, you’ll
have to really fix it later. Plus, you know she’ll
tell all her friends and you’ll be “that guy”
and will have difficulty finding any other girl to go
out with you ever again. Word travels fast! |
