An important decision

Okay. So there's this girl that I like...

Well, it's a little bit more serious than that. Every time we're close everyone else's hair stands on end from the sudden rise in elecricity in the atmosphere. But due to one thing and another nothing's happening yet.

It's her birthday on Thursday and I want to get her a gift.but everything seems to suck. The best I've managed to come up with so far is an 'adopt a tiger' certificate but that sucks because I don't know if she'd really dig quasi owning a tiger.

So what should I get her? I want something small enough that it just says 'small gift' but impressive enough to say 'this guy will be the best thing that ever happened to you'.

Please help.

Thanks.

You could name a star after her. Just an idea. And it gives you an excuse to hang out in the dark. Imagine the possibilities.

That's so 5 years ago I know a bunch of guys that used to do that, it was funny cause once the novelty wears off you realize you're stuck with an $80 piece of paper.

now that you're finished, what was your idea?

I ADORE the star thing. I got one as a gift and it's still one of my all time favorites.

i'm thinking this star idea is great idea.... get in on the ground floor! the stellar property market will be picking up again once greenspan wakes up from his nap... she'll be rich! ialways wanted a rich girl

I heard that 'name a star' thing was a scam.

it is pretty much since NASA and whatever the official astrometrical office is called aren't going to change star NG-08089-FA to Susan just because some guy buys it for his girl.

It's a little hard to pick something, not knowing the girl. What is she into?

two goldfish. one bowl. maybe a few ornaments.

one tip tho, make sure they are good and healthy, cos if 1 or both peg it, happiness will not be yours!(i know,i did it!)

thehorseofcourse.

i don't really think it's ever a good idea to suprise people with animals, if they don't like it or are reluctant it's the animals that suffer.

I was surprised with a cat. I was still living at home too, so really my parents, my brother and I were surprised with a cat. We love her, but it was a really bad idea.

Fish, on the other hand, aren't as terrible an idea. It's cute, for sure.

Girly things. What makes it difficult is that if we were together it would be easy. I can think of dozens of things she'd like. But we're not together. I'm trying to get a charming gift that says:

"Hey. It's me. The guy who when we touch things nearby burst into flame. You're not talking to me right now for understandable reasons to do with your past experiences but I am yours all day every day whether you know it or not and I can't let you get away without trying to get with you at every available opportunity."

That''s a tough buy.

get her a shit bitch bear.

Clara Something way too expensive for someone I'm not going out with. Unfortunately.

cougheeThat is funny. But not a good first move I think...

oh, so she doesn't have any sense of humor? better run while you still can, then!

Go to McDonalds and buy two McHappy meals...then when she least expects it you give her your toy.

Its cheap, cute and its fun...I'm sure she will share it with you.

The solution has been arrived at.

A birthday card with puppies on and a cute cuddly monkey toy (to remind her of me, a big cuddly monkey non-toy).

I feel better now.

nothing says I LOVE YOU like a buttplug.

just an idea....

Get her a gun.





what?

I would have bought tickets to a show or something. Find out from her friends music she likes. Man...dont do the stuffed animal, flowers, or card thing. Clara is right about that. That's not a birthday gift, that's a "I got this for you from the store just because" gift. That's when those are appreciated. Bringing her a bottle of her favorite wine or alcohol and a video rental gift certificate or punch card would be far better and that could work in your favor.
