really good pressie

[biscuitboy]

taking a young lady out at the weekend - just come out of a relationship so a bit rusty on 'courting' !!!

what would be a really good pressie to give to her??

[4getmenot]

Is this a first date?

[biscuitboy]

we have hung out at work and in larger groups but yeah i guess this is a first proper date

[Lore]

The first real date with my now fiance started with a packet of fruit pastiles being handed to me... he knew how much I liked them and it was very very sweet indeed.- the act not the actual sweets! ... don't over do it with presents in the early stages.

Good luck :)

aaw biscuit, you are a sweetheart!
Flowers (nothing too elaborate) always go down well with us girlies. A single rose would be very romantic unless she is not that kind of girl. I could give you loads of ideas but it depends on what she is like really.............

[Octavius]

Depends what you are doing really. She might not want to end up carrying a bunch of flowers all over the shop if you are on a wander.

I like the sweets idea..go for something really simple, but something that you know she likes, something personal you may have noticed or remembered, we like that sort of thng :o) Or even, take along a packet of lovehearts to share, and share a joke about what they say on them. hope all goes well and you have a great time. x

My current boyfriend asked me out on a date and set the date for 2 days after we first met. He then couldn�t wait to see me so phoned me up to bring the date forward to the next night! He said he was going to take me to dinner near my home so I had to choose my favourite venue. Then on the night he came to my door and handed me a big bouquet of flowers before we headed out. It was so romantic and I felt terribly spoilt� but loved it!

Lore is spot on though. The understated but insightful gifts always mean more to us girls. Find something that you know she likes or even better, something that will make her laugh, and then hand it to her over a drink or a meal.

go for something small and simple and everyday, so from now on whenever she sees that thing, it will remind her of this time; for example, a single, simple flower; a walnut whip; a beautiful sea shell;

congratulations with your firstish date.

[atolhurst]

an STD? She'll certainly never forget you!!!

[Champagne]

NOT A WALNUT WHIP!! �Cos if the date goes horribly wrong then she�ll be put off walnut whips for life. And how can a woman survive without walnut whips?

Mmmmm� whips�.

[PinkFizz]

Depends on her age as well I guess.

[atolhurst]

Sorry.

Seriously, I think you've got to think of the cost in that if you spend too much, you'll appear either a bit flash, or she'll come to expect such gifts and could become an expensive gf.

Do you know anything she's interested in? An author maybe (get one of his books), a band (a CD). That's a bit more personal.

If not, a bunch of flowers is always popular (but only a small bunch).

[n00dles]

Such a sweetie, yourself!

I happened to mention to mr n00dles (on our first 'date') of a film I had recently seen on video, expressing how much I had enjoyed it and if it was true to the book. Wasn't able to see him for a couple of weeks, but on our second date, he presented me with said book! It made me feel really special.........

Good luck have a great time xXx ☺

[4getmenot]

Whatever you do dont give her a pack of polos :-) I think a single rose is always nice. :-)

[Champagne]

Good point WM. Start as you mean to go on an' all that... ;o)

[ELVIS68]

Spoil her and take her to a Harvester

I would be very cautious about any present on a first date. Simply just pay for the evening. You don't want to scare her off or make her feel you are coming on too heavy. As the relationship progresses, there will be plenty of time for that.

[spudqueen]

Mr Spudqueen wooed me with Terrys Chocolate Oranges!

[girlygirl]

I would be embarassed if a first date gave me a present and it might even make me feel a bit uncomfortable!

There is plenty of time for that when you know her better.....

:O)
