Urgent help!!!!

Better start smacking her around now so she doesn't get false hope of getting something good.

You're going to hell.

 

[SV_Dude]

You're going to hell.

I'm married, I'm already there

 

[MtnT4R]

Yes you can.

I bought my gf a ring for her birthday, a very nice, expensive claddagh ring, and she got pissed because it wasn't an engagement ring.

Funny thing is, we had a convo about it two or three days before that, and both agreed that it wasn't the right time to do anything like that......

Damn women. Ya can't kill 'em, and......where'd my beer go?

Amen. The only safe ground is to take her out to a nice dinner and buy her an appliance.

 

[KidVermicious]

It's important to note at this point that welders and drill presses are not appliances. :nono:

Women, can't live with 'em, can't live with 'em! Btw I've been married for 2200, I mean 22 years... :biggrin1:

What about grinders or parts washers? For what it's worth, my wife is starting to get her hands just as dirty in the garage as mine. She's actually wanting to get into the garage and work on the runner. I think if I bought her a parts washer she would be very happy that she's not having to fill a bucket and mix in the solvent and do everything the hard way.

Get out now. It's a trap.

You never buy her a ring UNLESS its an ENGAGEMENT RING! The giving of any ring other than an engagement ring is just a mindfu€k to them. This is pre-marriage of course. After that WGAF! For our 22nd anni I washed her car(no int. detail) and gave her a card I downloaded. Didn't even fold it straight. KidV is so right about keeping the expectations low. LOW!!!

No. Girls like that stuff if they think you thought of it and planned but decided to buy an expensive gift instead but then went back to the original idea but then went for the second way for fear of not making her happy because the first way was thought to be too nice.

Seriously, from a guy that has been married 30 years now:
Diamonds or nothing. No matter what you do it will be wrong - or right - or both - or neither. Buy her a diamond and hope for the best - or don't buy her anything and hope for the best. Your chances of making her happy or mad are equal. Trust me, I have data to prove it.
BTW the diamond thing only works if she gets to pick it out.

My wife is just as happy - or not - with a gift or without. Same goes for cards too. Pick at random! If you try to think about it she will know! Good luck - or not...winning the lottery is easier. I love my wife and sometimes she likes me and sometimes she does not. I still have no idea what works. Oh, I have a 22 yo daughter too that is following the same pattern with her fiance who asked me these questions also. It's like the 3 Laws of Thermodynamics. Everybody tries but nobody truly understands..

Been married 15 years and all I can say is A-****IN-MEN!

 

[Mahalas]

LOL, you guys are funny.




So... how did it go?

It went good..

So this is what we did: ofcourse u could see the candles in the kitchen but i had more spread around the living room. infront of the TV i had our inflatable camping mattress all set up ready for our indoor date night. we watched out fav addictive show on netflix (Prison break) ate popcorn and drank sodas.
lets just say the rest is history.

Amen. The only safe ground is to take her out to a nice dinner and buy her an appliance.

she said "dont ever buy me an appliance, that just means you want me to cook more" quote from her.... but i thought it was funny. but lets be honest. when we remodel our kitchen in our house down the years from now ill pull this post up.

Women, can't live with 'em, can't live with 'em! Btw I've been married for 2200, I mean 22 years... :biggrin1:

To which you should have replied "but baby, your cooking is awesome".

Even if it isn't.

Lol. No appliance would help my gf in that department. Good thing she more than makes up for it in others.

Man, this thread makes me appreciate my no-bullshit wife even more. When something is coming up and she wants me to do something special she'll say something like: "our anniversary is next week, and i think I'd like you to do something special. Maybe flowers and a foot massage." So i get her flowers and give her a foot massage.

Haha agreed. Ive been scolded a few times for not giving an opinion more often but then I speak and she is immediately reminded why she likes me quiet...

 

[THatfield]

I'm just not gonna get married. :hiding:

Hard to do though when the 4Runner is such a babe magnet.

p.s. this thread is epic

 

[bofa]

You're so .

You're pulling out all the stops at six months, what the hell are you going to do for a five or ten year anniversary? Brother, you have to keep expectations low, or you're in for a long long relationship.

This!

 

[KidVermicious]

I'm just not gonna get married. :hiding:

Yeah, you say that now. Sooner or later some woman is going to get her hooks in and you won't have a choice. You'll even think it's your idea, and you'll like it.
