What a man gives u as a gift should not reflect on how much he cares for a woman because i'm a type of gal who appreciates the littlest things he's done for me; don't get me wrong the big things are considered but the little things weight out more. If I want to get him an expensive gift thats because i want to, not because he got me great things; We are not in a competition, we are suppose to be in a relationship, which is mor than giving luxurious gifts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181560016799701612.post-6988152640285849422008-04-19T13:36:00.000-04:002008-04-19T13:36:00.000-04:00@Jackie you seemed to take the words right out of ...@Jackie you seemed to take the words right out of my mouth when you said "Sometimes the most meaningful things don't cost a thing" I think people get so wrapped up in what they can buy to show their love because its something they can use to measure how much the cares about them. Words and actions (e.g.calling me every morning to make sure I get out of bed) is what really catches my eye. <BR/>@Malibu- Jackie did make some great comments which I also agreed with. lol<BR/>@ Eb I also do the same in terms of getting something myself if it's something I really want.<BR/>@Don I think we all would feel obligated to give the person something of equal value or greater. Personally it would be hard for me to accept the laptop...but if it really came from his heart and not to show off in someway, I think that I would just find other ways to express how much I care that can never be bought with money. <BR/><BR/>@Everyone Thanks So Very Much For Reading and Commenting!Just_Wonderinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17244692809910594333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181560016799701612.post-1262178266279151422008-04-17T13:46:00.000-04:002008-04-17T13:46:00.000-04:00In that scenario I would definitely feel obligated...In that scenario I would definitely feel obligated to spend more than I probably would.<BR/><BR/>I think that would make her just as happy as she made me.<BR/><BR/>If I couldn't afford it, even while knowing ahead of time, then she's have to understand.

I feel like if its really something I want I can buy it for myself so I dont really get caught up in how much they spent on me.Eb the Celebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12920888116302185562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181560016799701612.post-17925667377526205112008-04-16T12:54:00.000-04:002008-04-16T12:54:00.000-04:00I concur with Jackie! =)I concur with Jackie! =)Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08991071306838666573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181560016799701612.post-78419631958213669722008-04-14T13:39:00.000-04:002008-04-14T13:39:00.000-04:00Hmmm...interesting question.

It does tend to work out that the longer two people have been dating, the more they will be inclined to spend on their significant other, however I dont think it's a requirement. Sometimes the most meaningful things don't cost anything at all. In fact I just read something today that something like it doesn't cost a thing to pay attention! So true!! The right words, at the right time, with the right smile or kiss...nothing could mean more!! To me anyway...Jackie E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03423251702855821726noreply@blogger.com
