Did you know they can look at porn on their DSi hand held game thingys? Where the fuck was that technology when I was a teenager? Damn.
I'll confess that I loved those awkward boys in high school. They grow up into beautiful, and often still a bit awkward, men. So lovely, so charming, so glad to be in a world full of them.
And cooking and cleaning. Nothing does it for me more than a man who will make me dinner on occasion and clean up after himself. <3
Dinner and a movie is nice enough, but pretty boring. It would not impress, or make me think twice about a guy who was on the bubble.
It's generally a bad idea to buy jewelry or clothes for a woman. I've never had a boyfriend or long-term partner whose taste matched mine and who got it right. I hate being stuck with jewelry or clothes that are fugly, but that I feel obligated to keep and wear because they were gifts. Hate it.
Oh yeah, and I don't really go for jewellery. My last birthday present was a stack of comic books.
Cooking me a good meal will probably go farther in terms of making me feel cared for and allowing you to show off a little, because it's not going to leave me uncomfortably worried if I'm now obligated to you, or if you're going think I should feel obligated, and then sulk if I don't put out. I'd rather have your time and attention than presents.
I once received jewelry on a first date, and even though it wasn't expensive, it was a definite turn off. Much too soon.
I for one would rather cook together than go out. And, I've never been a big jewelry fan either. But, I'd rather spend my time in activities that result in becoming hot, sweaty, and dirty; pretty jewelry gets ruined in those typed of activities.
Count me the no-jewelry-or-clothes-please crowd. And I think the actual money involved in taking someone out to dinner is much less important than the social points for the act gifting someone with an evening. (Men also respond to this, but often by feeling intimidated instead of complimented. I LOVE it when a guy is secure enough to let me take him out instead.)
Awesome dates can be had on the cheap... a $500 dinner with an asshole is still dinner with an asshole.
I've hinted at my boyfriend buying me a star chart for my birthday, too :) I'm super excited. Cunnilingus will be included as well, obviously. Best birthday present ever.
Not all of us demand men to spend money on us. I'd feel really bad if my boyfriend paid for everything (or at least most of it) :P
Not all women want expensive dates and gifts. One day I called my husband in between classes to rant about the truly horrible day I was having at work. To cheer me up, he stopped by the bookstore and bought me a Giant Microbe- they are these stuffed animals designed to look like microbes- because he knows I love them. I'd rather have that stuffed Shigella than any piece of jewelry in the world.
Being interesting is key, my favourite part of our life is the constant discussions we have on juat about everything. He's smart, no he's briliant! We share a passion for human sexuality and a voracious hunger for knowledge.
The one thing I don't agree on is the perfuming, I'm heavily allergic to scents and prefer people to smell like people. My advice would be to forgo colognes until you know for sure that this potential mate finds them arousing. No one is going to judge you because you don't smell like something that came out of a bottle if you smell fresh and clean. This can also lead to a fun shopping date where you can pick together a "scent" to go along with your relationship.
