I'm not talking anything remotely expensive.. Just something cheap and creative.

For instance, when I went out with one girl, after we parked, I told her I had something for her.

"It's something you wear.. But I'm only going to give it to you if you promise you will wear it tonight. If you don't promise, I won't even TELL you what it was"

She promised, and I pulled out one of those glow-stick bracelets and put it on her wrist. She like it.. she thought it was funny..

What do you think about bringing little gifts for women you date? What have you brought them?

Back in my AFC days I was supposed to be having dinner with this girl and so I bought a little pot of her favorite flowers. Now, she flaked on me for some sort of emergency, or maybe "emergency", who knows, but I told her that I had to give her flowers to my aunt instead. She didn't even believe that I had gotten the flowers, she thought I made it up just to sound sweet.

Thing is, now whenever we're talking and she remembers that, cause I mention something related, or she does or something, she always gets doggy dinnerbowl eyes and babbles about how amazing that is for a guy to do something like that.

My point: little things, nothing big, but little thoughtful things that have sentimental meaning, will go miles. If you've got a nickname for her, give her something related to that and that way it anchors the name to her even more and now this thoughtful gift makes the name something she LOVES.

^ Exactly.

There's a perfect example of this in the movie Good Luck Chuck, where the protagonist is gaming Jessica Alba. Anyway he's just met her not long ago, but one thing he knows about her is that she's prone to injury, she's a bit of a klutz (sp?). In one scene he presents her with this expensive looking box, looks like it could contain a ring, and she's got this look on her face like 'oh god, how lame, he hardly knows me', but when she opens the box, there's a tiny little plaster inside.. Perfect!

As a side note that's a pretty good movie i'd recommend it

I would do the ring box thing if it was a piece of ring candy. I think that would be some funny shit. I remeber reading an idea that someone posted on here a while back saying he would have the girl bring him a gift and say " Im not superficial, just something for like a dollar." He said he had girls bring him all sorts of stuff. That idea is gold.

I have a question regarding this subject, i'm posting in this thread so i don't have to open a new one.

I'm seeing this girl, date #3 is about to happen, haven't kclosed on the first 2 dates because she's a pretty shy girl and i decided to keep the first and second date for building real rapport and escalading kino.

However while i was out in town with a friend i saw a nice colorful key-chain that looks exactly like this girls hat so i decided to get it for her.

Any tips about how should i give it to the girl so it won't land up as needy or something, because it's not at all the case?
Thanks.

A gift is ok if it is in accordance to your relation to her.

Just met - 15 minutes of your time

day 2 - Nothing

1 week - whatever you would give a friend, a cracker, chewing gum

after the F-close - Small inexpensive things that remind her of you

LTR - Anything you like

If you are secure with yourself you don't even think about such things. You just do what comes naturally. The problem is that none of you are comfortable with who you really are! Hell, none of you even know who you really are!

A few months ago I was at the seafront with one of my mates who had just started seeing this chick. From one of those claw machines I won some cheap, crappy little stuffed toy. I gave it to the guy and told him to tell her that I was bored so I played the machine and won this, but I didn't actually want it and was going to leave it in the slot for some kid to find but it suddenly reminded him of her. He did and she loved it; not because he got it for her but because it showed that he had thought of her. It helps show that you're likely to stick around because she's in your head, but you're not getting needy because you didn't buy it for her.

So, yeah, just say "this reminded me of you, thought you might like it," and hand it to her in an offhand way.
