My friend's birthday is coming up and i need some ideas!! it's for a girl i kinda have a crush on

how old is she and how long have you known her? i usually give something meaningful that represents her...so the gift depends...

[Supersprynt]

scented candles.

[azian_advanced]

you should probably mention also what her interests are...

[soulshadow]

My friend was a naruto fan / ninja fan so I gave him a set of Nartuo knives. It did the trick.
On this one girls birthday I didn't know what she liked, nor did I know what she want....So I gave her a bottle of RUM. It did the trick and it was under $10 bucks. Nothing expresses there joy more than a bottle of 151

[hioctane]

i already gave her something that she like and she says she loved it. we likes this one band so i bought her the cd... and this one other stuff. im running out of ideas

[BlackCelicaGT94]

what cd??


umm i say take her out to dinner! its still something a friend would do so it doesnt come off all like you like her!

i personally wouldnt want any girly crap unless i asked for it cuz it just gets wasted.

hmmm im trying to think what id want from a guy friend who may have a crush on me and id definetly want him to take me to dinner! or do something fun like a day of being a tourist around a nearby city even though ive been there a billion times! id rather have memories with a goodfriend then crap given to me by them

[creis]

buy her a rose for every year she has lived and like a teddy bear with a candy box on it, maybe as singing birthday bear. and take her out to a nice dinner.

[BlackCelicaGT94]

^ nice gesture but thats so out of a BABYSITTERS CLUB book!

dinner is best i think! and take pics so then down the line u can make a book of pictures -- aww i want a good guy friend...kid where are u! lol

[creis]

^ whats a babysitters club book?

[BlackCelicaGT94]

haha its books about these group of girls who do babysitting but i mean its a good thought but flowers, teddy bear thats too valentines day - hallmark like!

just my .02 ..im sure girls on here would appreciate that but i think flowers are a waste and teddy bears get thrown away eventually. thats why i say memories are the best

[hioctane]

thanks for the advice blackcelica!! i take her out to eat alot she's my eating buddy haha. maybe ill take her out to san francisco or something haha

[BlackCelicaGT94]

sanfran eh?! i hated that place! lol! hmm go to a cool restaurant one that has meaning! like something u both havent been to before! how about dressing up! cuz like tina will tell you - girls like to get dressed up and get pretty!

[ILuvMyCelica95]

how did i miss this?? YESSSSS i need an excuse to get dressed up- i found this cute red dress and i need it, and red shoes... and i have no where to wear this stuff. Prob for valentines day... errr by myself. hahaha

sorry- back on topic- Get her a nice picture frame with a pic of the two of you in it? I like the out to dinner idea. Some place new or to a resturant you know she loves. Flowers are always nice- women love flowers.

[hioctane]

she's goign to a coldplay concert on her brithday... so i asked her out to sushi before her birthday. hopefully it's not wiht another guy =( haha o well. it's worht a shot

[6th_celi_vert]

dude...barry white and scented candles down by the fire....works everytime...lol

[jayi12-15psi]

she's so going to get scared away if you just give her romantic gifts on her birthday if you haven't BEEN romantic with her.

"eating buddy"??? Dude, you're screwed, if you're too close of a friend it'll make the transition so much more difficult.

Oh, and don't spend alot of money... that will also scare her off.

damn it i guess im screwd haha.she doesn't take me seriously when i tell her ilike her becuase im always joking aorund

[devilsden97]

This is your chance!

take her to dinner,

You: "i have something to tell u."
her: "ok"

Right now u have a choice, either crack a joke to lighten the mood, or you can be serious and just tell her. The joke i personally like is, "I'm pregnant with your baby." Or make something up for yourself.

You: "i like u" (DONT SAY LOVE)
her: "i like u too" (she'll most likly mean friends, so interupt her)
you: "no, not as friends, i wanna be more. Ive been watching you from afar for quite sometime now and only recently have i gotten the courage to tell you how i really feel. The way the sun radiates off your hair, how your eyes are like pools into my soul....etc" (say something that really expresses how u feel, dont lie or "stretch the truth")

So u know though, im still single, and havnt had the best luck with women/girls, so just keep that in mind.

[BlackCelicaGT94]

dont say ive been watching u from afar...sounds stalkerish! haha hes her friend so he can say something like "weve been hanging for all these years or months or whatev"

[devilsden97]

Um y?

[ILuvMyCelica95]

because that's not a good thing to say to a woman- I've been watching you from afar- Nat is right it sound like a stalker thing to say.
If a man told me something about how my eyes are like pools into his soul idk if i would laugh or try to run away.

Now that I have a few min on my lovely lunch break (where I get to consume 2 tablespoons of low sodium peanut butter and a small apple: rollseyes: I <3 my diet ) The transition from friends to a significant other can be very tricky. My experience with it has not been fabulous to say the least. A friend of mine in high school whom I used to talk to all the time and have a good amount of mutual friends with started getting close to me. We were close even when I had a boyfriend. When we broke up I took it very hard and he was there for me through a lot of it. Blah blah blah, we talked a lot and spent a lot of time together. We ended up dating for a while and it was awful, because we broke up and things aren't how they used to be. I think even know if I had some interest in a close friend I would be very very hesitant to act on it. I just think the changeover from friends to "lovers"� is a touchy subject.

Edit: whoa weird better Nat?

[Celica_Fan]

Do whatever makes you happy.

[devilsden97]

ok tina, the whole "your eyes are like a pool into your soul" or whatever i said was a joke

obviously ure not gonna say taht, cuz taht would scare anyone. the idea was, just tell her how u feel, make it romantic and ****.
