birthday gifts for the newly dating...

Nah, too early to get him something. Just buy him a drink or two while you're out And wear something cute.

thanks!.  In fact, it's my fav spinning night, and since we have gone out so much, I told him I wanted to do spinning after work, then a beer.  I have no idea what is functional, so I'm guessing here, LOL!

edit... but wait cute?, I told him my hair would still be in a ponytail, LOL!! 

I don't know exactly, but I do know it's not BudLight... which is my fav, LOL!

Agree if you pay for the beer that should be plenty, Im sure hs isnt expecting anything...

If you feel you must get him something it needs to be small, i.e spare bike tubes or something similar

wurkit_gurl - 2007-11-26 9:23 PM Have fun on your date. I am still waiting to hear about mine He was home for the holiday and he doesn't have my phone number but my roommies said I should wait and let him contact me via email or wait and see him next week at church.

what is home?  is his home is near you?, or somewhere else?

and how does he not have your phone number?  How did he contact you for the date?

Waiting sucks... if you are interested, you are interested... there is no shame in calling and saying hi - want to catch up while you are home?

ha ha, funny thing you would mention tubes!!  He took my bike home on Saturday and said it needed cleaning, and he would be glad to do it.  My tube stems were bent and it was hard to pump air, and he said he'd fix that.  I argued about him bringing my bike home, but then gave in.  I got my bike back not only cleaned with an oiled chain, etc... but new tubes with these huge stems!!!  I asked him if I owed him for the tubes and he said "nah, I had a bunch of new ones laying around"

He's a good guy... something clearly must be wrong with him, LOL!

thanks!!  I was thinking of getting him something totally tech... he is so non tech... I really need to work on his computer.  He's on MSN dial-up, oh dear gawd, LOL!! 

thanks for refraining from the bad   We are good.. adults... if that means anything, LOL!  I guess I won't get him anything.  If I had more time, I could think of something funny.  No, do not want to put him in an awkward position... I am into comfortable, whatever makes that happen, that is me.

#7 is always a winner

Treat him to a casual dinner/beer after spin class.

Give him a funny birthday card

Call it a night.

Home is Chicago. We both live in Northern VA. And he asked me out in person at a party I had the Friday before Turkey Day. We continued talking after he asked me out to dinner, so I guess neither of us thought about it. This isn't the first time a guy has asked me out, genuinely been interested and neglected to get my info. The last ex did the same. I left my phone number at his house (I nannied for the family he rented a room from) and he called me.

WHA??  UHHH!!!!  WOW!!!!  I'M....I'M.......well, I'm flattered that you already knew what I was thinking.  It would have been the same as McFuzzes suggestion of a #7.

However, those smarter than I (and that's not difficult to do) have come up with some good ideas too.

I think a perfect gift would be something very practical, like a bottle of lube...

...

...for his bike 

Put a big ol' bow on it, good for a small chuckle.  As a guy, I'm obligated to say that you shouldn't waste your money on a card - (the idea is that if enough women stop buying them, we can stop buying them also   ) 

yeah I'm sure you thought of a beer and then call it a night... I think you would meant "after a beer, go home  with him for the night", LOL!!  You may fool some of the people all of the time, and even all of the people some of the time, but you can never fool all of the people all of the time"   Dear Abe... he even knew you

Geeee...thanks.  Of course I'm going to SASS you about 'trying out his kickstand.'  However, the reality is that it's too soon for that young lady and you should know better than to even think about 'beer, home and bed.'  Shame on you.

trying out his kickstand?, wtf is that!!  You're a tool... unfortunately you make me laugh, LOL!

thanks McFuzz... always the functional one of the group... what would we do without you

ha ha, you men will NEVER be liberated of cards and/or flowers, FORGET IT!!.... in fact, I think you owe your wife some flowers this weekend don't you?

as for the tube, this dude has every bike mechanical piece you can imagine.  I think there will be no gift... but then aren't I a gift in itself, LOL!!
