Spoiling your girlfriend.

I like to do this, I like her to know I think about her and I care about her.
Even if it's just getting her a box of sweets for £2 when I'm on holiday or buying her a dozen roses, I like buying her gifts just because (I've only done this 3 times, if you don't include valentines day though)

Do any of you guys do this?
Women, how do you feel about guys doing this?

 

i love it when dave gets it in his head to stop off and buy me some flowers just because he thought i'd like some. he's pretty thoughtful like that. i end up utterly enslaved by him. can't help it.

 

Yeah, flowers because he thought of me is like - the thing that will make me pounce on him as he walks through the door.

It's great to have some of the small things that do make me feel special. And you know what? Women do it a lot with men. They'll pick up a snack or beer for the man and it's the same idea. It's the thoughtfulness and giving sentiment that is quite romantic.

I've also found that helping with the chores is a thoughtful way to tell my wife I love her.

 

Let's split a six pack and a roll me a joint. Youre In.

 

I can't use that one. My wife and I are the po-po.

 

I love feeling pampered by my husband. I still get teary eyed when I come home from a long day and my husband has a hot bath drawn for me. Every morning I wake up to a cup of coffee made just the way I like it. Or when I get sick and he takes care of me. Or when .......Yeah, I love being spoiled. Since I enjoy it so much I make sure to inspire him by spoiling him rotten.

I think most people enjoy being spoiled, but rarely end up in a situation in which they are regularly. People forget that it doesn't take $$$ to spoil someone, so they don't do anything. How very tragic......

 

depends how you spoil them. I've been in relationships where I've spent excessive amounts on a girl to be "nice" and it was foolish. doing little things like picking some flowers, cooking breakfast/dinner, whatever, that's nice and you're spending time instead of money. but buying jewelry, expensive dinners, perfume, clothes, all that is a fool's game, and a woman who'd ask for or want such things would be out the door without as much as goodbye-fuck.

 

No. Don't "spoil" your girlfriend because then she will turn into a Diva and come to expect it.

Instead, get her a few, very thoughtful gifts at random, whether things are going good or bad.

 

Ya, I don't get this buying stuff thing. I think if you buy something generic like flowers its usually not as thoughtful as any other kind of gift you can give, but thats just me. And I fail with women. If I had the dough I would spoil my special lady friend.

 

I've never really been spoiled alot, but when it happens I love it. My cat spoils me, he gives me a hug everyday

 

I always loved to make breakfast for my ex when ever I woke up before her.

 

haha my ex tried to make me breakfast once. It was the most disgusting think I ever pretended to eat. it was a nice gesture though, so he got morning booty for it. then I went and made a proper meal. I, to this day, make fun of that. it was incredibly endearing.

 

Most women don't want "stuff" they want your attention. When you stop and buy a woman flowers it means you were thinking about her, and that is what makes it mean something to her; NOT THE FLOWERS! Very few women I have met would give up a good foot rub and some cuddling for a fancy dinner out. If you find yourself with a woman that thinks you need a fat wallet for her to enjoy your company, you really need to find another woman.

My husband has bought me jewelry and other pricey gifts, but the thing I still remember is 8 years ago when he made me a birthday cake. I collect carousel horses, so he decided to make me a cake that looked like a merry go round. It wasn't a thing of beauty, but it was the best gift he could have given me.

 

Women love small attentions, so keep spoiling her, she'll love you for this!

 

this is very true
but i also think it shoudl be a two way street... ie if your guy is awesome enough to spoil you, you should be spoiling him on back
small things, doing little sweet things for each other, indulging your partner now and then... it all tends to build a really good relationship as long as its decently balanced

 

It a nice thing to get a present once and a while, but i dont feel that a man should have to buy me anythign to show his affection towards me. Cause really materials mean nothing

 

yikes. she musta looked really hot, because her psycho side showed up pretty fast, eh?

 

Some of the replies here are so sweet , it makes me want John to spoil me more :tongue:
