    if you're doing the "friends" thing I'd say get her something small (a token gift), but otherwise don't bother.

    get her something small!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,598 ✭✭✭ferdi


    dont get her anything personal - put no thought into it.

    A plain card (don't put any soppy messages or poems in there, just "Best wishes" or whatever"), or a token gift, no more than €20. A book or something. You could try be humourous and get her a book like "Coping with loss", but you'd be lucky if it went down well.

    Make her a coupon in photoshop for a good ride.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,457 ✭✭✭Cactus Col

    Not true buddy! Sex with an ex is deadly!! :D

    The only headf*ck i have, is trying trying play hide the salami with my ex, and tell my current girlfriend where and what i was doing the night before! lol

    You're only young once! I'm only 20, and plan on screwing as many as i can while it still works! Think i'll get my ex a bottle of perfume, and... any idea??? :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 387 ✭✭fischerspooner


    don't get her anything you lunatic!! She's probably bedded other men by now, that's what women do post-breakup, sleep around etc. Get her nothing, keep your chin up, and get on with your life, she'll do nothing but drag you down if you assosiate with her now

    ...You're stupid

    Think about it this way, are you buying presents for your other friends?

    If you are, then get her the same kind of thing. If not, don't

    Or what if friends with a girl ( since few months ) and want to take it further, should I get a present/card or not bother?

    Hell yeah!! If you gotta ask, it prolly means you're a stinge bag! Hey, no offense! lol :mad:

    Fact.
    Girls love presents.

    Get her something, does'nt have to be too lavish! Like some nice perfume or something... then go over to her house or invite her over to yours. After a few christmas drinks, she'll be thinkin about you! And how cute and sweet you've been to buy her a present. (Blah blah girl stuff)

    Before you know it, she'll have her tongue in your mouth, and you'll be making babies.

    And live happily ever after.
    The end. :D

    I think i won't. I think it'd be too much at this stage, maybe a card?

    I find a Flaming Bag of Poo always goes down well. Less than romantic and better than assault. Balance, if you will.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,793 ✭✭✭✭Hagar


    Buy a nice little gift that you would like yourself.
    Don't give it to her unless she comes along with something for you.
    Either way you get a present. :D

    A card?... that's a nice idea! :) But we ain't livin in 1940 no more!!

    Listen up buddy! :D

    You'll get nowehere without putting in some effort! You did say u wanna take things further?

    Spend a few bob on the poor girl!!

    Christmas time is perfect! Make your move before someone else does! Go with the perfume! Do it! Do it!


  • Subscribers Posts: 19,425 ✭✭✭✭Oryx


    Yeah buy a present, better to do that than max embarrassment on Christmas day if she gets you one. :eek:

    Gav1n the girls must be queuing around the block to shag you with that charisma.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,835 ✭✭✭karlh


    get her a dildo.

    Herr Capitan, I direct you to some immortal words of wisdom:

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,422 ✭✭✭cajun_tiger


    best bet buy a card and put a voucher in it and say i coukld let it go with out marking the occasion its nothing speacial

    sh'll probably get you something


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,859 ✭✭✭logic1


    Let me get this straight you're basically paying this girl to stay friends with you if you buy her a gift.

    Cut that **** - staying friends never works because one always wants to get back together then when the other finds someone new there's jealousy.

    Give her a good facial then wipe it off on her curtains.

    .logic.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 42,362 Mod ✭✭✭✭Beruthiel


    hardly a personal issue is it?
    surely after 4 years you know the girl well enough to decide this!?

    off to After Hours

    Gardai rescue handcuffs and whipped cream victim

    Saturday morning: Staff at the Holiday Inn, XYZ, called the Gardai after discovering a man handcuffed to the bed. He was naked but his modesty was protected by a liberally covering of whipped cream. Foul play is not suspected.

    I don't think that you need to get her anything. As I said on another thread I got an ex a nutcracker :D but unless you get presents for all your friends then I do not think that you should get her anything. Having said that, if you can see the two of you getting back then you should get her something.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,684 ✭✭✭FatherTed


    Get her a backup present like a box of chocolates or something small. Just in case if she comes around with something. If she doesnt come round then either eat the choccies or give them to yer ma.

    "Gavin the sSex God"...

    ...nope, sorry, just not hearing it.

    "Oh yes, you're the best, you're the best, oh Gavin"...

    ...nope, still not hearing it.


    I mean, come on, what sort of a naff name is Gavin...

    hey guys
    is this it??????
    get her something if you want something in return???
    do you want to give her a gift to signify friendship?
    do you want to give her a gift to signify the season of goodwill?

    if you wish to give her a present then do so. stop agonising. go with your instincts be generous. give with a full heart not with preconditions or indeed any conditions. :p
