When sending a christmas or birthday card to a girl then.... without using the word "love" how are you supposed to end it?

Just..
Happy Birthday!

Have a great day!

"From" is just so plain, unemotional and impersonal, surely you have to use "Love from" or "With Love"? :confused:

Haha, made me literally lol :p Finally a Don has come round to my way of thinking, some of these stupid replys are getting very tiresome.

Does your girlfriend know this girl at all? Maybe if you all went out together and she got to know her, and how good friends you are then she won't be that bothered. She just wants to make sure nobody's stealing you from her ;)
 
What can you do, people will be people. It's called an emotion get used to it.
 
Ending it boils down to this i feel..

"...ooooh short answer yes with an if, long answer no with a but..." - rvd. lovejoy

Yes if you feel she wont ever trust you and its only going to damage you both further.
No but, you must both work hard to show each other you can trust, which you've already decided to do (which is great imo).

Simple as that i think.

It's tiresome when these threads popup yet the answer is staring them right in the face. i.e. talk to them, not us. Oh, and then give her one, just to be sure.
 
Interesting thread - started a little daft but... I dunno.

I'm extremely level-headed... MOST of the time. When I'm settled. I've been a settled singleton for some time and so often dole out advice to my newly taken female house mates. They constantly feel like they're on the verge of being dumped despite their boyfriends obviously being head-over-heels for them - mostly because they're so scared of losing the guy - and hence any tiny indicator of things going awry sets them off into a paranoid panic.

Usually it's just the poor guy being busy, or tired, or any number of innocent things, and I have to help the girls remember that (for e.g.) he's moved all his sports practices for her, that he paced around all worried about her when she was gone, other stuff that she really mustn't let a couple of hours' delay in responding to a text message let her forget.

So anyway, my conclusion is that she really likes you, and is so scared of anything or anyone taking you away from her that she can't help but react to little things like that. Less distrust really, more fear of loss.

Sadly (well, not really, but sadly sanity-wise) now I'm on the verge of going on my first actually promising date in some time (have had a few others lately but was never keen), and I can feel The Crazy (TM) welling up inside of me. He's a busy man and contact has been sporadic in the last week or so which has worried me even though I KNOW he's busy and a bit stressed out at the moment and that he won't change his mind so fast but The Crazy just wants to tear her hair out and assume he doesn't like me any more...

I had spoken to her but when she just replies with "hmm" it's kind of hard to get the answer out so I just thought i'd see what other peoples opinions were on the different words.

If you like her then tell her hmmm as an answer is not good enough. If she is just giving a hmmm sign then she probs aint bothed just kicking up a fuss.

Ignore it it will go away and if it doesnt then she aint the right one for you by the sounds of it.

Does she "allow" you to be around other friends (who happen to be girls) or do you feel pressured you "have to tell her" that you're going out, where you're going and with who?

Never felt like that, she wouldn't say I couldnt hang around and I wouldnt tell her she couldnt hang around her male friends either.
 
JamesM - I say don't panic, we all have a funny five minutes now and then, and if it's not a regular occurrence, you can probably forget about her outburst.

As said, most of us women are afflicted by The Crazy and almost always feel really stupid after we've gone off on one. Sorry pet but we can't help it, it's only because we like you men so much.

You never had a stubburn moment?

Or got so upset (rationally or not) that the explaination wasn't enough?

You can't use I was just being stubborn or I was too upset to accept common sense as a defence though!

Epic overreactions from females on this kind of stuff is so frustrating. Why is paranoia so rife?

I'd imagine based on this and the original post that they are both quite young.

I've never liked how the word love is thrown around in the early days of relationships, it just dilutes the meaning of the word.

At last! Some thought put into this!

OP, has your GF been like this before or has she just taken expection this time?

And yes, I apologise - it probably was a bit touchy, but I'm sick of all the "OMG! Dump her and nuke her from orbit" **** because oh dear, oh dear, she had the nerve to get upset about something.

The issue here is nothing to do with the fact she got upset it's because she did it over such a pathetic issue, that you can't deny.

Irrational pointless arguments in relationships really annoy me, never had one personally but I see it happen to my friends all the time and it just seems they're making their relationship harder for no reason.

A bit OT, but I think it's these stupid replies that make this forum so entertaining to read. It's not like threads ever degenerate into total abuse (that only happens in the graphics card section :D ), but having comedy interjections in between serious posts lightens things up. I doubt people ever get offended by them.
