Is this creepy or sweet? (First date thread)

Hi OcUKers,

I met a girl on Christmas Eve and we hit it off straight away and have been texting/flirting right through Christmas.

She told me on Christmas day that her family don't give presents to adults so she didn't get a single thing to unwrap.

We're meeting for a drink tomorrow and I thought about getting something, really small, a chocolate orange or bath smellies (I know she likes baths) etc and wrapping it up; basically I think, everyone should have something for Christmas.

So there's the story, question's in the title; guys would you do this, girls would you think it's creepy or nice?

Thanks

I say go for it.

Although, take yourself as the gift, let her "unwrap" you.

Something small & inexpensive = sweet

a 50" plasma tv , bluray player and the top 10 pornos = creepy

seems safe enough to me, don't spend a fortune, id go for the novelty rather than the quality at that stage.

I think flowers might be a bit much at this stage.

don't buy her a chocolate orange.

As mentioned, buy her a chocolate orange.

Make sure she shares it though!

Can hope thats the line she was thinking... If not bit of a creepy moment...

Yea, get something small, she will smile

Just don't make it too big, or she may get scared!!

Flowers are indeed too much at this stage imo.

Why not?

@OP - go with your plan, sounds like a good idea.

JBuk · 28 Dec 2010 at 00:39

Raikiri has already suggested that with a picture.

A single flower (rose etc) might be a compromise.

I was just about to reply with the exact same picture

I agree, a small present will be a very nice gesture.
But the potential in-laws don't give a single present to unwrap?

Do you know why?
