So, in light of this being the advice column now, or so it seems, I guess it's my turn now.

It's been a while and a couple thousand miles since I was last anywhere near the dating scene, so what do men like in regards to gifts?

Anyone who has nothing more constructive to suggest than a bedroom romp, kindly keep your comments to yourself. That

Comments

[virucide]

Mostly depends on the guy.

[fortebrezza]

Which is why I'm looking for a range of suggestions.

[virucide]

Then you'll certainly get a lot of answers.

I'd prefer some quality time and chocolate.

[fortebrezza]

That's actually kind of cute.

[lungrot]

how about a romp in the kitchen instead

[fortebrezza]

I think I'm all set, thank you. I try to limit the kitchen to cooking messes.

[lungrot]

your loss

[stradapanthera]

Not a fucking pet.

[fortebrezza]

Why would I get someone that? And the question was what to get, not what not to get.

I guess I know what I'd get for a guy like you.

[stradapanthera]

Fuck if I know. I'm just telling you to not get that shit for a guy. Dunno what the hell you would give someone.

And what the fuck is that?

[fortebrezza]

...a reading comprehension book.

[pink_sake]

Guys like gadgets, and trinkets, and most of them tend to collect /something/ they can't get enough of.

All else fails, alcohol is a very appropriate gift, something for their tastes. It's a gift that can be shared, it wont have to sit around forever, and it leaves a wide enough band of variation that it can be tailored for the recipient.

[fortebrezza]

Ah yes, you're the accomplished one. I think pandering to some sort of collection might have to wait, as I'd have to find out what first.

But hmm. Is wine a little too tacky, or out of style here?

[pink_sake]

Never!

What are you thinking? A white wine for celebration and friendship or a red wine for a deeper, richer connection at this moment?

[fortebrezza]

Ah, I'd never really thought that it might have such connotations. I'll have to ponder that one, I think, as I have more than one gentleman in mind...testing the waters, I suppose you could say, to see which one bites.

[amore_e_pace]

The company of a beautiful woman. <3

[fortebrezza]

Is that a roundabout attempt at flattery, sir? It really will get you nowhere, you know.

[amore_e_pace]

'Sir'~? Have you forgotten me already?

[fortebrezza]

Of course not.
