If you’re like me, a guy dating a girl, when things go particularly wrong, you may not be able to recover everything by yourself. It may be that you have to bring in some sort of back up plan. Something, or someone that can perform something you can’t. Let’s talk about some things that you can do, or pay to have done, to resolve problems you created. This list isn’t comprehensive, but I guarantee you that it has some things that have worked very well for some men like you in the past. Flowers If you’re a man, and you’re in a relationship with a woman, at some point you are going to have to send flowers. This isn’t an injustice, it’s just a reality. I’m not even in a relationship, and I still have to send flowers at least twice a year to my mother. Sometimes, I do wish that flowers weren’t such a high demand product.
However, whenever I get around to actually thinking about it, I am pretty thankful that they are. Think about how many situations that the choice to send flowers is the right choice — it’s almost infinite. If flower shops sold memberships, I’d totally buy one. Chocolate Chocolate is one of the staples of the gift marketplace. My mother is a big proponent of chocolate because it is edible, and she loves edible gifts. In fact, any time I give her something that isn’t chocolate, she always says, “This isn’t chocolate…” My only defense so far is, “Well, it is edible…” I actually say that regardless of whether or not I know the item to be edible. Flowers? Yea, those are edible. Digital picture frame? Yea, I heard a guy in China eats one of those every day. Singing There are a lot of people who don’t like public humiliation, but for those who do, getting a singing-anything for them may be the right route.
You could get a person in an Iron Man outfit to go sing them a Depeche Mode song or something. Just be careful that this kind of activity won’t cause any sort of extra friction for her at the work place. Also, if you are going to hire some lunatic to go sing to her at some random place, you should probably have them bearing gifts in some variety or another. A Gift I know, you’re probably thinking that all of these things are types of gifts. I completely agree with you, but let me finish my thought. If you have been listening to this special someone, you should have picked up on something that she maybe really wants or likes. This is the time to get her that big gift. Realistically, no one else may know what that gift is, but if you get this right, you can bet that you have a good chance of redeeming yourself. Just remember that you can’t skimp at this point.
If she wants some name brand item, DON’T get her the economy version of it. This is a fatal mistake that will stop all future progress faster than anyone will be able to discern. Remember, no gift is flawless. If you send flowers it could turn out that the girl is allergic to that variety. If you send chocolate it could turn out that the girl is allergic to that chocolate. Even worse, chocolate could turn out you just pushed that girl right off of her year-long diet. So, whatever you do, just remember that there is a chance that you will only screw it up even more. While that is unfortunate, that is just the lay of the land. Good luck!
