The First Date Gift

Alright, I may seem out of tune with reality but guys, can you think of a worse bargaining chip than the “First Date Gift”?

I think that the first date gift was originally given to the head of the household, as a partial payment towards the girl’s family, for her hand in marriage. Maybe that’s just me…

So, should you bring with you a first date gift to the woman you are having that first date with?

I would say no.

If you need to start the evening off on a good footing, then wear clean clothes, maybe even shower and shave beforehand. But do you need to bring the first date bribe, I mean gift?

No.

But many guys still fall back on the need to give a gift, and that’s fine, that’s you.
But think of this:
What of she doesn’t like the gift you give her, will this ruin your first date? Sure it will.
Is the gift a fitting gift? Will she like the candy? Is she allergic to pollen on the flowers?

I think that if you need to give a gift, avoid the gift giving BEFORE the date and send her something the next morning. Call up the flower company, call up the candy store that delivers… and send her something along with a question about the date and time for the second date.
