Gifts for female friends

[ezily]

OK so I know this AFC who once a had thing for this girl and she for him. However, due to he being an AFC he was fz'd and she now has a boyfriend whom I sure she screws.

Anyway, he feels the need to buy her a gift (around $50) for her birthday. They're still friends but I don't really know how he feels about her. He says he doesn't have feelings for her but I don't buy it.

I told him getting her a gift is lame (not including remaining friends with girls who fz'd you) but he doesn't listen. He doesn't get gift for guys. I think he's putting too much emphasis on this girl. I mean $50!

What can I tell him? Do you guys think the same way I do?

Tell him to give you the $50 for the quality advice you just gave him. And ask him what she got him for his bday.

I wouldn't tell him anything.

He's not learning anything by you telling him not to do it, he has to go through it himself.

Advice is only heard when hindsite is 20/20.

:crackup: she pretty much told him to get her something. I think she gets him some p.o.s. gift just so he'll buy her something pretty nice.

And yeah, he has often told me I'm right on issues after the fact, relating to dealing with girls and such. So I guess he's just going to waste time and money on a girl who has no interest in him.

I seriously hope he still doesn't like her but I just don't see that being the case. I mean he bends over backwards for her all the time.

:crackup: I can literally guarantee that they aren't.

oh and fz'd is friend-zoned (i.e. getting put in the friend-zone).

$50??? His gift will probably be more expensive than her boyfriend's. Do something to stop your friend from making this mistake. Tell him to get her a card instead.

hey good point. I didn't think about what her bf got her. I should probably ask him when/if he finds out. That would be really interesting to hear. Plus it will hopefully make him think twice about doing **** like this in the future.

and sadly, he has already bought the gift. So I guess it sucks for him. Some people will never learn.

I want to tell him that even if he doesn't care about her and only likes her as a friend, that she is just using him. He's your typical emotional tampon guy. She's told him all sorts of crap about her life and her problems. She also uses him for help in school. He doesn't really see it though.

She never contacts him otherwise (to be fair he doesn't go out of his way to call her, but when she calls him they'll talk for a while). He's a smart guy too. Sad he's blind. Every time I mention something he insults me and says I'm ignorant. It makes me laugh.

That's a lot to spend on a friend's birthday present.

As someone else said, you probably should just stop trying to help, because he's obviously not listening. Sometimes you just need to let them make their own mistakes.
