Should I bring her a present?

[mecca411]

I'm heading to see my long-distance(2hrs away) gf of 4 months. She's in a dance show and bought me a ticket to come see her tomorrow night. I was wondering if I should bring her flowers or any kind of a present. I brought her flowers once before. It was back in October for her graduation. I also bought her a bracelet. Of course, for Christmas I bought her a few presents as well, but she did the same for me. I wondering if I should get her something for this time or will it be over-kill? Maybe it's not special if I bring her a present everytime I head to see her for a special event. Maybe it's enough that I'm heading up 2hrs to see her through snow and poor weather. what do you think? If you think I should bring her something, then what should it be? Thanks.

The only thing is that it starts at 8pm and goes til about 11pm. Where should I take her at that time?

Othello's idea is not bad.

Another approach is to tell her that since she bought the tickets then you 'owe' her a night out and proceed to set up the next date on your terms.

You should take her to a pub for a quiet drink and catch up. Flirt and reestablish a physical presence and desire with this woman. Chances are she will insist on you staying at her place rather than drive back to wherever you are from.

It is of good taste to bring flowers for a dance performance. I attend art school and if a dancer doesnt get flowers from her man... he's screwed lol
But really, it's very common and stuff to bring flowers for after a dance concert. A lot of times they even sell them there. Anyway, What you could do is make some reservations for dinner somewhere (but allow her sometime to get ready, remember she's going to be sweaty and gross..) Anyway, Make reservations for a couple hours after the performance, and go greet her with the flowers and tell her you made some reservations so you two can go out to dinner. I guess you 'd also want to mention to her not to make plans for after the dance concert - she'll probably beg you to tell her why, but just tell her she'll find out "soon enough"


-----better yet, make some hotel reservations if you two and close enough and spend the night at a nice hotel with some wonderful food delivered right to your room and probably some bed breakfast... but only if you two have been together forever or something lol

Your company is more valuable than a bunch of stinky flowers that will die in a couple of days.

Well said.

I couldn't have put it any better.

Four months is too early for all those presents (Christmas, birthdays, etc. are acceptable) but for this dance thing your presence should be enough.

Take her back to your place or her's for a couple of drinks, some nice music, and give her a really good extra special f*ck.

Trust me, she will value and enjoy that more than some flowers or candy or dinner.
