Need Man Advice....men pls chime in.

I think we need more info on the BF before we can give you any good ideas.

Exactly...

What is he into? Sowallers can help you nail it if we know more. Until then, some thoughts-

Sports:
Does he have a fav team? Get him tickets to a game or a jersey (real one- not the cheap replica) with his name on the back.

Hobbies:
Does he grill? Get him a high end grill tool set or a branding iron with his initials. Does he cook? Take him to a cooking demo at Culinary Gallery or Kitchenique. Does he fish? Send him on a charter.

Music:
Does he have a fav band? Get him their box set or take him to a concert. Does he own an IPod? If not, get him one and make him a playlist.

Friends:
Does he have close friends who live far away. Buy them a ticket and fly them in as a surprise for him.

Dinner:
Take him to someplace intimate like Cafe Tango.

No matter what you decide- also get him some of his favorite beer...

Great ideas!!! ipod may be the ticket, he loves music and I don't think he has one. Still like Bob's idea as well of the photo album. We have been together 2 months, but spent almost a month apart when he went out of state after a death in the family and then I had the flu and wouldn't let him near me. I know of no other hobbies than music. All the man does is work, take care of his family and play with me.

He's a Marine. I have known him since high school, he played football and did it well. He has 3 boys that he raised with his mother. He is a grandfather and is devoted to his family. He has his own business and he works, works, works. He is a giver, not a taker and I don't want to overwhelm him with an expensive gift. We are still learning about each other. That's it, that is all I know.

Shallowsnole may know more about him than I do, maybe she will speak up.

Even if he doesn't fish being out on the boat is relaxing...he can't work while on the boat..;-) But you can never go wrong with a massage, especially for someone that works all the time. Canuck also love hand massages. The photo idea is good but maybe give it a little more time, maybe Christmas???Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Kitchenique is having Chef McAdoo from Seagar's preparing a meal of filet, strip and bone-in ribeye tomorrow night for about $50/person. Best steaks around and he might learn some new steak-cooking tips. http://www.kitchenique.com/shop/?ca..._criteria=&rec=10&searchCat=&gonext=Next+Page

Since his birthday is on the 29th, they have a sushi class on the 28th. Teach and show you how to prepare sushi and is hands-on.

I have taken a couple of dates to cooking demos/classes. They are very fun, especially the participatory ones.

Top that off with a top-shelf bottle of Maker's Mark gift set if he is a whiskey drinker.

(If he's not a whiskey drinker, you might like a slug of it if you take SWGB's last suggestion.)

Hmmmm.... two months is a nice stretch of time and you two should know each other fairly well by now. Massages are amazing, but I would assume they have already been going on? (I know that I love to give them and it would already be a weekly staple for me) Perhaps you could find out one of his unfulfilled fantasies and make it a reality for him? Give him a memory that will always be fondly remembered and associated with you!


Powertools, especially if your unfamiliar with what he has and likes to do, is a poor idea in my opinion...and kinda unpersonal.

Professional Massage

I'm betting they feel very young after that cruise.
