I'm talking about boombox outside the window in the rain kind of stuff. Heart to heart, man to woman, expressions of sincere emotion in the midst of granduer and cheesy background music.

Just finished watching Say Anything for the first time
Also spinoff from the guy who got help from the LSU grounds crew when he asked ole girl to get hitched

Closest thing I did was leave a jar of hot peppers in a box of rose petals on the desk of a girl I worked with, because she mentioned she loved both, at different times.

She visited my cubicle that morning and kissed me. Those were a few good months that followed...

In Junior High I bought my girlfriend I just broke it off with a dozen roses and a Pink Ice necklace (only the finest) on Valentine's Day. She tried to give that sh!t back. I was crushed brah.

Then after college I bought my girlfriend some Shox and an LSU stethoscope (she was doing her final year in clinical rotation at LSU Vet School) along with some flowers and other sh!t. We broke it off shortly after.

Based on these two experiences I learned that grand gestures are a drain on the pocketbook and a bit of a crapshoot when you're single or merely dating.

My wife got a couple of pieces of jewelry the first two Christmases we were dating but the only thing she still wears I've bought her out of all that is a Citizen Eco Drive watch and her engagement/wedding ring.

Just get flowers. Buy a card. Write something you mean on it. Take her on a vacation or something.

Grand gestures are crap.

Who's ever done a Grand gesture?

Used to do that cheesy shite all the time, before I knew better.

It's a no win situation. Either your gesture won't meet her expectations or it'll be so good that it's sets an unrealistic standard. Then comes "why don't you do _____ anymore?"
