My girlfriend and I have our six month anniversary coming up next week and I really have no idea what to get her. She's not a big jewelry girl even though she works at a jewelry store. I'm planning a big date and hope to give it to her sometime that evening. I know a couple of things that she needs, but they aren't exactly "romantic." Maybe I'm falling into a cliche here and I shouldn't, so if that's the case, let me know! Thanks in advance.



P.S. In before FHUTA! :D
 
a 6-month anniversary isnt possible. an anniversary is every year.

that being said, crotchless panties

but seriously, a moonlit walk on the beach.

I'll be watching
 
For a guy with a Cubs avatar, you seem awfully optimistic about your mental state next week.
 
Give her a nice
rim job
& maybe in return she'll hook you up w/ a
rusty trombone
. You could only get so lucky. Either way, best wishes.

Damn shits gonna be stuck in my head for the next hour.

Maybe end it with giving a strawberry shortcake, or even better an abe lincoln.

Oh, and if you miss a Cubs game for this, you are not a man.
 
dude.

wtf is a "strawberry shortcake"...or an "abe lincoln"? :-x

As for 6-month anniversary gifts, cheap and romantic is good. I gave my girlfriend a bag with a teddy bear, and 180 hershey kisses taped to 180 red and pink little construction paper hearts (I put a random fact on each one about things we've done/said in the 6 months we've been dating). It took like 30 minutes to do and wasn't lavish or anything, but she really appreciated the effort. Then we just went out to dinner or something. Very simple. Good stuff.
 
6 roses in 6 different colors

write a card about what each of the 6 colors mean and how your relationship progressed through each of those meanings over the last 6 months

simple, cheap, and most girls love shit like that

or a postcard from a brewery festival that says "Maybe it's the beer talking [name], but you've got a butt that won't quit. They've got these big chewy pretzels... (gibberish) 5 dollars? Get outta here..."
 
6 month anniversary? I would give her some cock, that is about it.

I have never heard of such foolishness. Don't do it. Reeks of desperation.
 
how about a
dick
in a
box
?

but seriously... listen to this man. that is some good advice right there, girls love this kind of stuff.
 
Don't do a damn thing to commemorate the occasion.

Setting aside the fact that celebrating an "anniversary" every 6 months is completely retarded, you will be setting a really terrible precedent if you intend to be with this girl for a long time. If you want to impress a girl, every once in while you go do something nice for no particular reason. Celebrating a 6 month anniversary is something a 15 year old girl does.

whatever dude. doing small shit like that pays off in spades.

let guys like wraith here rail on you all they want. you won't give a shit when she's on your knob like a hobo on a ham sandwich.

Wait, what? 180 facts? You have an impressive memory...

Not necessarily 180 facts, but little random things like a joke she made once, or a place we went once, or something that has nothing to do with anything, but she'd find it funny...or even little doodles and such.

I figured she'd enjoy looking at each one and seeing what was new behind it. Took 10 minutes on the subway to do. Worked brilliantly. :lol

Not only that, but he did the whole thing in a half hour. Just writing out 180 facts in that time is impressive enough. That's 1 fact every 20 seconds. But he had to cut out hearts and tape everything to Kisses as well. That is ridiculously fast.

TEN MINUTES?

What did she do for you?
 
fuck what these fools say. Eat her butt. Bitches love it when you eat there butt.

How the hell do you think I got married? :lol :lol :lol

Also if you don't believe me, ask PhoenixDark. He knows the real on this.

ok, i'm done off to class. :lol

that's actually really awesome. for someone like me who loves cute stuff and chocolate, that would be hard to beat!

It took me more time to tape the kisses to the paper hearts.
But yeah, 10 mins or so to write out random things on hearts that are roughly 2 inches across...not implausible at all. It's not like I was writing stories or something.

What'd she do for me?
Nothing. Nothing G-rated, anyway. :lol

I didn't do it to get anything back, nor did I do it to explicitly be like "happy 6-month anniversary". She wasn't expecting anything, but I thought it'd be nice to do something like this, and it happened to be around 6 months we'd been dating. So I did it. Worked flawlessly. Cost me nothing but 2 bags of hershey kisses, a pack of construction paper and the ink in my pen. I bought the teddy bear in the same place I got the kisses from, too.
 
There's a romantic inside of all of us, you just have to listen to it, and ignore douches like Wraith.

It's not about trying to "win" anything through romanticism, you should enjoy being romantic as she enjoys you being romantic with her, and vice versa. You do it for the smile on her face.
 
Thanks for the input everyone! Two reasons I'm making a sort-of big deal about this is are:

1. This is the first time either of us have reached this milestone in a relationship.

2. She's been counting the months since day one, so I figured I needed to do something for the initial half-year.

Trust, this is not going to be an every 6 months thing and yes, I've been good in doing and buying random nice things for her. I think I've finally got some solid ideas flowing through my head and you guys have helped me put this whole thing into perspective. Thank you!

Don't worry, this won't be falling on any potential Cubs game. I'll be able to watch their entire NLCS and World Series run. :D

PS - I was thinking of something more along the lines of a "Cold Mike" or the "Angry Dolphin." Keep 'em coming though, fellas!:lol

What you described is the kind of thing that a girl will remember for a lifetime. It's insanely sweet. I think wasting that kind of gesture at 6 months is foolish, especially since it's going to be very difficult to top it as you hit 1 year and 2 year marks.

I'm not saying the idea itself is bad. If this were his wife or his girlfriend of 4 years, this would be an incredible gesture. It just seems premature at 6 months, though.

i can see your point. it could be hard if you have trouble coming up with ideas. i guess i just came up with stuff like that easily in the past.

for our 1 year i made a list of 365 things i loved about her. only took like an hour and she still talks about it years later.

but holy shit did i hear about it. i remember my friends were absolutely fucking ruthless when they found out. :lol (all single, of course). i just had to explain to them that as cheesy as that shit seems to them, the effort put into stuff like that pays for itself many many many times over.

And THIS should be your tag. Classy!


My 2 cents from a womens perspective:

Be origional. Flowers and chocolate are...nice, but they are really cliche.

Actually showing you've paid attention to her and enjoyed getting to know her the past 6 months, and finding a way to creativly do it...is quite a memory for her to keep. Just keep it simple, and you'll enjoy the smile it brings to her face :)

Edit: And give her a good memorable fuck too.
