update with a twist: d boxers-brief were appropriate but the watch wasn't, it was like too much for a gift.

I accidentally voted wrong even though I read your update before voting. lol It's a completely appropriate gift - there's nothing wrong with getting him something practical like underwear, especially since you got other practical items as well. He might just need to talk to you about getting an incorrect size, or maybe he would prefer a different style or something. It most likely isn't a big deal, especially since he specifically said not to worry about it.

[Asker]

ok, good point, I didn't think of that.

[jadejess]

That's the biggest thing with clothing - it's hard to get the correct size or style without actually asking the person. :)

[Asker]

ok. it cud be dat.

I think it depends on where you are physically in your relationship. If you have gotten to a point where you see each others' underwear, I don't think giving underwear as a gift is inappropriate. If you haven't gotten to that point, it might be a little presumptuous or premature. But he says not to worry, so don't! No matter what, you meant well. I voted "No".

[Asker]

ok. well we have seen each others underwear. I know he says not to worry but I can't help it.

[saphirasilverwings]

I voted "No" meaning it was not inappropriate... should I have voted "Yes" for it is appropriate? Sorry got confused.

[Asker]

i think everybody got confused with that. because most people say no but comment that its appropriate

[madiocre]

depends on the occasion. like maybe he thought you spent too much and he is getting you a gift that isn't as big? Maybe he opened it up in front of family and felt awkward and just wants to say give warning next time... who knows? I'm pretty curious now though can you post aftterwards what it was about?

[Asker]

oh I told him to open it by himself. and ok.

[sovetskii13]

It might send him a message that you want him in bed. If that is what you want to do, then it's a great gift.

[Asker]

well yes, I already have him in bed

[ncsquirll99]

LOL @ the update. well that sounds more reasonable though.

[Asker]

lol, ok.

[sunmonster]

No that's not a weird gift.

Maybe he wants to thank you?

[Asker]

hmm. he could have thank me in the text he sent

[sunmonster]

Maybe he wants to in person? :D

[Asker]

that would be good, but I doubt it.

[jadejess]

Oh, well hey, that's good and completely understandable. Glad it wasn't anything that would really be a problem!

Not as much inappropiate as just weird. I have never recieved a gift from a girl (except my mom) that gave me boxers.

[Asker]

weird in a bad way?

[Opinion Owner]

Its not bad, but kindof unexpected for say. Don't worry about it, if I recieved boxers from a girl, it would be strange at first because I was probably expecting something more, but I would accept it and say thanks to try to prevent hurting her feelings. :)

[Asker]

oh I gave him a shirt and a watch as well but its only the underwear piece I was concened about

[Opinion Owner]

Ahhh, its alright, don't worry about it! Also, I wanted to know if he bought you some sexy panties, how would you take it, as a joke, as a favor...

[Asker]

i wouldn't take it anyway, I would wear it for him. he hasn't bought me any though.

[ncsquirll99]

nah.. he is probably just a boxer guy or something.. if it is about the gift he is too petty - I think it is a GREAT gift btw.

[ncsquirll99]

i voted "yes" But I meant to vote no.. you have two different ways of wording the question. I Think it is appropriate . BUT I agree with someone below that I kinda would have hoped for more.

[Asker]

oh I gave him a shirt and a watch as well but its only the underwear piece I was concened about

[taster]

idk...not an exciting gift but I certainly see nothing wrong with it...

[Ugliness]

Sends the wrong message, like, you want him to cover up.

[Asker]

how does that send that message? I don't get it?

[Ugliness]

You're saying put some underwear on.

That's kind of self-defeating.

[CarelessWhisper]

maybe he wants to model them for you

[Asker]

i doubt it. his we need to talk sounded more serious

[CarelessWhisper]

how do you sound serious in a text?

[Asker]

d words d person use, you know what I mean. besides we need to talk is always a serious tone.

[CarelessWhisper]

don't think you have to worry

[Asker]

ok.
