I have a crush on a friend of my close friend. Should I get my crush a Valentine's day present? What do you suggest?

[gayesblog]

I need your opinion Gaggers... Should I get my crush Valentine's day present? Do you think that would mean anything to him?

[PrettyPriya]

Absolutely you can. The question is more of what and not "if". I think because it is a crush, it needs to be something simple. You do not want to go overboard and overwhelm him. You have to think, what if he doesn't feel the same way.

Now, if you have a good idea that the feeling is mutual, that is another story. Still, better to play it safe and not overwhelm with an expensive or over the top gift. This might also be the perfect time to rope that gift in with a first date or meetup.

Maybe set up a special lunch. I am guessing you know what he likes. Taking him to lunch is the perfect causal date and gives you a chance to feel out if he has some feelings for you. It gives some great one on one time and is a simple gift (meaning you could treat).

If you want something tangible, I would start with his likes and try to tie the gift to something you know he is into. I really do think the key here is to make it simple and not lovey dovey. It is always the thought that counts more than the gift, anyhow.

[Ms_Facesitter]

Yes you should! Will it mean anything? I'm sure he'll be happy with it. But it would be easier if you've already talked to eachother. If you know him a bit you could give him something he likes. Valentine's is about flowers and chocolate, stereotypically. If he loves chocolate, go get some :)

But I heard that guys rarely get compliment and will definitely remember those comments, so a gift? He'll definitely appreciate it. Maybe you could attach a little letter or message to the gift :)

If close friend is an intimate relationship then no, unless, Valentine's Day is rip a heart out day 💔.
If close friend is not working “both sides of fence” then by all means a thoughtful remembrance is sweet as long as there are two of them for both “Contestants” 😎

@Guy13 my are we being negative today. I think you need to get laid.

[Guy13]

@Akam93 It has been since Monday. Hump Day, right?

[Akam93]

@Guy13 yes it is

[Guy13]

@Akam93 Since we are in February and everyone has the fever and it is Hump Day then I can probably get a house call...

[Akam93]

@Guy13 you do that then. Have fun.

[Guy13]

@Akam93 Alright, I will try.

[Akam93]

@Guy13 I desire to get laid everyday but its impossible. :/ so be lucky.

Why not organize a small, improptu Valentine's Day gathering for singles at your house and invite him? It gives you an opportunity to talk to him without being too obvious and you can get a gauge on his feelings for you.

[DaveJord]

If you have a crush then you should just start flirting and talking to him more... no just do not drop a present on him because its Valentine's day. Your 26, you're not in highschool anymore. 26-year-olds do not talk about crushes like they are still in school, they act like grownups and approach potential relationship as mature adults.

Approach the man and express a real interest in him, buying him some random gift says nothing about him or you.

[WonderBell99]

Does he know that you have a crush on him? If not, I feel like you would be putting too much pressure on him. Why don't you try hinting that you have feelings for him? If you are bold enough, ask him out. Not on Valentine's Day, obviously, because if he does not feel the same way, he *might* be too polite to be honest.

It's better to gift someone a Valentine's day present when they're your SO.

[WonderBell99]

That is just my point of view. However, if you would like to gift him something, keep it simple. If it is too romantic like a love letter or something expensive, he might get uncomfortable.

[roryglimore]

Do that!! But you should be confident about it. And if he rejects it or didn't treat it well, act like you don't care and so the HE will start having feeling for u;) or if he just didn't go along with the plan, it's okay. You didn't lose your life or anything.

[OfMiceandMen]

If you're just trying to make the initial connection, I would just go for a card. Not one from the store though. Get some blank stock with envelopes and make one yourself. Say what you want to say in the card. If you can't draw, cut out some hearts. Maybe tape a Hershey Kiss to it. I think your crush will like that you gave him something from the heart.

[SpaceGalaxy]

A pair of your used panties

A new lingerie (waiting to be worn for him)

A small picture holder with your picture already in it

A "heart-shaped" container in Red with your initials and his initials next to each other

[Alwayreckles93]

Get your crush a Valentine's present you got nothing to loose. This can go both ways either your crush will date you or reject you. I say get the present let's find out.

[Emiliamazing]

Does your crush know you have this attraction? If not, you might want to start off with an arranged double date, to get to know each other and find chemistry.

[Anonymous]

Show up at his house dressed like this. Bring a 6 pack of good beer, or a good bottle of wine and simply say: " I'm your Valentine's Day present - accept or decline". That will work out your crush issues once and for all.

[bean2k21]

You have to be direct with Master -- buy him a pack of these S & M's.

[melanieeeB]

You can if you want to, I personally wouldn't and would first of all just talk to him and ask to meet

[Razp_Sorbet]

No you shouldn't get anyone valentines day gifts unless you have agreed with said person about the giving of gifts

[jshm2]

Don't be daft. Never date the friend of a friend. Shit rarely works out.

[MissHope]

A box of chocolate! Classic but it usually work in such situations.

[Blackcupcake]

yes! yolo, so it’s better that you do it and not regret it later = )

[FitMom]

I think it is okay to get him something simple and just see his reaction maybe it will be the start of something

[Twalli]

It depends on the present. It won't be extremely weird because they're your friend, although he'd probably question the timing.

[villainfantasy]

Call him. Tell him that you are going to bring a gift and he should bring one too.

[Zayed_]

Have you ever thought about how your close friend would feel about this?

[SnoopBean9110]

@gayesblog i will say if he has a girlfriend no. But if not, GO FOR IT. He might like it!

[gorydetails]

No, you should not. Make a move to turn that crush into a boyfriend, instead.
