No matter how unreadable your man is, a gift always bears the mark of its giver. Seeing through your sweetheart is a wish that we are about to make come true! Hereās what your gift says about your man this Valentineās Day.
The same gift every yearĀ
Unless you like something so dearly you want to get it every year, ārinse and repeatā is not a good sign. Beware that your partner is heading into that ugly and mundane zone we call āBoredom.ā So spice things up a little, itās never too late.
The overpriced giftĀ
This kind is a bit of a mixed bag. He either wants to wow you, because usually an expensive gift is a sign of commitment, so in that case be my guest. Or he is boosting his ego by showing off his fat pocket. In that case, run to the door!
The gift you hate
Unless you really are impossible to please, there is no excuse for your significant other to get you something you donāt like. Heās supposed to know you better than you know yourself, so itās either he wants to piss you off, or he doesnāt know you that well after all. In this case, your relationship needs work or else it will head South.
The lovey-dovey gift
Romantic presents are like double-edged swords; the man might be intending to dazzle but in fact he just spooks you. If he showers you with presents, that screams insecurity, and if he gets you those big red hearts with your name all over themā¦ Hello? Who wants to be with a sappy partner?
The gift actually for him
Unless youāre a soccer fan, why would your gift be tickets for a football match? Or why would you end up with a Playstation if youāre not a gamer? Sorrowfully let me tell you, if youāre with this type, youāve drawn the short straw. What makes his self-centered and thoughtless present even worse is that he doesnāt even realize why the gift is so bad.
The weird but creative gift
This type tries to find a way to show that he cares, and he does it in an off-the-wall way, like buying you some painless piercings, roller skates, or even a Pac-Man Color Changing Ghost Lamp. His presents are risky gambles, sometime you will yay, sometimes you will nay, but itās the thought that counts, so give the guy some credit.
The perfect gift
A gift doesnāt have to be expensive, or even romantic, to be perfect. Itās just got to be right. When your significant other gets you that one gift that will make you jump around like a six-year old and throw yourself in his arms, thatās when you know youāve got it right. The perfect gift is the one that should win you over. There are no catalogues for it, you will just know. We all want that man, and he is a keeper.
To give them their due, some men are just bad at giving gifts, but that doesnāt always make them bad partners. Life is a bone of contention, we donāt always get what we want.
