    To be honest ... I think £100 is too much to spend ....as your relationship is not that serious I think she may be a little embarrassed.
    I agree. You also need to leave room for future upgrades of present-giving. Does your mobility impede your shopping? The right present involves some idea and then some looking around, prepared to change mind. And the thought does count.
    Rummaging in her things is out. Clothing is difficult for a bloke, then there are questions sizes etc. Jewelery etc. OK - as long as it's not saying you have to wear this for me, as you are not at that point. I just had an idea - go round antique markets or shops, then you could likely find something nice which is 'different' and romantic.
    Sorry my posts so long - not time write shorter ones.

    I can shop fine.

    I will have to have a better look, antique is probably good.

    I like her just as someone to chill with and to have fun with.
    It is not practical to have a full courtship anyway with uni work and my family and us not living like next door to one another.

    indeed!

    I see other people together at uni and they are in puppy dog love with each other and they spend almost 24/7 together. What we have is fun and laughing, and just a good time. I like her because she is fun and not because I am madly in love with her.

    Be careful who you open up to. Today it's ears, tomorrow it's mouth.

    I dont often admit I am wrong, but I was in this case, I went jumping with both feet thinking it would be love because we have something shared and we have a bond because of that, but not really love.

    I admit my assumption was wrong, I have always thought that only Girls with CP can love me as they will not judge me as unworthy. I see now that to have love is much more complex!
