Help me to be sneaky!

I want to download a Spotify playlist on to my girlfriends phone. I will be leaving a message in her car for when she leaves for work tomorrow asking her to play my specially created list.

I would prefer her not to know I am doing one but how can I get her phone off her without looking like I just want to randomly go through it?

    Run her a bath this evening when she gets home from work...that should give you enough time to get her phone...


    Call it a pre valentines treat....

    Create a diversion! Could you run her a bath this evening to give yourself some time? Or would she take it with her usually?

    How long will it take? Is the playlist all set up and you just need to download it (not that I have any idea how long that takes lol).

    Ha - great minds think alike! :)
  • I need to download but will only be 3 or 4 songs for her journey to work on valentines day...and downloading doesn't take too long

    Oooh she is coming out for a meal with me tonight for my birthday so the chances are she will shower. I just don't want her to catch me with her phone because that could look terrible, we respect each others privacy - I am allowed on it but don't see why I need to be if you see what I mean.

    My other thought was to do it whilst she is sleeping but worried about the above. Turning over and seeing me on her phone in the middle of the night....hmm lol
  • No advice but just wanted to say what a sweet idea :)

    can't you do it the old fashioned way instead then? As in, burn a CD or make a mix tape that she can use in the car instead? That'd mean no issues surrounding thoughts of trust
  • She doesn't have a cd player, it's bluetooth connection from her iphone and radio only x
  • What a really really sweet idea. There needs to be more guys like you!!!
