I'm sure you do have some class, Mack!!! Why else would a decent gal be with you? You can't fool me! But...that is spendy for a pocketbook...but girls don't like WalMart bags as gifts...trust me. You don't have to go with pocketbook...I thought maybe day planner or agenda or something...I assume shes planning to stay at school for awhile...but...ok....you don't HAVE to go with Coach!! LOL. You know you have to tell us now what you DO get her!!!!

The issue here is...Brandon...do you know what the college BOYS are like??? And college parties??? These guy are from all over and they are smart and funny and they want that free "milk" too! You have to remain in the forefront of her mind so that when they get all up in her grill on the daily, she can honk for them to get out of the way... Oh hell...what am I saying...most girls will chose the "bad" boy over the "suit" anyday of the week!!!! You're probably safe!!

Sorry dude, but you're thinking about it all wrong. It doesn't matter if the object itself isn't worth what you're paying for it. What matters is how that object makes your GF feel. That is where the value lies. And I don't believe for one second that she wouldn't love to get a dozen red roses delivered to her. Even if she's not a "flower" girl, the sheer act of having roses delivered to her is worth its weight in gold, especially if her friends see it happen.

I was watching Family Feud today, and for the 20 grand, one of the questions was "name something women LOVE to receive." The number one answer was FLOWERS.
Now.... that being said, a flower is just a flower unless it is delivered in full view of the envious masses. Did I hear someone say she was in college? The trick is to have them delivered in front of as many of her friends and enemies as possible, and with the greatest "flair" one can think of. If you should choose a setting of a lecture hall, it would be good to have the involvement or at least the acquiescence of the lecturer. After that, the trick is to make sure the "florist" does not send some 18 yr old jerk in a t-shirt with unkempt hair to deliver them. Pay a little extra to have them delivered by a well groomed young man in a tuxedo! Like it or not, YOUR reputation will be tied to the one who delivers them. It is not necessary to actually HAVE "class" as long as you show your woman that you know what "class" IS! Workplace or classroom is the ONLY place to send flowers. She will be required to sit there for the duration and enjoy the accolades. She will not have to feel guilty for needing and wanting them, as it is out of her control. NEVER send flowers to a private residence, as NO ONE will know about it but HER! Unless.... of course..... you want to impress on her the fact that SHE is the only one you are trying to impress! And for her to understand the subtle difference, SHE must have "class." Good luck young Padawan Mackman. If you fail this test, you will not have to worry about when the free milk runs out. You won't BE there.

OK..........I don't know if I will be able to complete this thought, so please bear with me..
Ok................here it goes.............. I agree with The Rev.........and Golfhobo! The only thing that I would change is the classroom idea. Public place (dorm, etc) yes. A classroom might be a bit much.

Mackman the only reason I even thought of that was 10 years ago I had a chance to date someone and I did not even though I should of. Right now I could be the VP of a trucking company if I had TAKEN THE CHANCE.
