Oh man, sometimes I hate being psychic. :D
But, you're probably better off finding out now that she's super-high-maintenance.
I'm exactly the opposite, it would bother me to know a guy was spending seventy bucks on cut flowers at the florist, when perfectly adequate ones are available for $10 or $15 up on 86th St. I'd rather a guy dropped seventy bucks in a restaurant than in a florist, personally.
Anyway, if you're ever considering jewelry for a future girlfriend, you could do worse than consult some of us Freeper ladies. We can help.
I'm right there with ya! Of course, now that I'm married, I prefer the $10-$15 flowers, because it's the thought that counts and I'd rather spend the money on less frivolous things (or on frivolous things for HIM or our daughter instead.) Courtship is a little different though.
Before we were married, my husband used to send me huge, gorgeous bouquets of roses, just because it was Tuesday, and just so I could be the envy of all the girls at the office (not that I wanted anyone to envy me EVER.) That's all changed, and that's the way we both like it. First of all, now he's got me where he wants me, so no need to impress me quite so much anymore. (I'm already impressed.) I still get the occasional pretty bouquet, always with the assurance that he didn't spend too much on it, which is fine with me, because these days, I'd rather he spend that money on guns than roses.
