I told him I wanted a DVD player, and he did all the research of the best prices for me and set it up. It doesn't work quite right, though. I'm going to exchange it this weekend.

I hope there are more hockey games to come. I think we'll be driving to South Bend a couple times in the New Year.

hmmm...4 months dating could be a long time or a short time, depending. if you guys are pretty intense, you could plan a weekend away for the two of you...at a B&B or whatever. if he's the type that likes surprises, and leaving planning to others, that is! or, most guys i know don't buy clothes for themselves...they seem to acquire stray articles of clothes from homeless people or something, if they don't have a girlfriend/wife to shop for them. LOL! but you know what i mean. you could always find out his favorite kind of underwear/shirts/sweaters from his favorite store, and get him that.

I have to agree with ynami-squared on that one.

Stick to "guy" gifts.. an exgirlfriend got me a kick butt aquarium set-up once. I was stoked.

no way! well, some of you do, i guess. i get Tarpy the best clothes ever, he loves it! if it wasn't for me, he would have 2 pairs of ratty underwear and a sweater he got for Christmas in high school. LOL! i jest...slightly.

hmmm, Lyra.... ok, not to be mean or anything Lyra... but a man who takes little interest in clothing is suddenly stoked to get anew sweater for Christmas??? ;o) - on the positive side it shows that he really loves you as he doesn't say anything.

Hey -- Is this the "Dating Sux" thread or the "Raindrops on Roses and Whiskers on Kittens" thread?

False advertising!!

it's not that i think he might have no interest in clothes...more like he'd rather spend his time and money on things other than clothes shopping! bastards!

Don't say anything to him, talk to her and say this:

I'm tired of your brother's crap. I love you but I can't take his mind games anymore. He has gone so far as to accuse you of sleeping around. Either tell him to back off, or I can't be in this relationship anymore.

Then leave it up to her.

That sucks, simer. Have you considered sitting down and having a long talk with the g/f about the situation? It's pretty obvious he's trying his hardest to drive a wedge between you two. Your anger is justified, but if you express it to your girfriend, try to keep it in check and do it constructively. Not an easy thing to do, but you have to keep in mind that he's her brother, and she loves him. Good luck.

He doesn't like me, he doesn't know me, he doesn't want to get to know me, he doesn't want to lose his sister to someone he doesn't know, he hates me...

i'll talk to her tonight.. this all is just so frustrating

ME? A hottie and a tease? woohoo, how come none of you silly boys live in Maine? LMAO...

dhutch, either I was mistaken or she realized she was being foolish and let it go. She didn't look happy when I first got there, but I chatted and laughed like my usual pea brain self and we had a good time. At any rate, I won't be holding my breath for a new fishing buddy!

Dhutch, my sis and I went shopping yesterday. I tried on 2 little black dresses, a brown and cream print one, and some black slacks and a top. One of the little black dresses actually made me, of all people, look fat!!! My sis and I were laughing our arses off and decided we had to tell everyone that it is possible for me to look fat. So, no luck thus far. Maybe I should just wear the angora sweater, my super low Levi's, and some high heeled boots. I already own all that, but I'm not sure about jeans.

Newgirl as long as those Super low jeans are not ankle low I'm sure you will look fine :-)

Newgirl,
How about a pair of those jeans like Cher wore on the Navy Ship!!!
snafu29

I'd do the skirt instead of jeans unless everyone is wearing jeans. If they are I'd go with the winter white or beige slacks. very classy.

lol about the dress. Some clothes should just never be made!

I hope dating doesn't Suck!
I got me a hottie coming over tonight! She is cooking me a nice dinner and delivering it to me!
What more could a man ask for!
She is 32, divorced, no kids -yet, very pretty, Blonde Blue eyes, 5'3" 115lbs. Doesn't smoke, sez she loves the outdors and is very willing to try hiking. Loves animals is middle of the road on politics. If I knew how to post a pix I will when I get home.
.....
Boy I'm Nervous, first time on a first date in 4 years!

Good luck Snafu29!

Dating sure does suck. Last week he cooked Thanksgiving dinner and even did the dishes, but now he won't call me because I left an "I'm annoyed with you message on his voice mail."

He won't hike with me, but he bought a new bed because I told him his bed was too hard (so I guess he doesn't care about anything but bedroom activites). He works all the time and doesn't have any hobbies. He wants to buy me sexy lingerie for xmas, when I really want more backpacking gear. He tells me I need to lose some weight. The list goes on and on......

Wingding, sounds like you have a laundry list of complaints. Not sure why you're bothering with an "I'm annoyed" phone call. Plus, that doesn't help any situation.

Snafu, only you can answer the question of whether you're jumping the gun. ARe you just going out to have a nice dinner, or are you going out to find a new relationship??

(Don't listen to me though, I have had my own problems making relationships work!!!)
