I’m intrigued when guys I know shower women with gifts. These aren’t long-time girlfriends they’re buying an anniversary present for, these are ladies they’ve gone out on one or two dates with. They probably don’t even know her last name, or how likely she is to agree to a third date, but they’ll send expensive [...]
