Question Posted Thursday November 18 2004, 11:13 pm
I'm one of the very <i>few</i> people that are blessed with a hard to buy for boyfriend. I'm sure you've already guessed what my question is. What the heck do I buy for him for Christmas? I've spent countless hours pondering over the subject. This past week we went shopping. We were at Sam Goody when he found these extremely rare Linkin Park cd's. He and I are both very big fans of Linkin Park. Anyway, he didn't have quite enough money to buy them. So, I offered to buy them for Christmas. He refused. He has Linkin Park shirts, Linkin Park hoodies, shoes, almost every Linkin Park cd imaginable. He likes NCSU (Y'all from North Carolina know who) and the Carolina Hurricanes. He's an outdoorsy type person (he canoes, hikes, plays sports) as am I. Everything I've asked him about he either already has or refuses to let me buy it. So, what the heck am I supposed to do? Any ideas/suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

Or something sweet and an inside joke kind of thing. And whatever you buy don't ask him bc he won't say ok until it's down to a card. [ lyDia_LoU's advice column | Ask lyDia_LoU A Question ]

I'm not sure what your guy is into... but most of my friends are guys. I've bought clothes, CDs, DVDs, posters, concert tickets, computer games, etc etc for them before. Anything he needs or wants in his sports interests? I know its so hard to buy for guys.. me and my friends are super open and just tell each other what we want. Here's an idea- maybe if he won't let you buy the CD's you can buy him a voucher so he can do it himself? Hm.. that's a little impersonal for a boyfriend though isn't it? Wow... this is tough! Maybe take him somewhere, do something nice for him, surprise him with a night in. Or ask him! Sorry I can't be of more help... Good luck! [ endilwen's advice column | Ask endilwen A Question ]

The only reason your boyfriend is refusing is because he doesn't want you to spend all of your money on him..HE wants to take care of YOU..and by you buying him even a christmas present, it makes him feel as if YOU'RE taking care of HIM,and some guys hate that feeling. My boyfriend is the same way. so, get him the linkin park CD's ....chances are he really wants them.
good luck !! get back to me and lemme know how it goes
