Personal Preference.

So a friend of mine recently asked me this "How would you or girls in general feel if a guy friend bought them something they've always wanted out of the blue?"
I told him that i'd be thankful and surprised. But I would only accept such a generous gesture depending on the gift or relationship I had with that person. And just to set things straight, I don't mean it in a "bitch please, I'm too good for you kind of way" but because you don't want them to give them any false impressions.
As the conversation progressed further, he told me that he was contemplating whether or not to buy her a Chanel shoulder bag. Surprise turned into complete and utter shock. THIS GUY WAS GOING TO BUY A GIRL A CHANEL BAG BECAUSE HE LOVED HER? wow. Good way to get in her knickers  express your feelings for her. More talking later, he finally tells me that it's gonna be a group present (he ain't made of $$). On a more serious note, he said he loved her. Not joking. I don't know the girl personally, but in my opinion I would rather receive something from the <3 than material goods. Despite how much I adore and extremely want one. Those should be given further down the track. #loveguru
