"What are you getting me for Christmas?"
Last week, a few coworkers and myself were talking Christmas present shopping. Suddenly, A turns to me and asks "What are you getting me for Christmas this year?".. It caught me completely off guard, so I replied "What would you like?""Oh, nothing like super fancy... A pizza, some candy.. Things like that."
I have recently bought a huge bag of gingerbread cookies, that I was gonna enjoy during the weekend, so I acted fast. I told her "I'll bring you your gift on Monday- Unwrapped, though".
So today, I brought her the gingerbread cookies. I wasn't sure if she was a fan of them, but I just decided to go for it, and present them to her.
When I did, her eyes lid up and she went "Yaay! I LOVE these!", so you could say, that I scored points there! Now I am just hoping she's not gonna eat them all at once. She probably will, though.

You told her that you would give her the gift on a certain day.
You met on that day and lit up her eyes with that gift and.....
.... she gave you nothing ?
If I had the gall to ask a gal for a XMas gift and she told me she would
give it to me on a certain day, I sure would have a gift in my pocket
for her, in case she did give me a gift that day.
I hope it works out for you.
But be careful you are not beginning another using relationship.
Seriously, I don't understand your answer to me. I think Track & I both don't want to see you used (again). H is right to point out that it's only cookies. But I advise you not to create another pattern of giving without it being a mutual situation. Users pick up on those who they can use, and perpetuate the pattern to their benefit.
If she asks you for something else that you have to buy, act surprised and state that you are still waiting for your XMas gift from her, Afterall friendship is a 2 way street, or it isn't really friendship.
we both love adventures...somewhere we both dream to be
Jim - Your original reply to me, suggested that A and I met up somewhere after work, so I just wanted to clarify it all :)
Loh - Indeed. I just wanted to do something Nice, and it's blown up into "she's using you. Beware". She's not using me
