Girls! Would You Collect A Gift From A Man You Dont Like For A Relationship?

This is for ladies.

I want to know

Would you collect a gift from a guy you don't like for a relationship?
If you do, what could be your motive? to encourage him or just slap his face and reject his proposal?

Just curious.

so you mean to say once a man gives a girl a gift, he wants a relationship?

how about a girl giving a guy a gift? is that a relationship-intro too?

please explain

@deb

Ehn, im on the same line with you,

but will her "accepting the gift" be the signal that "she has finally said yes"?

Gift ko, present ni!
When you asking a girl out, keep your gifts to your pocket, guys, they are not worth wasting until you are dead sure she's in!

I rarely do give gifts (material i mean) and when i do it's usually at least 2-3 weeks after we've started dating. There's so little to waste especially on someone who won't be worth it at the end of the day.
Call me selfish, it's only being protective, no point casting your pearls before swine.

Gifts don't make the girl like you more ( a girl who needs gifts to decide to date you is someone to run away from if you are interested in a REAL long term commitment), the really serious, upright girls won't accept your gifts (those are the ones to die for, they have a sense of right and wrong and can be dependable in character), loose ones will accept in the name of ("sebi he wanted to waste his money), those ones you do not wish on your cousin!

Girls are quite greedy sets of people , they like to eat their cake and also have it, they say they collect the gifts with no strings attached, because the guy is father christmas abi,please lets be honest he gives u a gift and you know where he is heading, and u know collecting it will only send the wrong signal but because of greed you collect it, thats what i call OJUKOKORO, they want to enjoy without paying the price, wellladies should learn to be principled if you don't like the guy then don't like his gifts also, or is that too difficult,

No. I wouldn't. Never have. I think it's a good opportunity to set him straight. Wink

@Nossakhare
Girls, eh? Well I know a man who accepted the gift of expensive new shoes & rent money for months! Then he would not say she was his girlfriend! Or even speak a word correcting her when she was telling other people that they were in love. Embarrassed And he knew that she was under that impression ~ I told him myself. So what now of greedy girls sha?

In the nigerian context, if the gift was heavy enough, even the girls mamma will press her to accept. We are materialistic by default  and tend not to see the finer things of life.

I gave a very close friend of mine a painted egg once. I spent hours blowing out the yolk and drying it,  paiinting the designs on it. You know what she did? she said "What is this?" and crushed the egg. She crushed my heart that day, but i said nothing. If they were car keys now - we know where the story will end. Needless to say, i never asked her out - she didnt value my gift.

footnote: about 5% of nigerian girls are not materialistic by nature and upbringing. 40% will love to say they are not, but OnTantalize(), they will return true. roughly 40% have been taught its ok to be slightly materialistic and will proclaim it, while the remaining 5% believe in "highest bidder takes all - registration fees non-refundable"

@Nosa Hmmm Ojukokoro/Greedy indeed! Angry When it's not like I asked for it! Please what are guys giving us that we can't afford? It's not about greed, just appreciating the efforts of an Oluse.

@Gridlock, I think it's materialistic when a girl has eyes only for big big things, whether it's a painted egg or a car key, I will accept it with thanks. Grin

 :oNosakhare, i think u'll find your statement too generalised. Not all girls re greedy, that doesnt mean that their are some out dere who don't give 2fxxxx about what dey do. But i know a couple of people (including ma self) that would tell u its wrong to lead a guy on by collecting his gifts. Tongue

I personaly don't take things from people, and knowing that u just need a 'yes', the more reason i wouldn't take it. If a guy's asking me out and i know in the end, i'll say 'yes', i'D rather wait till we are dating properly and then, i'll ask for it.

i am not a girl but i have been hearing stuff like this from my closest friends who are girls,


boy to girl-- i love you

girl to boy-- i don't love u, leave me alone , **walks out**



boy buys gifts for the girl, girl throws them back at him and walks out and yells leave me alone.


boy buys diamonds, girl keeps it and sends the boy a text saying thanks for the diamond but stay the fu*k away from me.


my point, if a girl tells u to leave her alone times without number and u still continue showering her with gifts, i wont blame the girl for accepting them and still kicking u out. she has said leave me alone, just respect her decision if u truely like her and back the fu*k off.


don't tell her but u have been accepting some of my gifts cuzz she told u from the start she no want and u gave the gifts out of your own generousity.



but a girl that wants to set the records straight like baba did after the failed third term bid, should not accept anything at all. that way, it will be obvious to the boy u don't want him or his bloody gift. then, the boy can turn around and start going straight to hell.

There is noting wrong for a girl to collect a gift from a guy that is chasing her.
It is the guy who decided to give a gift as his strategy to see if she would agree for him.

Such guys are all-ways loser for not having enough confident in them self rather in gifts.

right ! check this out,,,, I met this  guy at a friend's party, we got on talking and discovered he works just a few buildings from my work place, my birthday was actually 4 days away ,  he took me down to a jewelry shop to pick up my birthday gift, of course I chose a nice set  Wink. then He insisted on buying me a whole computer set, I started getting quite uncomfortable with all these because he never stops coming to take me out for lunch, I did confront him to ask him for the reasons behind these expenditures 'flow' he just smiled. My friends said I was greedy to accept the jewelry set from him ! anyway I started avoiding his calls even though he left messages that he'D come to pick me from work again to get me the computer set, the most hilarious day was the day I found out that he could actually see me seated right at my desk from across the road through the window  Cheesy and all along I told our receptionist to tell him I was off sick ! Cheesy,,,  but really would blame me for accepting the jewelry set?

Of course i would collect a gift from a guy i would not date, he isnt the devil so why should i refuse it. to me it would sem like i am collecting a gift from my friend and many guys think it is insulting when you don't accept their gifts. Girls please collect it well oh!!

u just contradicted yourself. u said no u wont then u turned to yes u will. guys will always tell u  u will make them the happiest people on earth if u accept the gift, u said it is your friend but the question is will u accept from a guy u don't want to date. like let say some guy comes up to you to chat u up and u snob the hell out of him, if he offers u diamonds with an escalad, will u accept knowing that u don't like him.
