Preventer, I know you haven't said that was a noble thing to do. Someone else called it "noble", I don't remember who at the moment, I think it was Frozen. Don't make me read all posts again
I'm not speaking of marriage in particular, but c'mon, I think you know what I'm talking about. Some boys use gifts just to ask something or to suggest something in particular occasions. That is done in name of self-satisfaction. I'm not talking about the satisfaction you get from making someone happy, which I repeat in my opinion isn't something you can buy with money, I'm talking of purely narcissistic self-satisfaction: you do something important because you feel satisfied by the mere fact of doing it, or you're satisfied guessing after that the other person will look at you in a different way. It's a pleasant feeling, I know, but love is slightly different. You do it for yourself, for your ego. Girls don't do it as much as boys. You're right when you say girls and boys are on different sides. It is also true that girls can be fooled a lot more by it than boys. Some boys don't value the relationship very much, but they keep on buying expensive gifts for their girlfriends. It's a bit like obtaining the possession of the girl's affection with money. Not saying this is Squaredsoft's case though, and anyway Squaredsoft was the first person to express his doubts regarding his action of spending all that money in that occasion. He's not 100% sure of his choice, probably, for a reason or another. I've only suggested that starting buying these kind of gifts when you're 16 you'll end considering gifts as part of a trade called "love" when you're older. When you're young you don't need these things. When you're older, you often end being so "corrupted" by routine, relationships coming and going, other life's worries, that most of the times spending becomes the easiest way to solve your love troubles. Better delaying this process if you can
