OK, here’s it. The holiday season is coming, Christmas, Valentine’s, or it’s the birthday of the girl you’re after. What should you buy for her? You are scratching your head. Why so? It’s because you didn’t do your homework, your research. Listen, here’s how to tackle this problem. I’ll tell you what to buy and what not to buy. I’ll start with the “Don’t’s”.

1. Perfume/fragrance – Unless you know her very well, or you already know what brand/line she likes, otherwise forget it. The sense of smell is very personal. It’s almost impossible to tell whether she will like/dislike any particular fragrance. The chances of getting it wrong are way greater than getting it right. What’s worse? Picture this, you geniuses; she’s allergic to the perfume you bought her and there’re rashes on her skin. She’ll hate you for this. You might as well say your bye-byes.

2. Lingerie – Wait wait wait. You’re not her boyfriend yet, alright? It’s simply inappropriate. Trust me, you ain’t no Brad Pitt. And giving lingerie won’t get you laid. She’ll think you’re a pervert. And worse, girls talk; she’ll tell her shopping buddies, yoga girlfriends and gym rats…etc. By the next day, you’ll stink. And you won’t have any luck with her and anyone in that circle of friends. Words spread fast, man!

3. Clothes/shoes – Again, don’t do it unless you know her very well. Do you know her size? Do you know her favorite color? Girls buy clothes that match with her blouses, her shoes and her accessories. They do it mentally while shopping. So, you’ll probably get it wrong again.

So, what should you buy? That’s next topic…
