    is she having a party? are you invited? Me and my ex were on good terms for his 21st but his friends weren't my biggest fans so we went on a big pissup the night of his actual birthday and he had his party (minus my attendance0 on the Saturday.

    Go for a while, give her €21 in a card and then go out with your friends after an hour or two. Dont sit there all night like a fool watching her have her 21st kiss with the latest fella she fancies, get out and live it!

    If she doesn't want to get back with you then no amount of expensive jewellry or fancy presents will make her change her mind so don't waste your money. Give her a card with money, something small as well, maybe lottery tickets, call in for an hour and then go out with your mates. Otherwise it'll be torture watching her.

    Just the card and €21, its the least personal thing you could give her really!

    Arrive late (i.e. don't be first to arrive and all eager), give her the card and money, stay for an hour and then go out with your mates.

    If you want to get her something nice - then do!

    Surely if you are friends you would want to get her something nice (Note: nice does not always equal expensive!) - and Im sure she wont think your trying to get back with her!?

    I think your putting too much thought into this tbh!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,023 ✭✭✭Meathlass


    Sorry I totally misread the last post. Thought you wanted to get her a present that would make her want to get back with you. Opps, missed that i.e. in the original post.

    Agreed :) I would get her something she will like....not necessarily something fancy or soppy! Just get her something she will like! Don't give her €21 in a card, i think that is just rude if she is an ex (it's very inpersonal i think), a friend you have never been with yeah, but not an ex!

    And then take the others advice....go to the party for a couple of hours and then go meet your mates ;)

    Sorry but how is giving money rude????? It's the thought that counts and usually exes would give each other nothing so it's nice of him to even give her a card. If they were still together it would be rude and inconsiderate, as it stands they are not.

    The card is a good idea, but i think €21 in it instead of a present isn't. Maybe rude wasn't the best word, I just think it's very cold and thoughtless. I would rather give an ex just a card, than give a card with €21 in it...

    I'd appreciate anything really. It's not like he has to give her anything if he chooses not to.

    I never said he had to give her anything! I just think that €21 euro in a card is very thoughtless and cold.

    i reckon i know alot of thoughtless and cold people so. I reckon we all do...

    ...who'd a thunk it. lol :p

    Wrong. Bath/shower products are the least personal thing you can give her... or a candle.

    Man I hate getting those presents!

    I say get her a super soaker. I got my friend one. It was used that night on two people getting frisky in her bed.
