Birthday present?

LegacyUser

Hey, I was thinking of buying tickets for my girlfriend for a concert in London, and getting the plane and hotel too... thing is, we've only been going out about 2-3months, although it is her 21st, ...... it is a show I know she'd love to see...

I'm just not sure if it's too big a present... What do you guys think?

Ah go for it, sounds pretty damn sound to me Everyone loves a holiday.

akamossy

Nah, go for it, she'll love it:D

srdb20

Def go for it she doesn't even have to know how much it costs.... sounds like a great idea man:pac:

Was planning stuff like this after being with my gf for a month, why? because girlfriends are princesses and they deserve it! Plus you'll feel great when you see her face light up!

She'll go nuts, do it man!

RedXIV

Do it! doesn't matter how long you have been going out, if you think this is what you want to do for her on her 21st, do it.

Fair play OP, sound like a decent bloke!

Ghost Girl

Why do you think its too big a present after only 2 or 3 months?? Are you doubting some thing....cause hell if i was going out with some one 2 to 3 months, i'd be over the moon with a present like that if it was a show i loved!!!.

If she doesn't appreciate it, or thinks its too big a present, then i'd be moving on kid!!

I would find it a bit over the top but this is just me. My husband got me a gorgeous large teddy bear after just 1.5 months together, while I cherish it now I thought that he was trying too hard at the time.

LegacyUser

Ah thanks guys, I will.

You've put my mind to rest.

Aw thats a lovely present. Any girl would love it regardless of how long you are together! The only problem I could see with it was if it was for the night/ weekend of her 21st cause she might have plans already as in a party etc

Keano

OP you should go for it. I was with my girlfriend only a few months before her 21st and I went a small bit OTT. She didn't complain and we are still together.

King of Kings

i think it's too much too soon.

Cmol

Definitely go for it

Wurly

I think that's a lovely idea and I think she'd be well chuffed.

Wibbs

This shouldn't even be a question. She'll love it and if she doesn't I'll damn well go with you!:)

I haven't booked it yet (waiting for my credit card to clear) but, I was on the phone to her there a minute ago, and what'd she say? But that her friend was going to this exact gig, I don't know what to do now, go ahead with it or think of something else? I feel like the surprise is ruined....

(Sorry, I know I'm being a bit of an idiot)

(Also, re: why is this an issue, ... I'm just unsure of what to do or how to act in general, this is my first attempt at a relationship, and the longest relationship I've been in thus far.)

Don't put yourself into debt for anyone. It's just not worth it.

You can spend a lot less closer to home, like an evening away down the country in a fancy hotel.

GrumPy

Sounds like a great idea. Planning on doing something like this myself assuming everything goes gravy over the next few months.

Go for it, she will love it. So what if her friend is going, she will have the best of both worlds, can meet her friend for a few drinks and also have a great weekend with her boyfriend. Def go for it, BIG TIME.

Was this planned for the exact day of her 21st? If so, she may not be that keen. On my 21st I wanted a big party with lots and lots of my friends there, if my boyf had planned something for the two of us only with no-one else there on my 21st, I would not have been terribly amused.

Also, how serious is your relationship? If you know for sure that she is very keen on you, an expensive present that took a lot of planning could be very much appreciated. BUT, if it's not that serious, she's not really that into you and you're just seeing each other, a big present like this could seem a bit stalkerish.

LegacyUser

I don't know, I heard from her mates that she'd really liked me for months before we got together, so I do hope she likes it, anyway I bought them yesterday and I'm going to hope for the best. Fingers crossed.

Oh, also, not putting myself into debt, just been going a bit mad on ebay recently, was waiting for my funds to settle.

Thanks though guys for your help, ye've been great.

And, I've booked it for 2 weeks or so after her birthday so I can give her the tickets on the day of her birthday and so she has time to get the time off work.
