romantic gift ideas, discount jewelryDon’t ask me why but my brother came to me for romantic gift ideas the other day when I was helping him move. He needed help brainstorming for a girl he has wanted to go out with for a while now. She is a friend that he wants to turn into something more. All I know about these situations is it can get awkward quick. He is pretty set on winning her over with romantic gift ideas. He asked me if booking a hot air balloon ride would be too much up front. Hesitant I said I think it would be better after she already knows how he feels. I could be wrong but the idea of asking a long time friend on a hot air balloon who agrees thinking it is friendly as usual could be a waste of money for my bro and extremely awkward if he tries to pull something and she isn’t having it. It’s not like there is much room to escape in a little basket floating a hundred feet in the air.

The only advice I could give was he knows her best so do something she would enjoy. Just the two of them. I wouldn’t start with aromatherapy candles (that’s for later) the key is to let her know how he feels first. Leave the discount jewelry until after they start dating. I wish him luck with this one.
