Women, when are the following items appropriate for a man to give to a gf/date/lover?

Im currently doing research on what women enjoy receiving, as gifts, over the timeline of a relationship. So I'm going to post a list of gift ideas (feel free to add to it) and i want your opinions as to when each is appropriate to be given. Here's a list: 1. Silver/gold Jewelry ($50 - $499) 2. Candies/sweets ($1 - $25) 3. Poetry found (written by others) 4. Self written poetry 5. Love letters 6. Paying for dinner (partial or full) 7. Flowers ($5 - $100) 8. Clothing $1- $100 (outermost layers of clothing - shirts/pants/sweaters/shoes) 9. Stuffed animals ($1 - $50) 10. Perfumes ($20 - $100) 11. Diamond/gem jewelry ($500+) 12. lingerie/underwear 13. Makeup 14. Designer Clothing ($100+) 15. Spa package etc. You get the idea. When are they appropiate? when would be too soon? what would you like most? What would it mean to you? etc. All comments are appreciated.

Our pick of the answers:

1. Silver/gold Jewelry ($50 - $499):maybe in the first few weeks 2. Candies/sweets ($1 - $25):maybe in the first few weeks 3. Poetry found (written by others): after the first few months 4. Self written poetry: first few months 5. Love letters:after a year 6. Paying for dinner (partial or full):you gotta do that from the first date dude. 7. Flowers ($5 - $100): maybe y'alls first valentines day together 8. Clothing $1- $100 (outermost layers of clothing -after 2 years shirts/pants/sweaters/shoes) 9. Stuffed animals ($1 - $50)first valentines day 10. Perfumes ($20 - $100)after a few months 11. Diamond/gem jewelry ($500+): a few years 12. Lingerie/underwear:when you're married 13. Makeup: never (it tells them that they aren't pretty so they need makeup) 14. Designer Clothing ($100+):after a few years 15. Spa package: 1st anniversary

Nancy asks…

How does a white man get a black woman to lower her barrier and accept an introduction with enthusiasm?

I asked this question before so let me add some detail. Here are some openers I have used that were authentic from the heart comments to women playing slots ibn a casino: "Excuse me, you have the most magnificent hair I have ever seen. May I ask how long it takes for you to get it like that.' Or....."Is that a lucky machine? No? I used to work in a casino, let me show you where they keep the lucky ones.' Or if I have seen someone before playing a machine I will tell her "I cant believe this...I have been here only 3 times in my life and all 3 times you have been here. Is that possible!!!?" Or if I feel like being silly I will say, "you need to talk nicely to the machine. It has feelings like a real person. Maybe it will treat you better if you tell it something sweet." Or at a wal-mart I will ask a woman if she needs help pushing her cart. Answer is always "no thank you." Anyway, I have tried dating services, I dress very cool. I am age 48, have an athletic body and speak very educated. If a woman tells me she is married which seems to happen over 50% of the time, I ask if she has a twin sister for me, and they always, always say no. What can I do to attract a black woman to me. Some of you have said black women dont want to feel like an experiment, but thats not fair. Every white man wanting to date inter-racially has to have his first white on black date. Besides my ex-wife is black anyway. Im just a so-so looking guy. Many people tell me I look like Ray Romano or Jim Valvano the basketball coach. I dress very well and try chatting with women both in casual and also in dress clothes. In fact, Im surprised that although I wear jeans a lot, sometimes at night I wear slacks, you know, dress pants that actually have a seam in it with classy shined shoes and a killer black long sleeve shirt with a nice collar and still....nothing. No interest from any black women. How can I find one to settle down with or at least get a few of them to date me? I know some black women prefer to stay with their own people, but all of them cant be like that. I approach women from 25-50.

Our pick of the answers:

Okay, well first of all dude, there are a lot of people who don't like dating other races. I'm not saying that all people are like that, but a lot are. You're just trying to get with the wrong black girls, ones who either aren't interested in you, or who don't like men with your race. Just keep looking, and you'll find one who is interested. Good luck.
