Hello Ladies

I hope you can forgive my intrusion into your sanctuary, but I needed some advice. My lady friend has been my ROCK through my sleeve process. She bought all my supplies, did my two week liquid diet with me slept on a cot at the hospital and refuses to eat any food around me so she wont tempt me. (she even drives to her moms for dinner and drives home) Anyway I want to do something special for her to let her know how much it means to me. I bought her a really cool tennis bracelet and want to give it to her, the problem is I can't bring her out for a nice dinner!! I can't go into Chez Expensique and order mushy confit, I wish. So where do I take her and tell her how much she means to me? I was thinking one of those central park horse carriages but it seems a bit cliche, any suggestions welcome.

Geeze, don't worry about cliche! A surprise carriage ride would knock my socks (and other things) off. Most women are really easy to please. It is the fact that you are putting this much thought and effort into surprising her. I wish my hubby could find his romantic brain again. He lost it about 10 months after we met and got comfortable in our relationship.

Good luck and a big "Kudos" to you!

: )

ooooo boy, you dont know us ladies very well do you? Cliche? That's what we like!!! I say horse and buggy ride would be amazing. I would enjoy a play or musical too! How far out are you? There are lots of places you can go and if you dont mind watching her eat, you can order soup. It doesnt hurt to call a head and find out what the soup of the day is and plan the place accordingly. It may be a good way for her to learn to eat in front of you again. Cause if you plan on staying together (which it sounds like you do) she will need to be comfortable eating with you.

Just my opinion. Good Luck and Good for you for treating her so well.

You posted this while I was writing the same thing practically!

I think the carriage ride sounds terrific! Shoot, I'd be happy with some purty flowers and the lovely gift you're giving her!

You're a lucky man to have someone that devoted to helping you get through this journey. I hope she's more than just a "friend".

Let us know how it turns out, would you please? So I can live vicariously through you... and, if you want to call my hubby and give him some ideas, I'll be happy to share his number! LOL

What a lucky pair you are... a carriage ride sounds fab! I agree with the others... cliche ain't bad! What about a nice stroll, somewhere peaceful?

Good luck with your thank you ... let us know where and how it was received!

Thanks for setting me straiht ladies. I guess the carriage ride wins out. Im gonna be bringing her over to NY this weekend and reserve a ride for the evening. I will let you all know how it went. I am a lucky guy to have her and all of you brillant ladies to have my back.

CT - you are a great guy to think of doing this. I hope she enjoys her evening!

What a thoughtful gift, and I would vote yes on the carriage ride too...cliche or not it's a nice touch. :rose:

I love the carriage ride idea too!! How romantic!

What a wonderful idea and sweet man you are! I love it. Let us know how it goes!

Is this for Christmas or just because? I'm telling you, the whole lighted Christmas tree back drop is always nice (at times square or the like). Or the top of a skyscraper deal. It might all seem cliche but MYSELF??? I'd love it. GOOOD LUCK!! Let us know how it all turns out.

Awh!!! you are a lucky man to have that kind of support from your lady .... and my vote is for the carriage ride as well and the Christmas lights will really just put this over the top.... She's going to love, love, love it ...... I know I would.

Oh I can't wait to hear how this goes! She is going to love this romantic evening!

Me too! The ladies love some romance!

SO.. How did it go???
