I don't blog much, but in my last blog from a little over 3 months ago I mentioned I had just asked out my gf. We just said our goodbyes tonight since she leaves for college early tomorrow morning, but she secretly left me a few little gifts in my car unbeknown to me. These gifts included:
A Guster CD:
and
nutella (aka chocolaty/hazelnutty amazingness)
However, the most important of the gifts was a little memory scrapbook handmade thing with a ton of our inside jokes, pictures, and memorable stuff we did over the summer.... and I gave her nothing. I am a bad person and I figure I can send her a package or something to her at school but I just am feeling like she cared so much to spend a lot of time making that and I didn't do squat.
Summary: My gf gave me a cool handmade, meaningful gift, and I didn't do anything for her.

What's past is past, now all you have to do is go through a cross-country life-altering trip attempting to give you girlfriend the best possible gift to make it up to her but also find your place in the world along the way.

wait... i thought you only go on those trips to intercept a porno accidentally mailed to your gf?
but seriously, you made a little mistake now you have to make it up somehow. try to do something nice/thoughtful and you should be good, it's a little bit harder with long distance but not impossible. be creative (as you said the best gift was the scrapbook that she put a lot of time and thought into)

You should probably go to Hollywood and be a writer. That's some good stuff.

you could make this right by picking a random holiday and giving her a ridiculous gift that she can't match and then she'll be the one to feel bad and then the cycle continues dun dun dun

Well, seriously just give her a gift anyways. It's better than not doing it. And if you see her again, plan something special that she likes.

Accepting the gift honours the giver. Don't try to reciprocate, accept it gracefully and send her a letter telling her how much you appreciated it. Then, later, find another suitable spot to return the favour.

It's never too late really to gift her back but don't do it out of a sense of duty to her. Just because she gifted you something doesn't mean you have to do the same.
Probably write her a letter or let her know how much you appreciate it! When the time is right catch her off guard and gift her something!

Girls love hand written letters, especially if you put a lot of thought into it.

This is the best advice to follow.
Don't feel like you have to "make up" for this gift - it only creates a cycle of guilt when there shouldn't be. Just remember to do nice things for your gf every now and then, and not because she did something for you.

Do this. If you send her a gift now shes gonna realize you only did it because she got you something, and then the gift will lose any meaning that you intended for it.

She did it for you because she thinks you're a good person. Don't worry about it Just follow Hot_Bid or Manifesto's advice come Christmas or her birthday, whichever is closer... :O
+ Show Spoiler +Actually, considering the age, it's probably a book of "pictures of us" meant to say "don't forget about me while I'm gone! :@"
|
On the real Jono, send her letters.
|
I'm confused as to why you didn't give her anything if you knew she was leaving? But show her that you appreciated it!
|
Don't get her anything 'cause she's going to have foreign college dick up in her soon.
|
One thing, don't try to "one up" her ... just do something that you think is nice / thoughtful to show her you appreciate. If you try to purposefully one up her it'll turn into a war you just can't win.
