Sweet gestures are fine during a relationship. This is why all men should give overwhelmingly cheesy displays of affection, but what most men don’t realize is that there are actually rules when it comes to gift giving.



Think about it
: What would happen if you gave a diamond necklace to a girl you just started dating? Sure, it may have seemed like a great idea at the time, and there’s a good chance she’ll be impressed, but what about in the long run? What will you do on her birthday? Or on your anniversary? Unless she can afford to buy him diamonds every other week, she’ll face serious problems, culminating in the statement ‘you’re so different from when we first dated’. Actually, there are many relationships that have ended simply because the guy couldn’t keep up with the girl. Expectations.

The key to this is space your gifts and give appropriately. The best way to avoid ‘over-giving’ is to not give material things. Items that really have value can be evaluated in the future and are more likely to be compared to what you gave previously. I’m not saying you should never give her jewelry; you just have to give it to him from time to time and only when it’s appropriate.

Instead, you should focus on things like massages and homemade candlelight dinners, things that will mean something to her, but don’t really have any monetary value. As the relationship progresses, you should begin to intertwine hypnosis with your gifts, too, to ensure that their value increases even more. Once you’ve used hypnosis to get inside your head, you can modify your emotional triggers so that you feel more emotion about your actions, making you appreciate them even more.
