Hi.

I get this problem every year leading up to gf birthday weeks in advance thinking of stuff to get or things todo but because i get anxious and nervous i get to a day before like today and have nothing planned and no gift. Ive locked myself in the bathroom now and really upset cause yet another year i ruin her birthday. I have got enough money so thats never an issue. I want to make her feel special but my problems get in the way once again. I feel like s##t cause i always think she would get better looked after by someone else on her birthday and im a failure.

Help.

If you have a problem finding something for her birthday, you could buy a blank birthday card and write down how you feel about her. Dig deep and come up with some true ways of why you love her, I bet that would mean a lot to her. Peace!

U no what i love her so much. She is a fun bubbly person and im just a nervous wreak around people so unsociable just want her to be happy and have good day. I now trying to calm down with a pint of beer on my own. Why am i so negative?

in reply to Bigt966

Perhaps with beer and pen in hand you can write it down for her :) I don't recommend beer as an answer but as you already have one :)

in reply to Bigt966

Yes you could do that if it makes you feel better. I was thinking about writing in her card how much you love her.

Wow what a day. I got 3 gifts . walked i to same shop 6 times before getting courage to get what i went in there for. Still wasnt able to talk very well cause my nerves and was very sweaty. So googled what i wanted and show them a phot which was easier. Wish i could just be more confident .im tired.

See how it gos down in morning.

Dinner is booked for 7 pm tomorrow evening. Hope i dont screw it up.

I don't know what she likes but online you can get spa certificates or some nice dinner for two is always nice. Just let her know how she is appreciated.

hey dont be beating yourself up with worry.sometime the simple things in life are all a person wants.with your card place a hand written note with it telling her how you really feel.makes it feel more real.
