I would. I've proven repeatedly that I know what kind of stuff she would like, and am confident enough that I would even buy something that I know she would not like as well, and order specific alterations to it that would turn it into something she loved.

hmm, I will do it. My fiance's BD is in Sept and not only do I know her size but I also know what store she likes the most.

Dresses aside, I am making my GF pick out her engagement ring. $50 dress is one thing, like hell I am spending $x000.00 on the wrong freeking ring. It might be unromantic but I don't care.

Sorry Mosh... I'm married.
Personally, I'd win in this situation, because out of the blue, I'd say "I have reservations for dinner tonight to a really nice restaurant. Let's make a whole night out of it. We can go out to a movie afterward, and how about I treat you to a new dress and shoes for the occasion? Let's go shopping." Then, while she was trying on the dress of her choice, I'd stand there holding her purse, with that self-perceived look of "dork" on my face.
Guys - if you think my idea sounds good, don't expect to have a dress and shoes picked out in under an hour. Yes, I know we could pick out an entire wardrobe for ourselves in 25 minutes. Expect lots of time standing around outside the fitting room. But, be honest: "that doesn't flatter your figure" (aka "that makes you look fat" - 5 words to never ever dare to repeat) Or, "wow, you look fantastic in that dress."
And, Mosh, admit it... new shoes are the icing on the cake for any female

Clothing is pretty personal and I have no idea what would fit my wife anyway. I let her shop for her clothes. I've picked out jackets and stuff like that as a gift but that's pretty much it.
I did pick out a dress for a GF once though many years ago.

you know, while the gesture is nice DrPizza, i hate seeing guys like that. they do have the look on their face like they are being literally dragged out to shop with the wifey/gf.Originally posted by: DrPizza

in fact, it's really being a kissup, and i know it works for some.
i just want the surprise of it all, and the sponteniety. is that so wrong?
for the love of <insert diety here> throw hima FREAKIN BONE!!! He'd do it if he knew it would get him laid. And don't give me that "it's not sweet/romantic/sexy if I have to tell him I want him to do it on his own. That junk leads to you not getting what you want and him not getting what he wants. Guys spell it out but girls are too busy worrying about him doing it without being told, why do you think so many women don't like sex? I say it's your own fault if you're not gonna give him a strong clue.

nah, i'm not a spoon feeder.
my original post in this thread was: do you have enough confidence to buy your girl a dress?
well then I guess my response would have to be: do you want it enough to tell him or do you mind it never happening?
I'm not trying to be an @sshole, I'm just saying it's not like guys do it intentionaly, for the most part we really don't know or we would.
Yeah, i have done, not been in any relationship that lasted more than a night in a few years though, so not these days.
I don't know what is so special with it, if she doesn't like it it's not my problem.

is there a right answer to that question Lazy8s?
i just think it would be nice. if it doesn't happen i wouldn't hold it against him.

Not trying to be touché, are you 100% sure you have him? There might be something he wants for surprise as well. Somebody has to make the move first, or else well thats history. Not saying who should make the first move by any means.
