There's a guy I like in my HR class at college. I kinda like him and I think he likes me back. ( he walked me to my locker and then to my next class) I was talking to my friends at work and they said " why don't you make him something for Valentine's day?" They got me thinking into cupcakes. There are some cute little gift boxes for sale at work.. they fit four cupcakes......would four be too much?

Would cupcakes even be a good idea. To me they show alot more effort, and are alot more special then just cookies.

What do you people think?

    WAITTTTTTT! BEFORE YOU DO IT, PLEASE GET A GUY'S OPINION! Sometimes we women think things are "cute" when a guy may think its desperate. Because you are still weary about weather he likes you are not and because you are not really close like that yet, i suggest you do something more like invite him in on plans you already have or something....something that lets him know you like being around him w/out letting him think that you went out of your way JUST FOR HIM.

    Just a little pre-playa advice...take it or leave it.......:huh:

    Good point. He might not like that forwardness. Who REALLY knows the male species anyway?:huh:
  • Yeah, I learned that the way you draw a man in, especially if you really like him, is to always keep the chase going...it drives them wild and in return you get sooooo much more from him. Take baby steps, dont put it all out there in the beginning because he'll just get bored and comfortable and stop doing the sweet little things he used to do in the beginning. You have to always make it to where they are always trying to find ways to make you smile or get some attention from you...if they dont have that its not fun anymore. Dont always answer the phone when they call, dont always be available when they want to do something.....never allow yourself to be so available that you end up having your whole world wrapped around someone else's schedule.....

    Thats my Dr. Phil moment for the day....lol:glasses:

    If he doesn't like forwardness,
    and you like being forward,
    not a good match anyhow, imo. :smile:

    I think it shows effort and thought.
    I like the idea of cupcakes. Simple. Sweet. Fun.

    (I am a VERY forward person, btw.)

    Or you could always give him this card instead.....

    Love the card :smile:

    I think cupcakes are a lovely, sweet idea. Some guys make not like the forwardness but some may. Every bloke is different. I know my hubby would have gotten so fed up with me if I had tried to play hard to get, but for others it drives them wild .. ?! Just be yourself, if you love the idea and it's the kind of think you feel comfortable doing then go for it! Good Luck , how exciting :smile: :flowerforyou:

    BTW, if you have a morning class with him, you could just as easily make muffins.



    Droooooooooool
    Muuuuuuuuffins.
    (Fresh warm muffins are to me what doughnuts are to Homer Simpson)

    I'm not suggesting playing hard to get, i'm suggesting that you can like someone w/out making them your whole world. The cupcakes are a sweet Idea, I just think if you are skeptical about if someone likes you or not you should try hanging out w/ them outside of your usual enviornment, like inviting them somewhere where there will be a group of people, so he doesnt feel the pressure but appreciates your thoughtfullness to include him, letting him know that you wanna hang out w/ him. Give him the opportunity to make the move to really let you know that he's feelin' you. You all are right, every man/person is different. Its my opinion that if a guy really likes you, he'll show you.

    Well, I was gonna make some for my family too...and save a few for him. I could say " I made a batch of cupcakes for Valentine's Day. I'd like to give you some."

    To me it says i showed effort but not as forward:huh:
  • You should do whatever you feel is good, you know his vibe, we dont....if you feel like he'd like the cupcake idea that would be great. I mean I dont know anyone that would turn down cupcakes, but you never really know what they are thinking about the gesture or idea....maybe i'm reading into it too much, it was just a simple question i guess.....i always over think things:grumble:

    i was a good idea to get a guy's opinion. I just asked one of my guy friends over MSN and he said " who'd turn down cupcakes?!?!?" he also thinks that should include a card....I think a card would be too much

    I think a card is too much as well.
    Just the cupcakes.
    If the guy is interested, he will respond in one way or another. :smile:

    I would say the fastest way to a mans heart is Either cookies or Rice crispie treats...

    if that doesnt work, steak and a BJ works nice too...

    at least it does for me! lol :love: :flowerforyou: :happy: :tongue: :laugh: :wink: :smile: :smooched: :heart: :drinker: :glasses:

    HAHA only kidding, but seriously GO FOR IT GIRL!!!

    you will only know if you give it a go! and to be honest MOST guys would welcome a straight forward woman. they would be fools not to!

    Four cupcakes sound perfect! It shows that you care enough to make him something meaningful, but he doesn't have to figure out how to transport two dossen fragile things that you can't tip over.:flowerforyou:

    I'm so glad you found someone you really like in class and share a common interest.
    If you want my honest opinion regarding doing something for Valentines' Day,

    Well, if you really really like him and you want this to work, then, do Nothing. Not a card, not a cupcake, not anything.

    My best suggestion to you is go and read this book called The Rules and stick with what it says in there.
