Out of Pod Experience

hi,

my gf birthday is coming up, shes already askedfor something specific - tropical fish - and i intend to by her them but i was thinking what else could we do on the day that would be cool and fun.

I was thinking maybe take her rally car driving but i dont know if thats a good idea or if its just something that i would like to do.

other than that i guess we could go into london for the day eat, get drunk, hang out etc. but we could do that any weekend. I want to do something fun and special.

any ideas?

thanks in advance :)

wow troll much?

Comedy club! Laughter is the best present.

Actually no, he's not trolling... My first thought when reading this was 'how long has this guy known this woman?' and my second was 'does this guy even know the woman?'

You know what she likes and dislikes (or should know) only you can decide what would be good or wouldn't... We could spout everything from picknic at the beach, through to take her to the theatre, through to propose to her... But only you would (should) know what she would like...

Your (and hers) RL mates would be a better option to go for advice over this... They will know you both better...

If you don't think you know her well enough, talk to her best friend on the sly.



If you have flowers growing nearby, take her for a walk and hand pick her some of them (while nobody is watching if need be).

Is there an exhibit at a local art gallery or museum that you think she would like to go to?

Is there someone she hasn't seen in a while that you could arrange a visit with? Think friends, grandparents or other relatives.

Take her on a train or car ride out to a village pub for lunch.

Fill her a bath tub full of bubble bath, and set candles and rose petals around the room.

Oh she doesn't already have an aquarium set up and have experience? You said "tropical fish" which would imply adding more to an existing environment. If she is a rare bird (few girls keep tanks) and even has a salt water tank, most definitely something like this is a nice setup. But if it's just another whim and she has no exp with fish, then maybe look into getting a betta fish. fresh water betta fish are a good first pet-fish almost as easy to take care of as goldfish (no need for big circulation systems).

At least that'll get you in the door and off for pizza and a movie quick enough. There are like betta fish condos if you want to pick up a few fish (cant mix them), but you can put one in anything like a decorated clear wine jug or whatever. Personally my favorite are semi-salt silver tipped shark in a large turtle tank. I like when they go into shark-mode and start circling hehe, and easy enough to care for.

Warm water fish, being fresh water, salt water or semi-salt, often originating from the tropics. Common aquarium fish you can google map a half-dozen tropical fish stores in your area most likely. There are some classified as marine fish as well. Sometimes you will see other fish in those shops as well, such as Koi fish (I used to have), which are domesticated carp and mostly kept in ponds.

Get a cuddly shark. Chicks love a man eating fish.

wow i wake up this morning and 19 more replies lol

well i do know the girl very well we've been together for 5 years now and are engaged to be married. she likes to do and see fun things like going diving, or goin on safari or going out for a meal and a movie, . Theres lots of things she likes but i cant do them all and im certianly not feeling rich enough to plan a holiday or even a weekend getaway where she could maybe see some animals or go diving or something.

Besides we've just come back from Kenya where she got to do exactly that. I was just hoping that maybe somebody here had a good idea that was a bit different or something becuase trust me in the 5 years we've been together i've gotten her the things she likes most of the time or i guess we wouldnt have made it this far.

I apologise if i weasnt very clear in the op but sometimes i cba to write a wall of text.

Anyway im thinking the rally car racing would be pretty cool only problem is minimum group size is 6 so ill have to try and get her mates contact numbers and convince them to go at short notice. Its also a bit expensive - maybe not the best of ideas at short notice.

/sigh
