First date with Libra women.... Gift or not?

I recently met a Libra girl and plucked up the courage to ask her out....

We had a chat on the phone to arrange the plans for 2 hours (although it seriously felt like 20 minutes)

Now I have read that Libras are romantic and love classy expensive gifts.

What I am planning to give her is not expensive.

The gift itself is in relation to the first place we met as strangers but immediately connected. She will definitely understand the context and I'm sure it will resonate with her. I'm just concerned she won't appreciate it because it's not jewellery or a more expensive item.

I was going to write a little poem to accompany it as she mentioned she liked poetry as well on our first encounter as strangers.

So in short.... Will she appreciate the sentiment as a Libra woman?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I am a sucker for sentiment. Id be turned off by an expensive gift.

I think you should go for it.

Eh, nothing more than flowers. I'd feel uncomfortable and a bit overwhelmed if a guy bought me gifts on our first date.

it's a meaningful token - so yes, do it

you never know - you both could be looking at that thing on your shelf for the next 50 wonderful years together !

Libra women scare off easy. Hard to know what's really on their mind so imo don't do the gift. She might think you're too into her and might scare her. Just go with the flow and make her laugh. Libra women love humor and love men who can be committed but not so serious

Hm you do have a point. It depends on how much she likes him already. If she really likes him she would love it but if she isn't that sure it might make her uncomfortable.

OP how long have you been dating?

I agree. It does depend how much she likes him.

Thanks for the advice so far....

This is our first date!

Allow me to explain.... The gift is relevant to an activity she said she would like to do one day with me which is going to a haunted castle (the gift is a keyring torch in an owl purse)

The poem is complimentary but very tongue in cheek.... I reckon it will make her laugh.

But yeah, don't want to scare her off.

Do you reckon I should only do it if the date is a success and give her it at end of night?

🤗 cyber hugs!

Um he is not a woman, congratulations lucky on your son but most of the time when I read your post about Libras I can't relate because of your water placements.

Any woman any woman any zodiac would deeply appreciate a man who showed up for a date with a gift. It's rare; it shows your level of class, it shows that you are a gentleman and you were raised right.

A man who would give me a gift would never be forgotten...I forget men rather easily but a man who took the time to bring me a meaningful gift bring will be remembered forever....especially flowers.

is the torch and the purse two separate items?

if so, just give her the keyring torch and make a joke out of it. i think the purse is overkill. you can give that to her a later date.

This is a tough one.

I guess it depends on the level of feelings that you two already share. If this was a "get to know you" first date, a gift might come off as too strong. On the other hand, if you two already have formed a bond, it would be very sweet. Only you can gauge the appropriateness of a gift.

Just go for it. As long as you attach zero expectations or pressure.

If it had been an expensive gift without anymeaning i would have said no, don't be a mark.

But in this case all you're showing is you've been paying attention. If she doesnt like that for whatever reason, then you've found your answers either way.

it may not be a case of her not liking it but speaking personally, if something that came out me that i wasn't ready for it would send me into a tailspin.

i would then obsess about the meaning of the gift and then how does he feel? what are his intentions? what does he think my intentions are? how do i feel? am i there yet? am i going to hurt him in the end if his feelings aren't reciprocated? how likely is it that i might eventually feel the way that i think he thinks i feel? if i don't, i don't want t hurt his feelings so maybe this should end before anyone's feelings are hurt.

i'm not excusing my neuroses. i just know i would turn the whole thing into a giant mess.

A gift on the first date seems overkill dude. But if you've known each other prior and have been interacting prior, you should be okay.

However, do yourself a favor and stop consulting astrology in order to figure out ways to woo her. Using it to figure out behavioral tendencies is one thing, but when it comes to things much more personal like interests, personal likes/dislikes, style preferences, etc, you need to pay attention to the individual. It's just stupid as shit to assume astrology will peg someone's personal preferences based a star sign.

The fact that you're doing this already means you're trying too hard and fretting over nothing. Get off the internet and just pay attention to the actual situation.

I can relate to this. The overthinking. 😛

taken to an olympic level. 🙂

Test her interest. Don't give her something expensive but sentimental. This will be the quickest way to know what she want also.

How long have you known her?

First met 6 weeks back....

Only spoken once since then after a mutual friend played matchmaker and told me to contact her.

We spoke last week on phone which is when I asked her out.

Yeah, I wouldn't bring the gift. That's a lot of pressure from someone I've only known for 6 weeks and spoken to once.
