Please help me melt his heart ❤️

[Heybearu]

So having had a really not great time on online dating...I've finally started to speak with someone I would like to impress. Ladies he sings, he bakes bread, he reads he's the main parent. I'm in heaven.
Id like to give him a book at our first date....he likes most genres...nothing like super seedy tho as he's quite wholesome...what can I give him that will melt his heart so I get to keep him forever?
Or at last so he looks back and thinks that was cool.
Help please x

I am pilgrim but after first month or so maybe

Someone brought me a book on our first date! I so want to say it was perfect and we ended up together forever but it actually felt a bit mansplainy (he explained why it was so good) and I got the ick, not just for that to be fair but it didn’t help! So I would advise against the book bringing!
I still have the book….I have still never read it 😂

You haven’t even met him yet, op.
Seriously, calm down.

Not really.

Not at all.

Never. 🤣

Sorry OP, I agree it's too full on too soon. You've not even met yet, imo first dates should be low commitment, to see if they match their profile and see if you actually fancy them.

I think the salty replies are all just jealous of the freshly baked focaccia coming my way

You're all invited to the wedding ladies 😉 🤣🤣🤣

Not Vegas then?

Not Vegas then? 🤣

Weird…

I absolutely love reading, but nothing makes me feel more put-upon, panicky and grumpy than having a book foisted on me by someone who doesn’t know my taste.

IF you get to know each other, and IF your tastes coincide, then MAYBE give him a book you really love, rather than something you hope will impress him.

No book on first date.

Read a book, popular one he might have read.

The Kite Runner is excellent for later gift

Some people need to learn the hard way... so yeah, buy a lovely book for a total stranger OP. Always good to let random men know you're super into them without them having to live up to any standards at all.

I hope for your sake that you don’t come across as this full on and desperate in real life.

Calm down!!! He’s just some bloke. 🙄

I am Pilgrim

An A to Z so he knows where the nearest hills are to run to.

Did you mean to be so rude?

Babette's Feast. Heartwarming - about cooking and extraordinary generosity and love (in a broad sense, not romantic love),

I've added you to the guest list for Vegas save the date 🤣

Maybe you could take him a nice sourdough starter , and then years down the line you could be still eating the bread from the same starter 😍😄

Did you not read about the bread??🤣

True x

God this is so weird and sad at the same time.....this is why all this chit chat before even meeting is such a bad idea, women get so attached to the idea of a man and of course he turns out just to be some other woman's loser ex

That's very intense for a first date. You also risk alienating him if you get it wrong. Wait to get to know him a bit more. For instance, if someone got me The Alchemist I'd wonder what was wrong with them.
