I think the BEST gift you could give to a man (and to yourself) is
to be COMPLETELY HONEST with him right from the beginning.

No, I don't mean confessions and skeletons in your closet,
(By the way I feel that sometimes this is a bit too much for a new
 person to handle), I mean BE YOURSELF.  Don't pretend to adore
Chinese food because you think it will lead to a dinner invitation;
or that you LOVE camping when you would rather die then sleep with
the bears and snakes.

Being honest and open about you likes and dislikes from the start
could save alot of grief, regrets, etc., later on in the relationship
(if your little pretends let it get to that point).

Seriously, how often have you heard people say into a relationship
that they really have nothing in common, abhor, and/or really don't
know why they are in that relationship.

Guys, this naturally applies to you too.  

You might not have every saturday booked if you follow this; but
you might also enjoy yourself better and finding your personal
lifestyle benefitting from your being so honest with yourself.

It's not easy, but it's worth a shot.
