I mean, there's a chance that him buying a ring was for nothing else than to make her happy. Maybe he isn't trying to impress you or anyone else. Maybe he was just happy to have the chance to make her so happy. But of course not, he's flashing tail feathers. No no, she made him do it. Better still, he did it to bribe her into staying with him, after all...he probably doesn't trust her, and she more than likely doesn't trust him. That must be it.
Are you sure you bought something for someone out of desire, Raub? Or were you flashing tail feathers? God damn that's a dumb analogy. No offense.
Maybe I'm misreading things.

I never once said Hex's ring-purchase was because of any of those things. I was speaking in general terms as an observation, which I still agree with.
I have no problems with making people happy, I just don't understand, or like, the need for material crap in a relationship. Isn't the gift of love enough? Why the need to plop some unnamed amount of money on something like a ring when you're already in love? It's not the ring itself that bothers me, it's that we throw around "I love you" so much that we need something like a ring to actually give it meaning. The act of love should bring lots of happiness by itself, shouldn't it?
And for the record, I have never been burned by the opposite sex.
