In what he insists is a stroke of genius and not an oversight, 27-year-old Ryan Matthews has reassured his girlfriend Emma that the real reason he hasn’t bought her a Christmas gift isn’t because he’s lazy, but because he wants to make sure she gets a great gift! – by driving out to a crowded Westfield on Boxing Day.
Dropping the news casually on Christmas Eve, Ryan explained that it would make for one of those nice dating activities Emma keeps going on about.
“I just thought it made more sense”, Ryan explained, “that way you can pick it?”
Emma, who had spent the past three months subtly dropping hints about a pair of gold earrings and even left a bookmarked tab on his laptop, was understandably less than impressed, especially seeing as she’d dropped $250 on a nice cologne.
“Nah babe, it’s smarter this way. Like I could have gotten you a gift, and then if you didn’t like it I’d have to take it back.”
“This way you can get exactly what you wanted!”
“For like, 50% off.”
More to come.
