Question date: 2023/09/20 14:48

My dad used to say to me, ``I'd like to give you a present, so if there's anything you want, please let me know,'' even on my birthday or whatever.

A lot of time passed as I was thinking about various things, but after that, Dad didn't mention the gift. .
I'm having a hard time coming up with the idea that it's somehow brazen to start with this.

How can I bring up the topic of requesting gifts in a way that won't be obscene?

I think it's brazen and naughty to say what you want as a gift.

If you really want to say something, I think it's better to casually tell them what you're thinking of buying instead of telling them what you want as a gift.
If a man is in the mood for a gift at that time, he may buy it for you.

I thought women generally had this level of skill.

``Do you remember when you said to me earlier, ``I'd like to give you a present, so if there's anything you want, please let me know''?'' I prefaced it with, ``I remember,'' and confirmed.
I think it would be a good idea to timidly ask, ``I'm so happy and I've been thinking about what I'd like, but I want ○○. Is that okay?''

thanks for your questions.
Maezawa will also answer.

I think you talked about it because you wanted to give it as a present.
I think it's just the party that I suddenly wanted to join at that time.
I think it's possible that I don't feel like that anymore.

Therefore, from now on, there is a possibility that it will be interpreted as simply asking for a present.
For example, when the questioner's birthday approaches
Let's talk about your birthday

At that time, I was glad that you had asked me about the present before.
I thought it would be nice to get it as a birthday present because I thought it would be hard to get one when I didn't have anything.
Is it still valid?

Should I ask something like this?

Even so, it will end up sounding like begging.

As Mr. Mac wrote, proceeding with the story while checking is
I feel like it's good because it doesn't feel harsh.

However, from now on, I think it would be better to be able to answer questions immediately when asked.
Or, I would be happy if it was a gift from 〇〇.
And

Or ask about the budget...
How long is it okay?
I think it would be good to have a direct conversation like this.

I think some men don't like that kind of thing.
It might be better to recommend talking in a safe direction.

It's My

the value of the gift
not “what”
how to please the other person

what do you want from the other person
I wonder if it's true when I hear it

Even if you don't touch me after a while
Rather than wanting to please you
It sounds like a formal inquiry.

In that case,
Even if a woman tells me what she wants
You may not expect very good results.

You won't know until you try it

It's My
