I'm not the kind of woman who has to be given a gift when the man I'm in a relationship with, has done me wrong, that his way of saying sorry is some jewelry like a pair of diamond hoop earrings or something.
But I would certainly never say no to a gift like that.
I do think that some men out there are totally clueless though when it comes to being romantic, saying sorry, asking the woman they are totally in love with, to marry them.
I guess that's a good reason to offer those men some advice for times like that.
I always have found it funny when a woman will put her man on the spot in front of their mutual friends, at like a party or something, and as a way to show everyone that he really loves her, she'll ask him questions to see if he pays attention to her, knows her as well as he claims to, things like are her ears pieced, her favorite color, what side of the bed she prefers to sleep on, if she drinks coffee, tea, or soda to get going in the morning, and stuff like that.
I've seen guys who really do know their woman very well, could tell you her morning routine right down to the second, and I've seen some other guys who have been dating a woman for over a year, totally blow it and not know much of anything about her, not even her favorite color.
About 2 years ago, I got to see a man who knew his girlfriend so perfectly, knew everything about her, knew what her favorite shape was, and even knew which jewelry designer she loved, that when he proposed to her, he had gone to her favorite local jeweler, specifically asked for her favorite designer, and then asked to see all of the rings in her favorite shape.
Every one of us women who were there the night he proposed, were amazed at how well he knew her, we all 'oohed' and 'ahhed' over the perfect-for-her-ring, and every man who was there, realized they had better step up their game and start learning all of that about their girlfriends if they were ever going to propose them.
The ring was truly perfect, he knew it would be because he paid attention to her, knew everything about her, he either remembered all of the important dates in her life, or he wrote them all down, but it showed that he paid attention to every smallest detail.
It was a really beautiful proposal too, I don't think there was a dry eye among any of us, the guys included.
I think that if a guy doesn't know things about the woman he's in a relationship with after 6 months, things like her favorite color, her birthday, if her ears are pierced or not, that he's probably never going to.
But if a guy is truly serious about her and just has a terrible memory, he needs to find ways to remember all of those things, write them down, get a calendar or small blank notebook, and start keeping track of those things, write them all down in that little book, her birthday, the dates of their 6 month and 1 year anniversaries, their wedding anniversary when they do get married, if they have kids, their birthdays, mother's day, Christmas, and the dates of graduations if she goes back to college, or gets a promotion etc.
If he knows these things and surprises her with even just remembering and/or maybe a little gift to go with some of those dates, she will always be happy.
Nothing annoys a woman more than a man who doesn't remember all of the important dates in her life.
Most of my girlfriends say this, that it's the not remembering things that drives us crazy.
I know that it's that way for me, I just want to know that he knows, that he hasn't forgotten the important dates in our relationship, and I'm totally happy.

Absolutely. I think not bothering to get to know anything about your significant other, despite how good or bad your memory is, is basically like saying "You'll do until someone I find interesting and worth getting to know comes along." At least if someone is making an attempt to learn things, that says a lot.
