Romancing For Dummies, Period 1
"So today we're talking about love languages again." Look at that, Navaan starting right off! Good for you, boo. "Remember those? Yeah, well, the one we're talking about today is gifts! Because when all else fails, you can give stuff to people and they'll like you more. Maybe they'll like you at all! People like stuff and when you give them stuff, not only are you giving them something they like, probably more than you, but you're also showing them there's the possibility of getting more stuff in the future."
And who wasn't highly gift-motivated? Gray knew what she was talking about.
"Now, if you give them a gift and they still say no, it just means you didn't hit the gift threshold. Some people's gift threshold is very high, we call them high-maintenance and is that really something you need in your life? You're already doing romance, gods! Other people's gift thresholds are very low. They're easy and much more fun. Go for easy. But anyway, if you haven't hit the gift threshold yet, just keep giving. Try to vary it up a bit. Buy them something expensive, maybe that'll hit it and they'll let you hit it. Buy them a bunch of little things, see if they go for quantity instead of quality. Or, best yet, go for a lot of expensive things - best of both worlds. People have put out for less, trust me!"
Please just take her word for it.
"Now, for some relationships, again, it's easy. For purely transactional relationships, just exchange cash for services, there should be a list of services provided somewhere in the establishment. Ask the madam if you don't see it. For some more casual relationships, a few drinks will probably do it. Maybe a whole bottle if you're going with champagne. The more complicated relationships, you gotta get more creative. So, brainstorm or something, I guess."

As you do.
Re: Arts and Crafts!
"Probably something like this but I usually work on this kind of thing over time," she admitted.
Also the hands were awful.
