I Think Some Things Are 'Weird'

I have a friend.  He was divorced in the last year. He is in his mid-30's.  He is going with this new girl. They have not been dating very long. He has met the girl's parents only once. Yesterday, they invited him over to watch the SuperBowl with them. We told him he should 'take something'....you know, like pop, chips/dip...etc.  He did, but he also took a present for the Mother, a nice bill-fold.  I asked my wife what she thought about it. She thinks it is 'nice' jesture.   I say it is 'awkwardly-inappropriate'   at this stage of things. What do you think? And why do you think that? (My wife says I'm weird about such things).

(Do you think the Mother will think--he's sucking up?)  And, furthermore, what's he do for an 'encore'?

Where does this go?...it definitely aint sports...must be News

A real nice jesture would be if he was going to take something, actually have him or his wife make it themselves. People appreciate that sort of things even if its cheese grits because it shows they put some effort in showing appreciation for the invitation.

well, 'his wife' is the long-gone divorced one. And this guy can only make burgers and eggs. So, 'fixin something' for him is OUT.

If all he can cook is burgers and eggs maybe he should stick to buying things from a grocery store. If he can't cook food he can't grow it.

Coupla bags of chips would probably have sufficed - but that's how you tell a man has been married before (don't know how old this girl is) always take "MOM"..... SOMETHING - a 4 leaf clover, flowers, candy bar, bottle of Scotch, whatever, it doesn't matter - the "old man" will nod wearily in appreciation, you'll have a good start on her next homemade meal, and your gal will tell ALL her friends how THOUGHTFUL her new man is.....who's the victim?

Here is the equation to apply:

Thoughtfulness = Time X Knowledge

Where time is the amount of time you spend on putting forth an effort to impress and knowledge is indicated by you showing how much you know about her or her parents likes.
