Never had that problem. I HAVE had the problem of going overboard, but the only times it was a problem was when I was more interested in the girl than she was in me. :P Otherwise, I never fail to make them swoon. Must be my charms. ;)
Must also be the Scorpio in me. I just can't do things half-assed, including gifts. ESPECIALLY gifts. Case in point: Secret Santa at one of my old jobs. I got my boss as my receiever. $10 limit, IIRC. I bought her a $25 glass rose from a store-stand in the mall we worked in. She loved it, even though she "scolded" me for spending so much on her (and the other women in the store were either impressed or envious... or both). Her b/f didn't approve. It became a running gag to taunt him endlessly whenever we could, and the glass rose became a favorite of ours. :D
Some men just have no security in their relationship. ;)
Oh, and I've NEVER had a girl receive expensive jewelry poorly. Nonchalantly, maybe, but never badly. But it sure has won me plenty of brownie points over the years. Especially with the friends (which are where you REALLY need to impress).
