For a New Boyfriend or Girlfriend (and You Don’t Want to Go Overboard)

“You could give him a nice shirt or a sweater, but no shoes,” says Halle. “Because they say if you give a man shoes, he’s going to walk right out of your life.” “And don’t give a man a watch, because he will waste your time,” adds Chloe.
