Recently I sent my (LDR) ex g/f a gift I'd made her for Valentine's (we broke up before V-day) ... and she called to say she loves it/to thank me for it.

... to make this short(er) - I want to go visit her later this summer but I'm wondering how/when I should mention my idea/plans to her without making my gift seem like a bribe ? like I had an ulterior motive for being so nice ...?

A female reader, Minelisse Puerto Rico +, writes (13 June 2008):

Minelisse agony auntTry being very casual and almost as if she brought it up. For example: "what are you doing over the summer", "it would be nice to see you", "we never went to X in your town". This are very subtle hints that should lead her to plan something out with you, if she doesn't then I wouldn't bring it up. Women are very intuitive and if you hint her and there is no reaction that means she is not that interested and you insisting would definitely be pushing her and be consistent with your bribing concern.

Good luck!
