Awh! Well from experience, I'd say it's best to buy the gear yourself, it makes for a cleaner exit
I'm sure if you want a guy who fishes, you'll have your pick of the pack... It seems alot of guys are looking for a girl to fish with, and think bliss awaits if that simple interest can be found...
I have to add caution to that; fishing is the least of your concerns, a sucessful relationship is all about how personalities come together and communication, not to mention mental and spiritual attraction.
The physical is important, but beauty fades, and you have to look inside that other person to see what you're going to be left with for life...
Once you find that person, your whole life will be complete, and there will be no more questioning or doubting... You just know.
Hang in there girfriend, the right guy(s) are out there somewhere, you just have to keep your eyes open for when they do indeed arrive...
