My birthday present - The Guatemalan button

I saw the thing I wanted for my birthday but couldn't have it. The circumstances were just wrong. I didn't know how to ask for it. Neither did I have the audacity to let the words leave my mouth. This gift of which I speak is not a thing, per say, but a person. A guy who is as cute as a button :). For my birthday I wanted to sew him onto my dress and see if we would go well together. But how does one ask another to be a gift without wrapping? I guess guys do this kind of thing all the time, but women don't usually have much practice in the direct line of picking up men. What a shame though, because if he were female and I were male, I would definitely have at least asked for my wish.
