My girlfriend just recently graduated with her masters. She made a special effort to buy a gift and a thank-you card for two people who had helped her through the program. They helped with with projects and assignments and such.
The program involved a research course (not really relevant to the actual work she would eventually do, but necessary for program completion). She couldn't handle the research course when it came up in the program, so I did it for her over the three month period. All the assignments, web activities, and the final paper were done by me. She got an "A".
I could see feeling slighted. I think she's probably viewing them in a different category than you (friends or colleagues or something) and so she feels like she owes them something. That said, she definitely should be showing you some gratitude too, but maybe in a different way.
She didn't send you cards and gifts but her love and time and trusting you, that should have been a great reward. Her friends are not in your two circle show her needed to thank then that way. You she thanks by giving herself. What do you thank is better
Dude let her know how you feel. Don't be angry about it or anything and definitely don't be whiny about it. This leads to all sorts of things that will break the dam later on in the relationship. Set her down and say "I need to tell you something that has been troubling me". Let her explain her side of it. Let her know she doesn't need to give you gifts and such but that you feel a little left out. Also I agree with some of the other comments made, she probably has you in a different category than her other friends. Communication is the key but you have to talk to her now about it before it becomes a serious problem later on. Girls can be like guys in a way. While they appreciate what you did for them they don't know how it affects you unless you tell them. I would say wait a couple of days or so after the graduation thing has died down and see if she shows some appreciation towards you.
So she didn't show any appreciation towards you!? Maybe she's taking you for granted (this would be terrible news). Just tell her how you feel and see her response. You worked your ass off by the sounds of it. Don't turn it into an argument or anything, just express your feelings and drop it. A relationship needs to be 50-50, I hope she is contributing towards your happiness too.

Describe your ideal first date; Where do you go? What do you wear? How does the date end?
First dates are tricky. You want to impress but not go overboard. My ideal first date would start with dinner at a restaurant with an atmosphere where we can get to know each other. I'd wear a pair of jeans, a dark button down semi-casual dress shirt and a leather jacket just in case she gets cold. We'd go dancing after the date if she's up for it, after which I drop her off at her place.
Afterwards..what will your date know about you?
She'll hopefully know I'm not the worst dancer she's ever seen, that I have a good sense of humor, and that I'm a good guy. Other than that, you've got to keep yourself somewhat a mystery because if you spill your entire life story early on she's going to lose interest pretty quick. Hopefully, if everything goes well, she'll also know she can kiss me back by the end of the first date.
