How would you feel if a woman you were interested in/talking to long distance sent you money for your birthday?

We’ve never met in person but I had initially planned to be there for his birthday, but I can’t make the trip. I want to send him like $150 for his birthday, since I can’t celebrate with him. I don’t want to send too much and come off as a sugar mama.

Would it be insulting as a guy to receive $150 as a birthday gift from a lady you have romantic interest in?

Depends on the person, personally I wouldn't feel comfortable taking that person's money, and I don't want people feeling the need to gift me anything, in the situation I probably would've finessed it with "you are the best gift I can ask for" and that would be how I'd slither myself out of that situation 😂

Hmmh. In reality it is hard to pick gifts for people. My sister and I started to give lists of what we'd like and it was sort of surprising as neither of us would have thought of what was on our wanted/needed list.

I think you might be better sending a gift card rather than direct depositing into a bank account or mailing some bills. It's much the same but feels more gift-like.
