My new ish boyfriend just bought me an insanely expensive present. Do guys do this?

[ChrisMaster69]

Depends, if I feel like it, or more importantly what percentage of my spare cash I am spending.

when I was 20, it would be a fish supper and a bag of smarties.

now, yes not a problem as that a small % and not an issue.

disposable income is fairly important and % of it for the present.

a friend of mine is dating the CEO of a large tech company, he bought her a Mercedes C63S for Christmas, but for him it’s an couple hours work.

how many days of work did he need to do to buy the present?

[Nik1hil]

Haha...
That guy has got illegal money..

And doesn't wants to be accountable for that money.. Cannot put it in bank... But he can invest in getting your love..

Smart dude..
Or that guy's father gave him.. Or he has some other source

[Máiiréad]

Eeehhh red flags girl. I don't like that.

[NamerOfStars]

Clearly they do; at least this one does. It'd make me uneasy if I was in your place. I'd sit down and have a talk with him, letting him know that while you're grateful, he doesn't have to spend all his money on you to make you happy. That way, even if the relationship doesn't work out, there's less resentment.

Some do as they can and want to

N. b. One of my friends bought diamond bracelets for a few girls in our class he was interested in (not dating) for best part of £1,000 apiece... was about 3 days income for him

N. n. b my 2nd girlfriend offered to buy me a watch for £5,000 and I turned her down as I couldn't afford to reciprocate the gift, I wouldn't have earned it and had promised her father I wasn't after her money and it would look like I broke my pledge

[hhH2traveler]

Some guys do this, but its stupid if they can't afford it (and he might always get cheated, money doesn't always by an honest salesman). Also, if you accept these gifts, your kinda in the position where you owe him.

[SirJohn42]

I know id buy gifts but a reponsible man doesn't go beyond his means. Also maybe he's trying to buy you into a relatiinship. Either way its an immature move.

[TheFlak38]

he's insecure and tries to cover it with expensive gifts.

[Wise4myage]

If I were you, Id view that as a red flag. He's trying to buy your affection to make up for something he lacks.

[Still-alive]

Maybe he thinks that you’ll lose interest in him if he doesn’t do this.

[Angelo75]

Just assume he wants to give you the best.
He's a keeper.

[derdepedie301]

Yes if i really serious with her and in love with her i buy her really expensive gift

[UnknownGagsUser]

He probably like you a lot than his money

[Jmmmfi4]

trying really hard to impress you

[Lone_wolf122]

Some guys do...
