What do you expect from your boyfriend for your birthday? (Page 2)

[kaylaS91]

... I got sushi dinner and visiting a strip club together for my last birthday, after we'd been together for almost a year. Which was more than enough for me. I don't 'expect' anything from him, aside from maybe acknowledging that it's my birthday.
I don't look at him as my cash cow, after all.

well ONLY 6months your lucky y got that AND u wanted that fleece so he got it for u AND dinner YEAH he is doing good for u DONT be greedy for were u after HIM or his wallet... what did U want him to get u? Plus guys aren't that GREAT at knowing what to buy for female gifts anyway so BE HAPPY NOT GREEDY... he sounds like a good bf!

I only expect him to remember it and spend time with me. He doesn't have a whole lot of extra money, being on disability and all. Our birthdays are a day apart, so all I ask is for his time. Be grateful for what he got you. He didn't have to get you anything.

I bought my ex-girlfriend a 145 dollar present for her birthday when we had only been together 4 months. It was a Rock Band 2 kit for Xbox 360 to replace the one her ex from way back when destroyed. She toled me she was actually a little bit creeped out by me doing so much so soon and felt I was pressuring her to move too quickly by buying her something that expensive.

I don't know I would just want something thoughtful really and it would be best if he didn't even have to ask me 'what do you want for your birthday' – If I would do a good job at choosing my partner they wouldn't need to ask me because they'd know me well enough.. but this is just the ideal of a girl who's actually single :)

I would just expect his time, attention, and care to make the day special. I'd like him to do it in his own way, it can be very simple or complicated I don't mind. It makes it more personalized and meaningful. I care less about a gift. I also wouldn't be mad if my birthday had to be celebrated a different day due to schedules. Not a big deal.

Been together for 6 months and already not satisfied with a jacket, dinner and movie? What do you expect for your 10 year anniversary? A fucking island?

Quit being such an entitled princess, little girl. Be glad he even remembers and gives you anything. You're not in a position to expect that much from him. Ask your daddy instead. Or work your ass off.

I don't really care what he gets me as long as he's there on my birthday.

Last year my boyfriend bought me a box of chocolates and a mug with our pictures on it. I still use the mug on a daily basis, the box of chocolates have long since been devoured lol but at end of day I wouldn't have cared if he got me nothing. I just wanted to have him around for that day.

i think thats a perfectly reasonable gift... it's not nice to expect gifts lol.
the little things make life sweet.
i would be happy with just hanging out with him and getting some dinner.

I feel like everyone is bashing you but I know how you feel my ex boyfriend always bought me nice things to show he cared. Pearls, promise ring etc. It's normal and I'm not even a legal adult yet I don't know what bums these girls are crashing with where they aren't receiving nice gifts but if you're worth it and he cares about you then he won't mind spending the money. That's not to say your boyfriend doesn't care about you or anything as I'm sure he does but this is my opinion.

Since you dropped like 2 bills for him on his bday (yes i read other comments before just calling her a cunt), it's understandable to notice he spent about half on you, but we just need to understand those are our ugly thoughts, even though they're perfectly natural. Dinner, movie and a thing you wanted is a pretty good deal and the real love is expressed in how special he tries to make you feel on your birthday, not monetary value ;)

Just a quiet night, the two of us.

But hey, I say that as a single Lady, so maybe it'd be different if I was in a relationship. ^^

[CHARismatic110]

I don't need anything extravagant. Him being thoughtful and doing something that he knows I like would be cool.

"What do you expect... I was just expecting a little bit more..."

Grow up. He owes you NOTHING.

Perhaps that ridiculous sense of entitlement is why men want nothing to do with women today.

[Sara413]

Upvoted before reading the part where you generalized about women. We're not all like that you know. A lot aren't actually. .

[dwarfgiraffe]

I have to say I thought that was quite generous! However, it really depends on his financial state, of course.

[onewoundedgal]

I wouldn't mind dinner, movies and a gift. As long as his behind ain't making up for something he could have done which is unfaithful.

[mackrose]

You are a brat. Better change this spoiled and entitled attitude you seem to have or i doubt he's going to be around for another birthday of yours darling. Learn to appreciate

[JayneW]

I am happy if my efforts are reciprocated, I don't expect him to spend more than I would spend on him. I would rather come home to a meal prepared, chores done and nothing planned for the evening except time together than anything of high value!

What did you want a car or a house... He bearly is dating you... I would understand at least 2 years but 6 months lol... He spent money on you... Do you know how hard it is to earn money busting your azz of for 9$ an hour especially in a wear house.. Be happy with what he gave you... Maybe he should of just wished you a happy birthday and gave you a hug

[Opinion Owner]

Plus he probably has trust issues you know giving your all to a girl an then she just betrays you... Just be patient he will show you his true love but show you'd and in time he will trust you more... Just be happy and appreciate what you have stop looking at what you don't have

[ginnyweasley]

just spending quality time with him is good enough i won't want my boyfriend to buy me anything because if i want something i will buy it myself from him i would only expect experiences and some quality time together
