Who should buy the first present in a relationship?

I mean we've been together for a month and my girlfriend bought me a present before I got something for her. Do you think I should have acted before her? :( Is it too late now?

I find you to be so sweet and that’s what matters. Don’t focus on materials or culture but give her the biggest hug & tell her you Appreciate her. Women tend to give thoughtful gifts and we would get so bent when a guy seems not to care, she is showing you she likes you in her own way.

if it’s a shirt wear it in you next date and told her “ I had to wear this right away” that is better then receiving a gift right back. That will make her swoon. Think about how you show your love, show her your favorite place to relax, you a craftsmen make something for her, you see she’s having a hard day ask if you can rub her feet for her. All of those are gifts in different ways. Checking in with her and showing her your aware of what’s going on will make her sparkle 💖

It honestly doesn’t matter. I didn’t have much money when my boyfriend and I started dating so he always bought everything and I felt bad. So when I had a better income I started buying him everything and he got upset. So it just depends on the relationship

It's more appropriate to give gifts to your partner after you've been together for a few months. If you're exclusively dating each other, gifts are likely expected. Even if you aren't, a gift can still be a good idea if enough time has passed or you've hit certain early milestones, such as meeting friends and family.

Really, 40 and worrying about this instead of doing something sweet in response to her doing something sweet. And continuing in doing something sweet and her being able to connect the dots to her act noticing a continuing change in your Value level of her.

It doesn't matter. It's not va competition and no one loses when both people give from the heart. Maybe do something special for her instead? Just let her know you appreciate her.

Does it really matter? As long as you both show appreciation for each other and what you give shows them that you thought about them, then that should be all that matters. 😊

Don't base the relationship off of gifts, money, etc.

I buy my girlfriend presents on her birthday, Christmas and our Anniversary. If my birthday is between those times after we started dating.
