Search Results: valentines day gift for a guy

Before you call me a selfish spoiled brat, please hear me out. I have a crush on this guy and vice versa. I bought him a gift and he did not so much as say Happy Valentine's and no gift. I am beyond angry. It could be more issues and that was the straw that broke the camel's back. It is very hard for some of us women to watch other women get flowers and candy. I get to sit there and watch their happiness. I feel happy for them but I feel a big whole in my heart at the same time. It hurts. In my mind, I equate it with how much he loves me. Help. Thanks

So I spend 4 hours making my boyfriends gift for Valentine's Day, I was so excited to give it to him and see what he had planned for us. Well he didn't plan anything for us, he met up with me for like 30 mins and handed me a card... Mind you we are in our 30s! I understand love isn't about gifts and doing stuff but he also didn't do anything for my birthday or Christmas, would never plan a date (like at all) and if I planned a date I was always paying for it. So today after getting the card, I dumped him.

Was as a I wrong to dump a guy who I always felt like I had to do more for? A guy who I felt like didn't appreciate me and took me for granted?

Started talking to this guy 2 months ago. We are exclusive , yet have not started calling each other boyfriend and girlfriend but I'm pretty sure that it's right around the corner. We talk every night for hours and have had conversations about commitment, family, kids, when one of us will move closer to the other, etc. In short, I feel our connection is strong and that we are both ready to be fully committed to each other.

We are about 2 hours away from each other and when I've gone to see him, he's paid good money taking me out, paying for drinks, etc (like a $100 or more per date). I have paid for a date once but it was a $30 pizza date at his house as a celebration for him passing a major certification test in his field and he bought the wine. He's driving this weekend to see me and take me out to dinner for Valentine's Day.

So, today I was thinking about how much he LOVES soccer and how I've never seen a professional soccer game. I thought how cool would it be to get him tickets to a soccer game between our local team (of which he's a fan) and their rival. Our local team plays in my city.

I found really great seats for this game and they're $100 a piece. The game isn't for another month, so we'd together for 3 months at that point. I feel excited for the game just for myself, but I hesitate to buy tickets because of stigma about women buying men gifts too soon.

Thoughts? Would it be a fun, sweet gesture for a woman to buy you tickets to see a game with you? Would that set up a weird masculine-feminine dynamic?

I was thinking of maybe agreeing on not buying each other anything becouse I'm really not a big fan of the whole gift thing. But if its important from a guy's perspective I'll be willing to. If you think its important what kind of gift?
