Search Results: present for his birthday

We have been very close friends and recently started hooking up, but he was not into commitment and I told him that I can't continue being his friend after his rejection.

I haven't heard from him for 2 weeks now, but I sent him a bday gift he is going to receive tomorrow. Nothing cheesy or expensive, no birthday card or anything, just something very thoughtful that he'll definitely know is from me (as it refers to an insider joke).

Would you be weirded out by this and think of the girl as pathetic? Or would you appreciate it and start talking to her again?

My birthday is coming up and I have a bit of an awkward situation. There are two events that Friday night: 1) my boyfriend's friend's housewarming party and 2) a party/wake (it's at a bar) for a guy my boyfriend went to high school and middle school with. Both events start at the same time.

Now I don't really care overly much about my birthday. I don't make a fuss or demand presents, or care about having a party for me, but both of these situations would be awkward for me because it's my birthday.

The housewarming party is strange because I would kind of have to keep my birthday a secret. it's so rude to come to a party and be like "hey it's my birthday! pay attention to me now!".

The wake/party would be pretty sad. I've also never met the guy or even heard his name until I heard of his death. I don't want to be unsupportive of my boyfriend (who doesn't seem upset), but I also wouldn't want to intrude on his remembrance with his family and friends, especially since I won't be in the mood to be somber.

What should I do? Go to both events for a bit? Go to neither? Either way, I feel like I'm not really allowed to have my birthday. I also don't want to offend my boyfriend. He says it's up to me. I don't know what to do. Help?
