Should a girl get her boyfriend something for Valentine's day even if she thinks that her boyfriend will not give something to her

[lilyanony1]

I sent him a secret admirer card... He hasn't mentioned it, so I assume that he didn't get it and I got his address wrong. Or he got it but doesn't want to address it since he already said he doesn't celebrate valentines day.
Or isn't sure the secret admirer is me since we aren't really together anymore

[Cynicaldreamer]

Yeah, why not?
What's with the whole, "quid pro quo" of giving gifts for Valentine's day? If you love him and want to do something nice for him, do it! It shouldn't be, "Oh he's not getting me anything, so I'm not getting him nothing." That's just silly.

Nor should you get him something just to make him feel guilty for not getting you something.

[Guy2809]

No one HAS TO do it, but if that is something that you want to do and that you feel you want to do, you can, as well as he can if he feels like he wants to. It is more about doing it because you are the type of person who does caring things because you care, than about doing it because its a day you HAVE to.

[Alex8736]

if she is into him yes but if he doesn't reciprocate then it usually means he isn't into her and she should start looking elsewhere for a new guy or just be single and focus on her goals and ambitions in life without anyone or anything holding her back. life is too short

[SnowedIn]

YES!!!

Gifts are NOT transactional (you give me one I'll give you one or you first then me or if/then). Come on. If it's in your heart, give the gift.

Always treat a partner the way you want to be treated.

[Guy13]

nah, save the money for birthday which has meaning.

[Red-Blaze]

Yes!
Its not about getting something in return its about using the excuse of the day to show some effection
So if you like them you should show it if you feel it

[Adam1978]

You should give gifts because you want to, not because you expect one in return.

[molonski2]

Sure , if she believes in the day , it certainly should not be conditional on receiving something in return.

[cryscrys1]

Ya all Valentine’s Day isn’t mandatory
It’s up to you don’t think too much about it

[ariadneR]

Absolutely. Why am I only doing things because I expect something back. That's not the way things are supposed to be.

[Ms_Facesitter]

It's about love... showing affection which can be done in many ways... not whether or not someone buys the other a gift.

[NostalgiaSenpi]

If you want, do it. If not, don't. I don't get the whole obligation to buy things

[Iron_Man]

Yes she should. You’ll probably get something after he receives it.

[serious_miss419]

Do it if u want to but don’t bring comparisons into it. Simply do the kind gesture or don’t

[captain_voidwalker]

Wait women get men things for valentines day since when has this ever been a thing

[Anonymous]

Personally, i always go by the mindset “if you wanna give something to someone, give it without expecting a gift from them”

[Anonymous]

Do you love him? Then you should

[Ella2522]

That’s cool

[Anonymous]

Sure because that's I'm doing
