I occassionally (maybe every 2 months) send my long-distance boy little gifts to let him know i think of him.  Like a packet of chips he likes, or a book he wanted.  Do guys like this, or do they consider it obsessive?  \n(he doesn't send me things himself.  I have only done it twice before.)

I think boys like gifts if it is a sweet one like a kiss from pretty.....

I know how that is...my boyfriend lives 9 hours away from me! \nThe most important thing is staying i contact, call each other as much as possible, say little cute things all the time, send each other things in the mail, little surprises to let each other know your thinking about them. I send my boyfriend cookies and letters all the time, the little things truely make all the difference.

send him a card and that's it   ,,,,,,,,,,,no matter how close you are it sounds like to me that he needs to grow up.......he need to be grateful that you are sending him anything

A lot of guys... not all, but a lot of them seem to act immaturely until they are at least 24 when they realize that they can't get by with it. With the e-mail thing I think he was testing you to see if you would send her anything. He may want to make you jealous who knows with guy because he seems a little off the walll with oh I have a girlfriend and then treatens you. Not a good thing just watch your back, he may not be a friend any more.

Hard to be friends with someone who will not share their interiors. It is in being open and disclosing with others that the bonds of trust and friendship strengthen. Not replying to emails, saying that you sent too many (especially if they were personal ones) sounds pretty small-minded and needy to me.\n\nI think that friendship and communication are possible only between equals. It sounds to me like he was treating you not like an equal but like something like a dependent, a child. In that case, and remember we do  not know your relationship with this guy that well, I would say to keep your distance.\n\nGuys are funny (not laughable, but strange) in the United States. They grow up very late, if they grow up at all. They are sort of like dogs: wolves that do not mature. BTW, did you know that? Wolves have almost the same genes, dogs are the permanent juvenile form, though. Anyway, guys remain little boys: needy, whiney, and very self-centered. Your former friend seems like that is his case.\n\nLive well and show him that he made a great mistake in ignoring you. You are well-worth paying attention to. \n\nThat is my considered opinion.

I think that is a really nice idea - besides, that way you know that the person/people receiving it are needy. And you can witness their joy from afar when you know who recieved the gift. What a thoughtful gift.

~No, I think that is very sweet.. especially since he loves to star gaze.  If he didn't love to do that, it might be a little weird.  I think it's very thoughtful though and you should do it.~

I know how you feel... Two of my biggest hits for low-cost heartfelt presents have been: 1. I wrote a "book", which doesn't have to be big, on how they make me feel, the things I love about them, it was like a journal directed at them and about them.  And suprisingly, he loved it... but I think this is for a more serious type of relationship with a mature guy who isn't afraid of feelings.\n2. I created a scrapbook, full of pictures from our time together.  Then I made notes occasionally about how happy I was at that moment, or how great a time we had.  I also included in ticket stubs from concerts or movies... and the little stuff that we keep for whatever reason.  It was a way that we could both look back and see where we came from.\nHope this helps some!

Girls can get guys whatever they feel like.  My sister was having the same problem worrying about what he will think blah blah blah.  Dont worry, guys dont look at gifts the same as girls.  Relax, go out, get whatever you think he will like that will remind him you got it for him.  Good luck.

This is interesting.  Sounds like a one way relationship there.  I am sorry but gifts should not be asked for, they should come from the heart of the person buying them.  A gift is a gift is a gift it should be given out of love not pressure.  Don't feel bad.  There is definately some selfishness going on and you need to decide whether you want to live the rest of your life in a relationship like that.

I always have this problem too. What I usually will do is get him a gift certificate-this year its $100 to Best Buy. I actually think that is what it was last year too LOL or maybe it was $50 last year anyway...but for him its the perfect gift. And that way I do not buy him something his family members have already gotten him or he already got himself. I will also have him pick out one thing that I will just hand him. And then will get him something smaller wrapped too.

Oh I hate it when people do that - it's creepy. Just ask him straight out. You want to know, after all... If it's the guy you like sending you stuff, then that's awesome! If it's not, then you can say something like, oh good, it's kinda creepy to not know who it's from and you don't seem like a creepy kinda guy... you know, use it to start a conversation...

I have had a few long distance relationships... \n\nThey all lasted pretty long and ended by my choice not his.\n\nI would keep it going my always doing something thoughtful.  The best ways is to listen to what he needs.\n\nOnce I knew his watch broke, I bought him a new watch, and then to make it extra special I had the back engraved with "Thinking of you every second".\n\nI felt that the most impressive things I did were based off of things that he mentioned, or said he liked in passing.  Listen to the little things and work from there.\n\nSending flowers is nice- but how about sending flowers after he said he had a bad day, and then in the card wishing him a better day than the one before.... that has such a bigger impact!

Thats bc he love the gift you gave he.Things like that make people's day. He may like you too and do not know how to tell you. Talk to him, tell him whats on your mind. Good Luck

Why don't you send him some of his favorite things from home. Like a care package. Some of the things he can't get where he is. Also buy a miss you card and get some of his favorite people to sign it - leaving him a little note. He will love a bit of home.

infatuation. it happens a lot on the internet, because people can edit what they say before they send it. you don't know what he's really like, because he can say whatever he wants to you...he can even lead you on without fear of repercussions. there's always a chance that this boy is actually worthwhile, but more often than not, he'll just be some jerk looking for a way to pass the time. be careful with this dude...but good job on finding a friend. \n\nif i were you, i'd be friends with him and leave the romantic stuff closer to home, if that's possible for you?\n\ngood luck.

My husband loved when I would send him Gatorade.  He also liked trail mix.  Pictures are alway nice too.  If he smokes, send him cigarrettes.  Although I hated that my husband used to smoke, I knew he needed those cigs.  Also, chewing gum, for the times he couldn't smoke.\n\nI also sent things that weren't supposed to be sent...like "adult" mags.  \n\nHave fun putting together the package :)
