He's away at school, so I don't see him that often. He usually gives me somethings small, but I feel this is going to be a special date and I want to give or do something big for him.

How about a weekend trip? I know several couples who made a very special anniversary out taking a short (even one day) vacation to do something fun together, something that you know your boyfriend is interested in. I personally enjoy having the memories and the experience together better than having to buy them something material sometimes.

If there's an interest or hobby he has that you know of  try asking him to do something that he likes. If that happens he may be more open to you. And could be a fun date

invite him for coffee, for tea, for lunch.  show more care about him.  if he was more away. that means he doesn't deserve you.  otherwise, it means he likes you.  yes not necessarily so you have to take care and be always in the middle. hold the head of the robe.

Bribery might help, give him something to look forward to at the end of each nine weeks and if he does well you could take him on a mini trip or buy him a game he wants. Some kids are motivated in diff ways so don't worry it might be something personal in his life like friends or girls, hope all goes well!

i guess if you are still friends it's ok to give him a gift but make sure its a 'friend' kind of gift and not a boyfriend gift. make it something he will like but not too expensive, etc.

Call his parents and ask if you can bring something.  \n\nIf you show up with a dessert it could throw the planned dessert off.  See, they probably have their entire dinner planned and will feel obligated to serve whatever you bring just to be nice.  \n\nI think a nice bottle of wine for them to share later is a nice thank you gift.  Try that.

welcome to a mans world with the fear of rejection.  If you don't do anything now, you might pass up a great thing.  You never know until you do something about it.  Ask him if he wants to do dinner sometime.

I think his greatest gift would be to spend some time with you!  Take him out for a special dinner.

I would say something for the school would be good. Something decorative, like a small statue or a poster that would go with the school decorations. Either that, or if you know there's something he needs, that's okay. If you know something about his extra-martial arts life, you could get him something for that. But if you try to get him something Martial Arts related just for him, he's either already going to have it or he's not going to need it. All in all, I don't know that I like the idea though. As a Martial Arts teacher myself, I like to give out gift certificates to my students to give away as presents, but I don't expect presents from them, and I don't have a Christmas party for exactly that reason.

He's trying to feel you out and see what your like now since he hasn't seen you in awhile. You never know he might want to see if anything develops. Good luck!

Well, it sounds like maybe he needs a little prodding...maybe you should get him a gift that signifies something meaningful to the two of u, and then plan a night that he wont soon forget.

I think he should be grateful that you are thinking of him at all on Christmas. Send him a card and tell him what ou learned from your childhood.

yea i think its a day to show someone u love them anyone a friend a boyfriend girlfriend.  and both should get gifts or think of something but it's not all about the guy giving gifts i think it should be both ways.  now if the guy doesn't want u to get him something still get something.  i say it's wrong when girls just expect gifts and don't wanna give..  thats just a real bitch.

Don't be upset. You live and work with the guy and he tells you he cares about you and I'm sure he tells you that he loves you. V-day is a day for telling people you love them , not materialistic things that is hyped up to be. I'm sure he does things for you that make you happy, those moments count. He said that he will get you something on Friday. It is a work week and he just happens to be busy. It happens to all of us .Since you live together, do something romantic together, such as cook together or cuddle. I wouldn't worry.
