Tell him it is important to you to get romantic things like a valentines day gift. It may not be important to him and he may not realize it is important to you.

Try to find out what her favorite things to do are and then surprise her and plan a day or night filled with those things. I.e. hiking, ice skating, going to a museum, watching her favorite movie, cooking, ordering in, or taking out for her favorite meal...or make a little memory scrap book with pictures of the two of you and ticket stubs etc. from places you went together. Send her a letter or card as a surprise in the mail (snail mail). For my bf's b-day I made a treasure hunt....I wrote his first clue out & put it on his car window before he saw me. Then the next clue was to go to the local library and look in a particular section & open a particular book for the next clue/direction (pick a book that most people wouldn't be interested in to make sure it won't be checked out by the time she gets there). I taped another clue in a store window etc. I had like 8 clues in different public areas and then the last clue should lead her to her present. Or go out on a hike and take pictures together outdoors, make her something oringinal i.e. a cd, a meal, something artistic etc. Make her a care package with some of her favorite things in it. Pick up on little details, things that are important to her and do them.  Some of these things take planning but it's worth it to see the smile on her face....good luck.

How about making him a c.d of songs you think he would like? It's technically not buying him anything, but it's still a thoughtful gift. How about making him dinner or taking him on a picnic? Maybe he just wants to hang out with you. Make a card for him and tell him you'll give him a backrub or take him somewhere he likes to go. It's the little things that seem to be the best gifts. :)\n\nGood luck!

Invite him to your place.  After your candle light dinner, wrap yourself in red ribbon and ask him to come & get it.  Get his present, that is....................................

this year i got my boyfriend a really nice watch. in the past i've given him framed photos of us. one time he gave me an engraved photo album filled with pics of us, you can try this too. or you can try to find something with a lot of meaning behind it, like a gift that somehow reminds you of how you too first met. you could buy him tickets for his favorite baseball team or tickets to a concert for a band he loves.

You have to decide if you are worth more than the gifts that your boyfriend buy for you! If you deserve more than that, than don't allow the gifts be a deciding factor in if you are going to continue this relationship. \n\nIf you care about the guy, let him know I am sure he would rather you tell him and you guys discuss where your relationship is headed than you sitting around thinking about cheating on him.

It really depends on how serious the relationship is. A great gift for any boyfriend would be a cd of his favorite artist or group or a t-shirt from his fave name brand. Something simple and thoughtful will do the trick.

play your strengths my dear. are you a painter? paint him something really creative. do you cook well? bake him a dessert youve heard he likes. what will say 'i love you' is that your gift is thoughtful. when drawing inspiration for making the gift, try to think back about all that he's told you about himself and incorporate that idea into your final product. if you put thought and effort into it he will for sure be pleased.\none really cool thing this guy did for me was write me a song and played it for me on guitar. anything that you make and personalize will be extremely meaningful. good luck!

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.

Just think about what your boyfriend (I mean "her" boyfriend) likes.\n\nJust write him a poem. Give him something sentimental... something that you KNOW he will love. Anything that you make him he will love. I mean... anything your "friend" makes.\n\nlol.

Wait a minute.  Why do you have to buy him anything?  If you guys aren't even together yet then don't worry about getting him a gift even if he did get you one.  But if you must get him something, since you aren't dating yet, I would suggest a gift certificate to one of his fav stores or restaraunts.  You could put it inside a card or a box of chocolate.  Also, guys love food so you could bake him some cookies or brownies.  Go cheap.  He probably doesn't expect you to get him anything anyway.

I couldn't really think of something for you to get your boyfriend, but I think it'd be cool if you got his mom and/or dad too something. Nothing big but like a candle or something. That'd be cool. I bet they'd appreciate it.

Whenever I'm in that situation (for anyone, not just boyfriends) I make a list of everything they like to do. Try to be as specific as possible. As you're making the list you might start to come up with some possible ideas. My new-ish boyfriend (who buys everything he wants and is consequently extremely difficult to shop for) just had a birthday and I did the same thing for him. The list was ridiculously long, but I ended up buying him season 1 of Stella, an incredibly stupid sitcom that lasted only 10 episodes. Anyway, he absolutely loved it. He said that it was one of the most thoughtful gifts anyone had ever bought him and that he wouldn't even have thought of buying himself that. So give it a try-- maybe you'll come up with the perfect gift! Good luck!

Hi,  you just need to tell your guy you love him, and he is the one for you.  Presuming you haven't set a date for the big day then suggest a day but also take him somewhere special that you both like and spoil him like no other day and then make passionate love in a hotel or something - be original and spontaneous and he will be a happy bunny but if decide to make love then ensure he has contraception if not sure about babies etc.

I take it that it’s for a girl since your name is Ivan. The best Valentine's Day gift comes from the heart. I love the gifts my boyfriend has given me that let me know he pays attention to the things I like. For example, he once gave me a book by my favorite author; I didn't think he knew who my favorite author was! \nYou can never go wrong with flowers and a card; better yet write her a poem. \nYou can also get creative and give her a giant fortune cookie! You can special order it and they will print out whatever fortune you want. http://www.goodfortunes.com/ it’s fun and creative. Also depending on your budget of course, most girls love jewelry! It doesn't have to be 2 karat diamond. \nYou can surprise her with a romantic dinner either at a nice restaurant you know she likes or maybe somewhere you've been meaning to go. A surprised HOME cooked meal is even better! Go all out with candles and rose petals all over the place. \nAnother idea would be a surprise picnic during the day! Get a nice bottle of wine, some chocolate covered strawberries, maybe some cheese and crackers. That's something most people don't expect on Valentine's Day. \nYou options are endless! And you can do something fabulous for her on any budget.\n\nGood luck and Happy Valentine's Day.

Yes, my boyfriend is the same way and he hates suprises.  So, it's boring, but I just ask him what he wants and get him exactly what he tells me.  Sometimes I get a smaller gift also that is just a little something extra that I know he might want to go along with it.  So, then there's still a little element of suprise.

YES. Either that or hint to him by getting him a gift like Axe cologne or soemting.\n\nPewee!
