My mother used to do that to me all the time.  My gifts were never good enough, and every holiday I tried harder.  One day I realized I was spending a ridiculous amount of time and a really unreasonable amount of money trying to please someone who could not be pleased.  So I told her how I felt and that I was not doing it anymore AND I STICK TO IT.  Now I give her a small gift or a photo of myself for holidays, with a message telling her how much I love her and how much I appreciate having her in my life.  And I never let myself get manipulated into trying to "earn" her approval anymore, because she cannot appreciate a $250 blown-glass, one-of-a-kind, personalized glass ornament from England that I carried on my lap during a 36-hour flight any more than a $7 frame and picture ... but I sure feel less frustrated now that I did not put so much of myself into it!

GIRLS... Have you ever given your guy flowers? It sounds crazy but yes it is so sweet...\n\n2.) Have you ever tried giving him a large stuff toy? And yes again it is crazy but again it is so sweet...\n\n3.) How bout giving him a box of his fav chocolate? \n\nBottom line here is "YOU DON'T HAVE TO SPEND SO MUCH TO GIVE SOMETHING TO HIM" and "THOSES STUFFS ABOVE SEEMS SWEET IF A GUY GIVES IT TO A GIRL BUT IT IS MUCH SWEETER WHEN THE GIRLS GIVE IT TO THE GUYS" \n\nHope I was able to help

The fact that you said you "have" to buy him a present makes it sound more like an obligation than something out of the heart. How about just spending time together? That beats everything. But that's just me.

Flowers are nice. Depends on how secure he is and if he actually likes flowers. I like the thought behind the gift much more than the gift. If someone remebered that I said I liked something once. Or paid attention to things I like and got some (like Zero brand candy bars) Stuff like that. But that's just me.

Before he comes over, sprinkle red and white rose petals trailing from your front door, to the living room. Watch your-guyses fave movie together, and after that, go out to eat to a fancy resteraunt. I know it doesn't seem like a present to you, but it'll mean a whole lot to him <3 hope it works out!

My boyfriend totally catered to my every need for a whole weekend when I was fighting the flu-- looking my absolute WORST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL. He came over, did my grocery shopping, cooked for me (including homemade soup), rented us movies, made me tea, kept my Vicks Vaporizer running, walked the dog, AND cleaned up the kitchen! I know I looked horrible, but he didn't care. It was also the 1st time he told me that he was in love with me. I thought it was the most romantic and loving thing he could have done.

I had a similar boyfriend like you do - it is not as if he was stingy, he was just lazy, ignorant, and didn`t care for my feelings. After some time, we broke up, but I never did forgive him for not buying me b-day presents - it is not the present that is important, but the fact that the person who doesn`t buy ones have some deeper issues and doesn`t really match with my picture of ideal partner. You`ve been together for some time,I see,but better leave him now because he will never learn this lesson.Find another that will treat you nice! You deserve it, be aware of that!!!

It isn't a good thing to try and "get" your boyfriend to buy you gifts, he should do it spontaniously because he wants to, to show you affection. It maybe be that he doesn't understand that buying things like that for you is a good way to show you affection, or it may be that he doesn't have alot of money to be throwing around. Either way, if he really loves you, you should love him back on the basis of who he is, not what he does for you. Make sure that you aren't being insecure and needing "things" to make you satisfied with your relationship. If so, that's not love, it's selfishness.\n\nThat being said, if he is just being cheap or inconsiderate, then he is in the wrong and you should talk to him about it. Still, don't demand gifts, don't be pushy, don't be mean about it; just tell him how you feel and also listen to his side of the story. He may have a good reason after all, or he may not. If it turns out he is the one who is just being selfish, and he doesn't get over it, you may want to find yourself a new boyfriend. But for just a specific thing like flowers, that may not be his style, and you shouldn't get upset over it.

When you catch him just looking at you. When he'll go out of his way to do things for you. When he hugs you even more. When he seems to miss you when he hasn't seen you for a while. When he'll ditch his friends for you every now and then (NEVER expect anyone to do this all the time, you wouldn't do it for him, so why should you expect him to do it for you?) When he mentions you to his parents/siblings/exes/friends. When he asks his friends what they think of you. If you notice a few of these signs, he's smitten. Never be afraid to say I love you first though. If you feel it, say it. Don't expect him to say it back. Just let him know, and when he's ready he'll say it back. I told my boyfriend I loved him after only 3 weeks, then went travelling for 5 weeks. He was falling in love but not quite there, and he did the right thing by not lying and saying it. When I came home and he said it back to me a few days later, it was one of the happiest moments I can remember. We're still together 7mths later. Good luck!

I did this for our first married christmas.  If you remember what he told you he always wanted when you first started dating (if you have not already bought this for him of course) get that for him.  He will be really impressed that you remembered and you went out and bought it.  \nExample: When we first started dating, he told me he always wanted a pocket watch after seeing the one my mother gave my father for their wedding present.  Two christmas's later, I bought a stunning silver pocket watch with our initials engraved in it.  He was so touched by the fact that I remembered, the watch really did not matter anymore.   \nIf you cannot think of something like that, plan something that would mean a lot to him, even if you are not too thrilled about it.  Sometimes, even though you do not think you would like something like that, you find that both of you are having the time of your lives!

Remember, it's not the cost of the gift that matters!  If your boyfriend truly loves you, he will be pleased with whatever you give him.  It is so sad that the world we live in dictates that we should spend large sums of money to try and impress those we care for.  Don't buy into that mentality.  Do your best with what you have.

I buy my guy friends gas gift certificates, beer, and then give them a stocking full of candy and assorted junk food.\n\nIf it's for a boyfriend, maybe there's a concert coming up? You could dheck on ticketmaster and see if any of his favorite bands are touring.

That is perfect. I know how awkward gift buying for your guy can be especially if you havent been together too long...but yes the watch will be great! Merry Christmas!

You can't buy love. Maybe he does like you. Constantly receiving gifts causes guilt and stress. You could end up chasing away a friend.
