What to do with a guy who doesn't really see the need in giving flowers or cards etc?

I am dating a very sweet, respectful guy. We just celeberated our one month anniversary. B/c it%26#039;s only been one month, I decided to make him a small, home made (personalized) card, as a nice gesture for the occassion. He did not give me a card or anything but did take me out and pay for a nice dinner. I do not mind NOT getting anything from him--as he did pay for dinner and it%26#039;s only been one month. However, some of my friends are telling me that he should have given me something (i.e. a card or gift or flowers etc). I would think that for more important milestones, my guy would actually do something, therefore I do not feel the need to make a scene over a month anniversary. Any thoughts on this scenario? Are my friends being overly critical or should I say something to my guy?

I%26#039;d say your friends all sound like border-line personalities and I would listen very carefully to all there expectations, ridicule, and controlling that way your new boyfriend will dump you and you%26#039;ll be back in the market looking for someone new in no time at all and then all your so-called friends will disappear!!!
Reply:if you want him to celebrate things like this you really need to tell him ahead of time in a nice, nonthreatening way. please don%26#039;t make him read your mind to find out things that are important to you
Reply:Don%26#039;t say anything to him...just continue to make him cards and do sweet little things like that for him. It%26#039;s still early on, and he may have cute stuff planned for later on in your relationship!


What would your friends have you tell him anyway, %26quot;hey, you need to buy me a card?%26quot; You cant demand thoughtfulness. I have learned this. You can set an example through your actions and hopefully he will follow your example.


I think your friends in this case are being overly critical, which makes sense because they love you!
