highlyevolved Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 The guy im seeing I spent around 100$ on an easter gift for him (I wanted to buy him something nice anyway - easter is just a nice excuse to do it). I got him this boxset that he's wanted for a while and some love heart chocolate. Now he said he wasnt getting anyone anything for easter which Im fine with - I just want him to be happy. Do you think it's a bit much? The boxset, the love heart chocolate. We are not officially a couple. I don't want to embarrass him but I also want to know how much he means to me..

Its nice to give gifts to those we care for. I'd probably not spend the amount you have on someone I wasn't officially seeing.
Disintegration Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 I'm sure he will be pleased by your thoughtful gesture. I've never really heard of sentimental gifts being given out on Easter, just the usual easter baskets filled with candy. Seems like that would be more for v-day, but I think it will be a great surprise for him. Just remember he has to meet you half way, don't keep buying him gifts if he isn't doing the same in return. Have a happy Easter, maybe this will be a step in the right direction and you will be an official couple come Sunday!
make me believe Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 How long have you been together? I've never gotten my bf an easter gift and wouldn't really think to, except maybe a cutesy basket filled with candy or something. OH I just noticed that you're not even officially a couple. Ok, I think it's way too much in that case. You're being very thoughtful, but "love heart" chocolate for somebody who isn't even your boyfriend??
2sure Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 If you are not officially a couple, the last thing you want to do is put him on the spot and make him feel obligated to you. Thats what an reciprocal expensive romantic gift does to a man not in a committed relationship. And as such : obligation = kryptonite. Give him the chocolate for easter. Give him the set a week later, for no reason at all.
jthorne Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 If the gifts are simply to show appreciation (meaning you REALLY aren't hoping for something in return, which I kinda doubt), then the holiday is a mute point. But since the candy is holiday candy, it would be appropriate to give for Easter. The box set... I have questions about. If you really aren't expecting something in return, if this gift is truly from your heart and you will be fulfilled just seeing him happy to receive the gift, then give it to him right now. If you are giving it to him to show him that you have romantic feelings for him that you'd like reciprocated, I'd wait until the relationship has progressed a little more.
whichwayisup Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 100 bucks is ALOT of money to spend on someone that isn't your boyfriend.. Showing appreciation is one thing, going all out is another. What if you make him feel uncomfortable? Even more so since he said he isn't giving gifts. Honestly, I think it's too much, and too soon. And it might freak him out, or make him feel like he's now obligated to you, or he owes you something big in return for your bday or Christmas.. Go smaller and more simple, something thoughtful yet less expensive.
Author highlyevolved Posted March 30, 2010 Author Posted March 30, 2010 It's not just dating. We've been friends for quite a while before we've started to see each other. And we stay in each others beds But no, it was my birthday just recently and he just got me something small but yeah, it can't be bad to be generous right?
alphamale Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Do you think it's a bit much? The boxset, the love heart chocolate. We are not officially a couple. since you're not a couple you shouldn't give him anything. and anyways easter is not a time for gift giving.
