 |
|
| My boyfriend is the type that remembers everything from the one-week to the one-month and all the little things in between. It's really sweet that he cares that much, but I'm not really the mushy, celebrate-every-teeny-thing type. He's practically beaming about our one-month "mensiversary", in two days, and I have no idea whether I should do anything for it or just mention it and move on. It's weird to me not to know the answers to these questions, because we'd been really close friends for a few years before we were together.As an example of this - when we'd been together for one week, he gave me a sand dollar that he'd found on the beach with his sister (finding a whole sand dollar, he explained, is pretty rare, so it was special to him). I on the other hand did pretty much nothing. I mean, the gesture was perfect and appreciated, and I love how sweet he is, but it really didn't seem like that big of a deal to me. |

| Sounds like opposites attract in your case. But I don't see anything wrong with it. |

| It does not have to make sense. If the person truly loves you or likes you they are going to do what ever to make you happy. That is so sweet that he is doing that |

If he's into it, humor him. Do something sweet, but not expensive. Even just a blank 99 cent card saying you're glad you're more than just friends now, happy one month, is enough. It's the gesture that really counts. Hope this helps!  |

| It's ok because he is the romantic type. As long as you cherish, that's all the is important. But if you feel that its annoying (to some people) , then you have got to talk it out with him. Relationship is about understanding from both side. I'm worried that if he does so much and expects you to do the same back, that's when you see problems. |

| It's pretty soon... but if he sounds psyched about it get him a little something, a nice card or something small, but would make him feel all special. |

| It sounds a bit creepy to me, being a bloke. But in my opinion I would go with it, and see how things pan out. He may be the perfect gent but i think its a bit controling. good luck. |

| Some people express how much they care by giving gifts, and your boyfriend sounds like one of those people. It's how he signifies how much you mean to him. Other people give gifts of course, but we don't perhaps attach the same meaning and significance to them. Although this isn't my way of celebration either, if you want your boyfriend to feel properly appreciated you'll need to express delight over his gift and most likely give him a token in return (even if you're pretty sure that he knows this isn't your thing, which he probably doesn't after one month). The good news is, for gift-givers like this it's usually the symbolism of the gift that's important more than the gift itself. A small, simple handmade card with a note from you will probably be just what he needs and he will treasure it. Think of it this way, it may seem excessive to you as a non-gifter, but giving a gift is a relatively easy way to demonstrate your feelings in a way that he will really appreciate. Some people are a lot more difficult to show that you care. Don't forget to let him know what makes YOU feel appreciated too, since gifts don't do it for you (but don't put his gifts down or he'll feel bad). |

| If it makes him happy to give you gifts then why not? You could be a lot worse off and never receive anything, including shows of affection. The guy is obviously head over heels. which you should just soak up and enjoy - if of course the feeling is mutual. Somehow these things (gifts and mushy acts) seem to find the natural level after a while.In sum, just enjoy and repay his deeds in your own way, with what you feel appropriate....be it a material gift, an emotional gesture or something different altogether. |
