| Do you believe her, or do you know better?My boyfriend and I said no gifts for Valentine's day, and I didn't even get a card!! I'm not being selfish, but I guess I just kinda expected it... It's not like I was going to tell him " No, I want you to get me something..."I'm not MAD he didnt get me anything, I just think its kinda funny, because I didnt really expect him to take me THAT literally... No big deal, I was just checking what the consensus was!! |

| Stop acting like that. You're giving women everywhere the "passive-aggressive" stereotype. If you want something, ask for it. Don't tell your bf one thing and expect him to decipher it. He is a simple creature. For god's sake woman, speak up for yourself and help this guy out. |

| not to be mean, but you kinda got what you asked for. Quite literally. Guys dont speak woman, they dont understand that when you say "no gifts" it means - you should still get me a small something to say you love me. In Guy speak, No gifts means.. NO GIFTS! They dont understand code. Next time, if you want to fix this problem... put a price limit down. Or "oh baby, i just want a card".... you can TRY "you dont HAVE to get me anything" and hope he gets that more commonly known trap. |

| I'm not a guy---but what you did sounds like the kind of thing that drives guys up the wall, and gives women a bad name.This is the reason guys say, "When she says No, she means Yes!"Please don't give your guy tests like this: "If I tell him one thing, he'll figure out that I really mean something else--if he really knows me and loves me." If you want your guy to know you, and make yourself easier to love, be honest with him. Tell him what you really want. I'm not saying never be discreet, but please don't double-talk him. Be honest with him--and especially be honest with yourself. Ask yourself, "What do I really want?""Let your Yes be Yes, and your No be No." --from Matthew 5:37.Addendum: rereading your question, it sounds like he made the decision for both of you, and, afraid to refute him, you went along, and resented it. Again, please learn what you really want, and let him know, too! |

| My fiancee knows that I don't play around with subtlety and mind games, and that I expect her to say what she means and mean what she says (which has gotten me into trouble in the past, and probably always will). She should not expect any gifts if she explicitly tells me not to get her any.But even I wouldn't fall for this one, I'd still get her at least a card or flowers. I'm straightforward, not stupid. |

| When you say "No gifts" to us, we think you mean you don't want anything. If you said "All I want is a card or something" then we would get you a card. With us, you have to be specific. |

| sometimes girls mean what they say. yet sometimes they mean the other way around. i understand what you did. but next time, if you really are craving for something or are dying to get something, tell him. guys will be guys. they are not psychic nor do they have special powers to know if you mean what you say or not. sometimes, when they love you so much, they tend to follow the littlest of instruction that you're giving them. |
