Question

Can I buy my girlfriend a Valentine's Day gift even though she isn't responding to my texts?

Community Answer

Yes, of course. Try not to worry so much about her not responding to your texts either. She might just be busy! If this is a consistent issue with her that bothers you, then talk to her and let her know that you would appreciate it if she would try to respond to you more frequently.

Question

Why would an ex-boyfriend buy his ex-girlfriend a present?

Community Answer

To get her attention and possibly win back her affection. Females should not accept gifts from ex-boyfriends thought because that is misleading if they do not want to be with him.

Question

How do I give her a gift if I don't know what she wants?

Community Answer

Either ask her what she would like, ask someone else close to her if they have any idea, or figure it out yourself based on your knowledge of the person and the things you know she likes. If you know her taste, for example, you could get her some jewelry that would suit her taste.

Question

What should I do for Valentine's Day if my wife left me two years ago?

Danielle Husband

Community Answer

First of all, don't buy your ex a gift for Valentine's Day, as that's no longer your role. Instead, spend the day doing something you enjoy and celebrating what's great about you.

Question

How can I tell if someone I broke up with still has feelings for me?

Danielle Husband

Community Answer

You can look at how they behave around you. Additionally, listen to what they say to you for hints they still like or love you. However, the best way to know for sure is to talk to them.

Question

What would be a good gift idea for a former best friend that is no longer as close as we used to be?

Danielle Husband

Community Answer

You might get them something nice and impersonal, like you'd buy for an acquaintance. For example, a nice journal, a book, a treat basket, or a gift set might make a good present.

Question

Is it okay to buy a gift for an ex love?

Danielle Husband

Community Answer

It's up to you to decide if it's okay to buy your ex a gift. Additionally, it's best to consider how they might feel about receiving a gift from you. If they might like it, go ahead. If not, it's probably a good idea that you don't get them a gift.
