  • Question
    Is it wrong that my boyfriend didn't buy me a gift for my birthday, and let me pay a part of our dinner?
    Community Answer
    If your boyfriend isn't in the position to pay, it isn't wrong. If he can pay, yes, it is pretty messed up. Don't read too much into it. If it occurs again, bring it up.
  • Question
    Should I take her out on her exact birthday?
    Community Answer
    If you do it the day before she will feel as though you couldn't wait to make her feel special, which makes it twice as special. If she has plans with her family or with her friends, it is okay, or maybe you should take her earlier in the day or later that night.
  • Question

    It could be, if it's something rare and unique you treat her to.
  • Question
    What do I do if we are angry at each other and her birthday is next week?
    Community Answer
    If you really care for her, try to make up before her birthday. Apologize for your part in the argument and try to talk it out. In the long run, it's better to put aside your difficulties and give your girlfriend a great birthday instead of hanging on to resentment.
  • Question
    How can I surprise her on her birthday if she is angry with me?

    Try some chocolates, roses, and a card. If you want to be more creative, make her breakfast or write a poem for her. Nothing wrong with getting in touch with your gentle side.
  • Question
    What would be the best gift to give in a long distance relationship?
    Community Answer
    The BEST gift would probably be a surprise visit. If you showed up at her house with some flowers to show her how much you care about her, that would be perfect. However, that's not feasible with everyone. You could also give her a gift that makes her feel closer to you, like an album of photos of the two of you.
  • Question
    My birthday is next week, and I'm afraid he's going to forget. What should I do?
    Community Answer
    Try to give him hints that your birthday is coming up, or get one of your friends to mention it to him.
  • Question
    Should I wish her at 12 o'clock at night?
    Community Answer
    Depends on whether she is up at that time. If she's not, then don't wake her up. If she is, you can, but it isn't necessary; most people would wait until the morning or when they see the person.
  • Question
    What if my girlfriend already has everything she needs?
    Community Answer
    Give her something handmade. If you hand-make something that means you put a lot of time into it, this is more valuable that just buying her a simple present.

    It isn't unusual for a guy to forget your birthday. Just throw little hints the day prior to your birthday. And try not to get mad at him about missing it, depending on how long you two have been together.
  • Question
    I haven't prepared, and my girlfriend's birthday is soon. What can I get her?

  • Question
    Whats an unforgettable and long-lasting gift for my girlfriend?
    Tom De Backer
    Top Answerer
    There's no one gift all girlfriends will like, but there are a million your girlfriend will like. I keep a list of names and things they mention they like throughout the year. You see, it's not the gift that counts, it's how well you paid attention to what your girlfriend likes. Every time you see her, she's giving you thousands of ideas of things she likes, so listen, look, take notes.
