ranger Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 So, I've been dating this girl for about a month and a half, and she's my gf now. Her birthday is this weekend, so we're going out with some friends for dinner and drinks. My question is rather simple. Since we've only been going out for a little under 2 months, should I get her something for her birthday, and if so, what? If we'd been together for say, 6 months, I wouldn't have to ask.

Rose Mosse Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 You should know enough about her to give her something meaningful and within your budget. It's customary to acknowledge her birthday with something small and it does not have to be expensive at all. You may be overthinking it because you want to impress her. Forget all that and be yourself and go back to the first things that you both shared about each other and/or laughed about. Build from there and keep it simple. No woman worth her salt would place much (materialistic) importance on a birthday this early into seeing someone. Trust that you're dating a decent person. Link to comment
j.man Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Just cover a few of her drinks and celebrate with her. No need to fuss at this early a stage. Link to comment
Hollyj Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Flowers or balloons. Take her out to dinner. Link to comment
Capricorn3 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 A card and chocolates. Simple, adequate, and acknowledges the event without going overboard. Link to comment
Lonew0lf Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Dude id get her a cake and pay for her dinner, depending on how into her you really are, itd probably be cool to take her somewhere alone withOut friends and celebrate a little more. You know what, idk why replied to this, i hate birthdays, theyre stupid. Idk man write her a poem Link to comment
Wiseman2 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Ok you're already going to dinner. At 6 weeks of dating a card and flowers before you go out on her birthday is fine. Do not try to over impress or be too cool. Since we've only been going out for a little under 2 months, should I get her something for her birthday, and if so, what? Link to comment
RedDress Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 As I was reading your post, flowers immediately came to mind. I see others are on the same page... I would like to add my vote to “flowers” :) Maybe a cupcake. I agree with the others. The idea is to remember and acknowledge it. It’s about the thought, not the gift. When one of my exes and I first started dating, we each had a birthday within the first 2 months. For his birthday, I showed up at our date with some helium balloons and a dessert. My birthday was a little later - I came home from work to a gift on my doorstep. It was a very nicely wrapped stuffed animal of something we had joked about and a heartfelt card. Perfect. We went on to have a long relationship. Link to comment

Gary Snyder Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 You guys became a couple at 1.5 months? That's a little fast. Just a little. Since you guys claim to be a couple and in love already, get her whatever you want for her birthday - the sky is the limit! Link to comment
Honeycomb8 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Get a card, I think that's enough lol. Pay for dinner but it doesn't need to be fancy, you just started going out. Link to comment

Since you guys claim to be a couple and in love already, get her whatever you want for her birthday - the sky is the limit! He didn't say they were in love. And at 1.5 months, it would be infatuation anyway. I recommend something small. Anything over the top is scary and you might set the bar too high so she starts expecting way too much too soon.

catfeeder Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I like the flowers and card idea, but something small in a planter can be cultivated and planted to live on, while cut flower die. The symbolism there could be appreciated. Link to comment
