Fourteen year old has a girlfriend

[DBML]

Hi there

Looking for some advice. My 14 year old has a girlfriend in his year at school. They’ve been ‘together’ a few months. I’ve seen her and she looks to be a lovey girl. Her family also seem very nice.
It’s a special occasion and DS has bought her a gift. Something quite generic as I was against anything too intense.

As I’ve met her briefly and her family, what is the etiquette surrounding me buying her a gift? I have no problem getting her a gift at all, ...I just don’t want to come across as weird or pushing the relationship forward so soon or whilst they are both so young. On the other hand, I don’t want to seem rude or as if I’m not acknowledging her.

My son has been out with her family a few times and they do all seem lovely.

Oh dear, I’m so new to all this. What do I do? I ask my son’s opinion and he just says ‘I don’t know’
How do you all manage young love lol! ??

No don't buy anything.

I don't think you need to get her anything to be honest. It's possible she'll be one of many to come! I think a card would be fine if you really feel you need to mark it.

I don't like giving gift cards usually but maybe in this instance a gift card inside a card may be appropriate? Not too personal or pushy but a nice thought.

Maybe for the cinema or something along that line for your DS and her to attend together.

You’ve only met her briefly. They are only 14. Would get his best friend a gift from yourself whilst your son was also getting him a gift? If the answer is no then I wouldn’t get her anything

Thank you all. As I said, this is very new to me...I’ll leave it for now, I don’t want to cause anyone (or myself) embarrassment!

I think that’s right. If they’re still together at Christmas you can have a rethink, but I’d leave them to it for now.
