Dating for 2.5 months.... Valentine's gift or not?

[Welshcakesareyum]

Exactly that really.... a small gift would be thoughtful but what?

Is the gift for a man or woman?

A man

I’d say some sweets or chocolate; that’s what I did when we’d bern together a similar amount of time along with a card and we had a nice meal in

Aftershave or wine

Lounge pants and a tin of Love Hearts!!

When I had been with my now DH that long, I text him on valentines morning to say that I was looking forward to seeing him later but that instead of buying him a present, I had bought some fancy undies for myself. I know what he appreciated more!

I wouldn't, personally. I think Valentine's Day is totally naff anyway but if you're in a committed relationship its maybe an excuse for a date night or a bit of TLC.

But with someone you've been seeing for two months I think it would be totally off-putting to get something.

It depends what you mean by 'dating'. Just going out or sleeping together a lot? It depends which stage you're at (the 2.5 months doesn't define it clearly enough).

I would spend a long time getting the right card. And at 2.5 months I would intend to do something nice with that guy on V day. As for a gift - would have to be. carefully chosen, and low-key, so as not to be awkward. Dinner and sex are also gifts.

Maybe offer tix for a movie he might want to see.

This way it's not over the top but if you are meant to be together it will be a nice stepping stone.
