Would you be put off by this lack of effort?

Looking for some honest opinions and I've name changed.

Been casually talking to/seeing a guy for 3 months. We are exclusive but due to each of us having DC/unsociable work patterns/busy social lives have actually only met up around 7 times, one of which was an amazing weekend away.

Anyway, yesterday was my birthday and I saw it in with a large group of people at a party including him. He wished me happy birthday at the time, and again when we left at the end of the night. I didn't hear from him until late afternoon of my birthday, a very brief how's your birthday text. That's it, no card, nothing.
I didn't expect any grand gestures whatsoever, but I did think he'd at least get me a birthday card. Or at the very least send a message in the morning wishing me a nice day.

I'm not someone who wishes to be showered by gifts or spoilt by a man, but my instinct is to run from this one. I think it's insensitive and odd behaviour. I don't think he's tight with money as he paid for the weekend away without hesitation a couple of months back. Any thoughts?

You think birthday s should have a huge fuss he doesn't. Neither of you is wrong, just coming to it with different expectations. However this mismatch if you can't laugh at it may cause you to annoy each other.

My Dad used to do stuff like this on purpose - or wait until 7pm on my actual birthday to actually wish me it; it was intentional and cruel and used to break my heart.

I don't think that this guy is anywhere near this level of bastardry, but I do think it's quite insensitive and thoughtless; it's all about the sentiment and just the thought behind wishing someone happy birthday.

I think when you first meet someone birthdays can be a bit awkward as you don't know what to do, so I'd bear it in mind and not run just yet, although I'd be mindful x

Amybelle sorry to say, I think that isn't that uncommon and it did cross my mind OP's guy might be that type.
