Gift giving

How soon is too soon to buy someone a gift? This guy I’ve been talking to for a while wanted these jordans that came out and I have been thinking of getting them for him. He didn’t ask me to buy them I just thought it would be nice. We still haven’t made things official between us if that counts for anything. I wasn’t gonna tell him I got them I was just going to have them shipped to his house. Is that weird if I do that?

At least 6 months in an official relationship. I would find it weird to receive an expensive gift from a person I was only being casual with. It would be different if they got you something around the same price range, for your birthday.

Buy something for yourself with that money 😅

@Margarita Wait, how would the guy would get her something if it’s weird to give gifts before 6 months on a casual relationship?

@Artemis I think she was saying it's weird to get an expensive gift, not a gift in general.

I know that Jordans are pretty expensive, so the question is, are you willing to drop that much on someone who you could stop talking to tomorrow? I think another question is, what do you deem expensive? If you got it like that and it's a drop on the bucket, I don't see an issue, but if we haven't become exclusive, I may think twice.

@Artemis when it comes to gift giving, I usually follow the other persons lead. I would still find it weird to receive a gift in a casual relationship, but I would try to gift them something too, but only to make it even.

@Sharon Ahhh I see

@Margarita how do you know the person would take the lead though? Someone has to volunteer ryt?

@Artemis there will always be someone to lead. One person will initiate the date, the kiss, gifts, and whatever else people like to do. Basic relationship stuff

I would say not right now just because you don’t wanna come Off as buying him you know ? And if you start off like that then he’s gonna expect you to always be like that which would be a reason he would pursue you and you don’t want that come to the relationship with just yourself first ❤️😊

Trust me been there done that was dating a guy that used me because he was obsessed with videos games and he knew I would buy them for him once he realized that I knew I was getting used he ghost me

Not saying that he would use you but make him want you first before you start doing things and investments so early on

My personal rule is to never buy anything more than dinner for a guy that you’re not exclusively dating. If gifting is your love language then let him gift you first to set the standard for what is and isn’t an acceptable gift.

Nope nope nope. I wouldn’t do it. It’s a casual relationship. Let the guy buy his own shit.
