I wouldnt be upset at not receiving a gift as much as I would if he didnt tell me happy b day and at least give me a hug and kiss.
-
No, it is not important. a card would be nice and a bunch of freesias is always appreciated
-
It would be pretty disappointing. It wouldn't have to be anything fancy, it's the thought that counts.
-
To me, it shouldn't matter, because the only thing that should, is the fact you have each other, and that should be enough.
-
I wouldn't but it sounds like you were. I think there might be something going on financially or otherwise if you are over age 15-16 and did not get at least some token of a gift from him. It also depends on how long you have dated I suppose. Did you even get a card? Are you sure he knew it was your birthday? If you are over 16 and have been together for some time I would ask him if something was wrong, since it doesn't sound right to me. Unless you never have gotten a gift from him before, I would chat with him abit in a friendly way and just see if he was upset about something or just did not have money to buy something. But I think at least a card would be nice.

An acknowledgement of my birthday would suffice.
-
I feel that as long as they remembered the special occasion that is sufficient. It also depends on how long you have been with the boyfriend, money situation and so on.
-
No it doesn't matter --- men are stupid.
-
Yes. What else are they good for?
-
No. My birthday is Dec 30 so I am accustomed to not getting birthday gifts. When I do get gifts it is nice, but I do not get upset if I don't.

Are you even sure he is your boyfriend? Folks, love for a person, can be shown in many ways. failing to buy your girlfriend or boyfriend a bithday present, really shows their lack of concern. It matters so much, that sometimes it hurts and you know exactly what i mean. you try not to show it, but your heart just had its plug pulled. Of course it matters. Dump the jerk. if he forgot your birthday, its just a matter of time, before he forgets your name.
-
It would be much better if he were to give you a gift one month earlier,,for no reason. Forced gift giving creates unnecessary tensions later on.
-
To me, I wouldn't be. Sure, getting a gift from the person you love always puts a smile on your face, but it shouldn't be all material things that matters. All that should matter is that you two would spend a wonderful time together. :)
-
it doesnt matter bout the present as long as they remember your bday.but thats just cuz to me it seems like that means they forget your birthday, but idk if you dont think it matters dont let it bother you. do wat your heart tells you
-
Nope ...not at all ! I would want him to be with me on my birthday ....that would be enough :-) !
-
Well that would depend on how long you've been together.
-
It doesnt matter to me. If a guy just gave me a huge hug and said HAPPY BIRTHDAY.. I would be completely melted. LOL. Gifts arent a big thing with me. ~+~
-
i'd live without a present. but if they totally forgot about my birthday altogether, then screw them
-
I would be very upset! Little gifts represents how he is feeling about you! If he forgot even worst. He is an insensitive guy! Get away!
-
Well. It'd depend on if he had the money to get me a gift, even a small one. And how long we'd been going out for. But yeah, not even a card...I wouldn't be happy. At all.
-
Nope. My boyfriend bought me shoes and gave me a big hug for my birthday, but even if he didn't buy me the shoes, it wouldn't make me love him any less.
-
It would be hard seeing He'll be in Iraq when my birthday roles around. The first one since dating.
-
Well, for if I was a girl, depending on how serious the relationship was, I'd be upset, especially if he didn't mention it at all. Yes, that kind of thing does matter. +5
-
I would be upset, yes. It does matter! WHAT the gift is, doesn't matter. The fact that there was time spent on something, does!
-
It wouldnt really matter to me as I dont expect gifts from anyone on my birthday or any other time of the year for that matter.
-
My boyfriend had sex with somebody else in my bed on my birthday! Happy Birthday to me! Wasn't that so sweet he remembered?
-
naw..no matter.. just as long as i get to see him <3
-
yes it matters because besides the actual gift its showing someone they care, thats the point of a gift.
-
Eh, a bit, but I wouldn't throw a fit over it. As long as we hang out and do something fun, I'll be happy.
-
No, it wouldn't matter. We've been dating almost 3 years, and he has never bought me a gift for my birthday. I haven't asked for one either. I just threw him a party with about 20 of his friends a month ago, and he actually asked me what he got me for my birthday. he sent me card that played music.
-
My husband was very giving. He didn't know how to treat a woman, but he gave me lots of good stuff. But love can't last with material things only! :(
-
I have just the opposite problem! My wife had a birthday Saturday. I offered to take her anywhere she wanted to go. I told her I would even go shopping with her and let her buy anything she wanted. The said she wanted to go on a picnic with me, and that she didn't want to buy anything! NOW what??
