| If this matters to you, you have to realize it will never change. If you can’t live with it without being hurt and/or resentful, you should break up. Also it’s kind of sucky that you agreed and he didn’t follow through. |

| It seems manipulative and cruel to agree to exchange gifts, accept someone’s gift, and not have anything in return. Dump him. |

| Use your words. Have a conversation with him. |

Yes. A better reason to break up is you are evidently a child who expects gifts because Hallmark holiday Expecting gifts any time for any reason is gauche. But because of a fake holiday? Yikes. |

It’s possible she heard what she wanted to hear in that conversation |

| Is it possible that bringing it up ahead of time and getting him to agree to exchange gifts took all of the fun out of it? |

| I think the whole Gifts Are My Love Language pop psych fad is ridiculous, but if he agreed ahead of time, then just blew it off, he’s telling you who he is and where his priorities are. Don’t waste any more time on him. |

+1 And also how and when did you have this conversation? "Hey, we have been dating now for 7 months. Lets exchange gifts for valentine's day." while you were having sex? Did he think "I want to get off" in more ways than one? Also, he is not into you. |

Did he enthusiastically agree or he just was nodding thinking that OP is immature? |

| I think it’s odd you had a Valentine gift discussion this early in the relationship. Seems way too soon and your choice of a sweater doesn’t seem appropriate either. This is a go out to a special dinner event, but this is just me. |

| Was he sorry or embarrassed when you gave him a gift and he didn’t have anything for you? Were you visibly upset? Was there any discussion in that moment? This would make a difference in my next move. |

Is this a real thread? How old are you?
You want to break up because you didn't get a Valentine's gift? And you wonder why GenZ complains about not being about to find anyone. You guys need to stop being so shallow. |

| Nothing says I love you like a sweater for Valentines Day! |

What did he say when you asked him, calmly, about it the next day?
"Hey I was disappointed that we agreed on gifts and then you didn't get me a gift. What is up with that?" |
