[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems manipulative and cruel to agree to exchange gifts, accept someone’s gift, and not have anything in return.  Dump him.[/quote]

OP did not actually convey the actual conversation wih her bf which she claims is when he agreed to buy her anything.

Because it was probably something far more ambiguous.

OP:  "I think it is important to give gifts to each other on VD."

BF: "You do?  That's cool."

OP (window shopping w BF):  "Wow thats a beautiful necklace.  I think I would look great in that! Do you think its too exoensive?"

BF: "Yes I am sure it would look great on you.  I am surenit would be worth every penny."

OP (thinking to herself) :"Hooray, BF promised to get me that expensive necklace for VD!!!"[/quote]

Why is so hard to believe that the situation went exactly as OP described it, that HE brought it up, said they could exchange gifts if it was important to her, then asked her for ideas. He literally asked her for ideas of what to get her, and then not only ignored those ideas but the entire thing all together. Seems cruel to me. It's awkward, that first Valentine's Day with a new boyfriend or girlfriend. What a great way to keep that from happening! Be all transparent! So you go into the day feeling good because you avoided all the weirdness! And then not so much. How nasty.[/quote]

It is hard to believe we have the full story because OP deliberately left out what she asked her bf to get her for VD.

Did she ask him for a sweater too?  A teddy bear?  Or expensive jewelry?[/quote]

I mean, regardless of what she suggested, getting her nothing and providing no explanation is a massive red flag[/quote]
