What is your gut telling you? If the guy is nice and has been open and transparent and you feel comfortable with him, then I think extending an offer to take him for birthday drinks is a good idea if its in your budget.

If hes a little sometimey/distant, MIA at times then nothing.

If we're six dates in and still seeing other people, he gets a text.

The guy I have been seeing, I got him a cupcake for his birthday after about two weeks of dating. Didn’t make a big deal out of it. A few weeks later on my birthday, he had gotten me a cute dress, though I was NOT expecting anything of that nature at all.

This one!

Depends on how close you’ve gotten. If it’s a question mark, then send a text saying happy birthday and say next time we’re out let’s celebrate! If you’re already deeply (mutually) in love then of course you should ask him.

I'd say, I'd love to take you out for bday drinks! What night is good for you?

What is appropriate at this stage for me to do, if anything? Buy a gift? Treat him to dinner? Nothing?

We’re dating but not exclusive, or bf/gf, if that matters.

If he didn't make plans to see you for it I wouldn't do anything aside from a text.

Op: shouldn’t I ask him if he has bday plans? Or no?

I would ask him if he has plans, since he might with his kids. If not, I would treat him to dinner or if celebrating at home do a special dessert as that PP suggested.

This is a bit off-topic, but does he have kids?

Op: yes he does (young).

Buy a special desert if you're not out. If you have plans to go out, buy dinner.

Well whatever you do, don't get him any books!
