Complained about dating a guy for two years and no gift. What about one who dated a lady for 2 and half years and not even a handkerchief as a gift. It thus goes round but I'll advice you sit him down and talk sense into him. What sparks the fire in a relationship is trying to renew your promises stuff and all that. And if u love him believe he'll change when things get better and also advice on my own chick that is tight - fisted

 Does he put a smile on your face and make you feel like a woman when you hang out with him?Is he a faithful dude? If so, don´t be in a rush to dump him.Talk to him first ok? maybe he is not used to exchanging gifts Wink.I have a friend like him but when i talked to him he changed so talk to your man.

please ladies when was it in yhe constitustion of dating that gifts must be used to share affection.why don't you all ask her why she has stayed with him for the past 2years.some of you just ask of attention,love,care and when all that is given you still look for an excuse to make it all look bad.

Seems the original poster is complaining of something much deeper than the lack of a gift.

Giving a gift usually signifies something. It could mean the guy is thinking of the babe & wants to make her happy, by getting her an item that would bring a smile to her face. Or it could mean he is feeling guilty & wants to pacify her with a gift.

A gift doesn't necessarily have to be expensive. It could be as little as a 400 naira recharge card, or even a small piece of chocolate. Boli & guguru can also be gifts!

Anyone who is truly in love with another person, will always look after that person's interests & possibly, needs. To ignore the feelings of a person you claim to love, or not to even do little things to make them happy, will cast doubts in their minds, about the intensity of the affection you claim to feel for them.

Try & understand. Am not saying that relationships should be based on gifts. But an ability to bring a smile to the face of your loved ones, either with a card, a small token or a momento, goes a long way in spicing up the relationship. It doesn't have to be a regular occurence. If a man or woman lacks the resources to give a gift, it can be excused, but not when such a person has the means or ability to do so, but just doesn't give a damn. A lack of such initimate caring or giving gestures, implies that the guy or girl is self-centred, stingy & selfish.

Such attitudes tend to cripple a relationship, in the long run, instead of enhancing it.

something many of you do not seem to realize is that in a relationship you have to take the feelings and wishes of your partner to consideration to a degree. No1 is saying you should break your neck for your partner but if my girlfriend does not like the fact that I haven't given her a gift for two years then why should I act like it doesn't matter? for two years? haba! abeg free that he's not a gift person jo. the dude needs orientation. And you, I advise you to jaa before its too late if he refuses to be reorientated because if now that y'all are not married he refuses to be generous, forget any sort of generosity in marriage where he'll see your face everyday for the rest of his life. Two years? Asking for a simple gift after two years is not unrealistic now! Infact I can't imagine a relationship without gifts even if its once in a wyl. Who doesn't want to be given gifts once in a wyl? Embarrassed

I'm speechless but maybe there's a reason for that. But have u bought anything for him? Are u good to him? I don't know his part of the story so am going to be num about this. For all those ladies that are already crucifying him, i don't know what to say excerpt say some of una nose resemble snap your fingers.

Hey girl,
gift isn't everything unless u are in there 4 material gains. if u hope to take that relatshp to marriage, gift isnt what u look out 4. If your guy gives u good attention, walks u home, spends weekends wit u, goes to parties & friends houses with u, calls u frequently when u are not around, respects your feelings and kisses u most of the time even in d presence of people, he loves you! Maybe he cannot afford to give u the kind of gifts he may wish to give you. Dont stress his pockets. be careful. goodluck.

Place yourself in the girl's shoes and think again. Then come back & share your thoughts with us.

there are certain things which you should natrally do
It is like saying u live with your sister in the same town and you never even think of visiting her with mangoes
just to say hello
It is not that that is the basis of the relationship, it is simply that these things fuel the relationship
Sharing food, sharing a drink , and it warms your heart when your partner likes your gift
so if he has never thought of giving you a gift ,
then my dear he really does not like u. It is not that u want him to give you a Dimond chain, but what matters is the thought behind a little gift, even if it is just
a watch.
if he does not have these natural instincts then he is a MONKEY send him to where he belongs, THE BUSH

The original poster did not in anyway imply that the scenario she painted was her personal problem. She was only asking people's opinion about such a situation. Meanwhile, she has not come back with any more posts. My personal opinion about a guy who has not given his girl a gift in 2 years is that he is just plain stingy. He can't be that poor. lol. He can't say he truly loves the girl because love is all about giving. Selflessness. A man should be able to make a sacrifice for the one he loves once in a while.
