I'm sure all of us experienced having boyfriend/girlfriend relationships. It is really nice to receive gifts and to give gifts to our love ones. But who initiates the giving? Usually men do most of the giving but was there a time that your girlfriend ask for it? And for the girls do you ask from your boyfriends?

When me and my husband were not married yet, I was not really fond of asking gifts from him but he always give me gifts and even tells me to ask him for some gifts. Every time he went to our house, he would always bring something for me and also for the other family members. He knows how to give gifts too and I really like that. But now that we're married, he doesn't give me gifts anymore and I wonder. I think it would have been better if he didnt give me gifts before when we're not married yet. I think I would appreciate it more if he would give me gifts now.

maybe he just want to impressed you by giving gifts to you and to your family. but maybe this time he wants to show his love by being a good provider not only by giving gifts but a good life of your family.

Hmmm. I think he is. Our priorities change when we got married but I was just thinking it would still be nice he would atill give gifts even if they are not expensive. And you know what, he gave me chocolates yesterday..=) How sweet is that? I wasnt even expecting it..=)

me too i'm shy to ask for gifts. i want his own will to do it. i'll be happier for that even how small it will be as long as it is not initiated from me.

When my husband and I used to be boyfriend and girlfriend, I never ask him for a gift. I am just contented on what he gave me. But now that we are married, we want to make sure that we use our money wisely. We give gift that we know we really wanted. So we usually ask each other what gift we want on every occasion in our life.

i dont ask gift from my bf nor from my previous bf. they normally or voluntary give gift to me. sometimes i was just surprised to find out about their gift and no matter how big or small i do appreciated it. since i cant give them a gift coz i dont know what kind of gift to give for man i just give them a personal card with very lovely message so they can read it over and over again. the first and last gift i gave to my previous bf was a very expensive tie coz its from a well known signature and i travel it to bangkok just to gift the gift to my ex for his birthday while give me a two way ticket to bangkok also but we still broke up after many years

I usually initiate the giving to my boyfriend.. I never ask for gifts from him. But if he offers something like if i want/like this or that, i would never say no if i really do like what he offers. I don't know but i am really not comfortable to initiate asking for gifts from anyone.

Hi rosey19. I usually initiate the gift-giving whenever there are special occasions. My boyfriend isn't the type of guy that would love to surprise his girl. He would just ask me if what i want or whether i like to have this or that. When i say that i like something, he buys that for me.

but do not expect all the time that he can give you what you want, consider also the finances that he have. good if has a lot of money so he can buy you.

It's nice to receive gifts from your boyfriend / girlfriend but it sweet to receive it in a surprise manner. I don't ask for a gifts from my boyfriend if he wanted to give me it must be from his heart and that he really wants to me a gift.

i do not ask any gift to my boyfriend. Gift is not important to me but what is important is he love me and I am the only girl for him. :) That's all I want..

I never experience asking a gift from my bf,hahaha if he will give me a gift then i hope that is not my request,if he wants me choose maybe i will answer back which i prefer to have, but if i will intentionally asked him about giving me a gift its unethical in my opinion, but of course someone doing that, i respect others opinion about this.. God bless .
