Birthday present after dating 2 weeks?

in Starting Over

I started dating a guy 2 weeks ago (we have known each other about 6 months), and we immediately hit it off.  We have been spending a lot of time together, and tomorrow is his birthday.  Do I get him something, or not?  I thought about a nice shirt, but I dont know...help!

    Take him out for/make him his favorite dinner and maybe a card (something very light hearted, not mushy,etc.). Presents at this point would be overkill.

    No way.  Maybe buy him a 6 pack of his favorite beer if you're hanging out tomorrow.

    I agree with the others, or a funny and totally lighthearted card would also be appropriate. That's about it.

    Have fun!

    This is what I would do (assuming I really liked him).

    I had only been dating my bf for a few weeks when his bday rolled around.  Mine had been a few days before and he got me a beautiful bouquet of flowers.  I ended up cooking him his favorite dish for dinner and I did get him a lil something...a gift card to a restaurant I knew he took his daughter to often.  He loved it....

    Funny card should do the trick.

    Agree with PP. A gift would be overkill. Make him dinner, make him a card, or buy him a 6 pack. Keep it simple. Even though you've known each other 6 months, you've only been dating a very short time.

    Agreed.  And maybe his favorite dessert too.

    I think a card is sufficient. Maybe a cupcake or something.

    I would just treat him out to dinner.  Maybe a nice place, but not nicer than any place he has taken you!

    Aim for a special experience, not a material gift.
