Dating 101: Do's and Don'ts of Valentine Gifts
This Valentine's Day, many people will face a gift-giving dilemma: What gift, if any, should you give someone you just started dating?
Lifestyle expert Amy Sewell offers tips for deciding whether to give a gift, as well as gift ideas for that special someone when you are in a new relationship.
- Know whether the relationship is exclusive. If you aren't absolutely certain, giving a gift may create an awkward situation!
- Do give a gift that reflects where you currently are in the relationship. Don't try to use a gift to move the relationship to a new level.
- Women, don't give him a gift unless he gives you one. It may sound old-fashioned, but most guys prefer to take the lead.
- Men, remember that women may interpret your gift as a sign of how you view the relationship. If you've only been dating for a week, a box of lingerie or very expensive jewelry may make her question your motives.
- Don't give a gift that indicates you are already planning a future together! Do keep it light, and give something appropriate to the nature and duration of your relationship, such as flowers, wine, chocolates, books or DVDs of interest to the other person, or tickets to an event you can enjoy together.
