if my girl did not get me anything and just spent the day with
me, i'd be happier than a bug in a rug...
and if you made him buy something, what would that something mean?
to him, it's worse than nothing... something coerced out from
him... and after a while, he's going to resent you...
most women accuse men of being "unromantic" without even trying to
fathom what goes on in their heads... most women are guilty of this
and they don't even know they are the very ones who kill the
romance in their menfolk!
what good is something coerced from him?
if he did something out of the love of his heart, because it did
not meet your criteria you imagined out of a stupid paperback
romance by Bills and Goon, do you shrug it off and say it's
nothing?
maybe your guy has been calloused by your insisting on things,
"gifts" and "presents" (i use the quotation marks because true
gifts and presents are never expected) to be bought for you? so
much so that he cannot go and buy something for you because it
ceases to be special..
if he is, he's more romantic and heartbroken than you know and you
don't even give a damn.... you just want your diamond or
whatever... and you are too short-sighted to see his broken
heart... and so self-centred that you blame him... and you know
what? he'll blame himself too!
in short, you may have abused his trust.. so much that he's become
unfeeling...
ever thought of that?
