i'm in the same situation,  think i'll buy my own at least i'll get what i want lol.\n\nTO THOSE SAYING WE DONT NEED PRESSIES - its just nice to feel wanted and thought about enough to have something nice given to them.  It goes both ways remember so maybe you should make the effort first. (you can try and it doesnt have to be expensive)\n\nI've been with mine for 6/7 years (with one child)and i think we only really bothered the first couple of years but i cant remember what we got!!!!!

You don't - you get a boyfriend because you enjoy spending time with someone. Valentines day is just like any other day of the year - highly overrated!!\n\nIf you are in it just to get a teddy bear and a box of chocolates go buy them for yourself!

you need to sit down and talk with him. If he has waited until he could find a girl for a relationship and you are her, then a little romantic won't kill him. You both need to know how each other feels. If he doesn't want to fall in love, then why date you? You do want a forever guy, right?\nIf he's truly incapable of love and romance, dump him and move on. Those little gestures of love are what make a relationship work. It sounds like he doesn't know what he wants. If he is someone you could see yourself with, then you need to go get a few relationship books or see if you can teach him romantic things you'ld like. Getting flowers for no reason, calling you at work to say he's thinking of you, surprising you with take out for dinner. Anything that shows he cares.

first date on Valentines day... you must really like pressure or applying it. normally I would say no gifts on a first date, the date should be used to get to know each other. but since you are going out on "romantic holiday" here are a couple of suggestions. If you are both old enough maybe a nice bottle of wine. If you neither of you drink or you are under 21 a simple flower for the lapel would be nice. Try not to be too elaborate you may scare him off. What if he does not get you something, I think you could get him something but do not give it to him unless he presents you with a gift first (not to be childish) just so you do not make him feel uncomfortable  remember this is a first date. If he does not get you anything and you still feel compelled to give a gift, make it something like a small box of chocolate that you could both share. \nBeing a guy I have never expected a gift from a girl on a date, but have given them. The best returns for me was a genuine smile and comment of appreciation from the girl, making me feel like I had truly brought a little joy to her through my thoughtfulness.

Ask him out, be brave, and if he says no, pick up the pieces and be friends. If you can't have him as a boyfriend, then have him as a friend.\n\nGood luck to ya..

What is your goal for this guy?\n\n1.  Do you want him to be a boyfriend (possibly now or later???)\nOr,\n2.  Are you just happy to have him as a friend (with no possibility of ever dating this dude???)\n\nAnswer \n#1:  Research him, find a common interest, and get something affordable, but meaningful.  For example, if you both Rollar Blade, get him grease for his wheels.\n\n#2:  Keep the gift super affordable, and generic. Even a simple card would be fine since you've just meet. You don't want to lead this poor soul on.

Changing him is going to be hard.  He may not know how to be romantic and is scared that he will not be successful at it.  Talk with him about it and make suggestions and hopefully he will see how important it is to you and be willing to try.  Good luck.

It couldn't hurt, right.  You're both single and who wants to be alone on Valentine's Day?\n\nGo for it, girl!

I think you must be on his mind, honey.  Maybe you and he could spend some time together during the holidays!  Do you have any mistletoe handy?  Godloveya.

Guys are not as materialistic as we girls are, and if you just make him feel like a man on Valentine's day (or any day) he will appreciate it.\n\nUnless he's the unappreciative type, in which case, why are you with him?

Hey don't feel down. I don't have a boyfriend either. Do you want a boyfriend? And do you need one badly? If so go ask a guy out that you think that he's interested in you. It's either you that's having a trouble finding a boyfriend or you are not sure if you want one. Or it's either the boys? You have to venture out more in the world if you're shy or quiet. Trying too hard can also be a problem. But either way good luck, just find out what you want.

What's the point in wanting him then? I wouldnt give him the time of day.\nMove on and find someone who cares.

Well, if you really feel like you're not into him and the relationship isn't going anywhere, what's the point in staying with him? Go find someone that you acutally like and let him find someone that actually likes him. I wasn't very into my last boyfriend, so I let him go after a couple of months. Why drag things out for no reason?

you'd be lucky to find any romantic men out there.  My husband of 10 years, doesn't have a romantic bone in his body.  I wish he would.  But since I've never been romanced I guess I'm not missing anything.  It sucks that i don't have it.  Oh well.
