Should I buy her a birthday present?

Question

So I am chatting with the girl I'm dating and she mentions her birthday is coming up soon. She's going to watch a show and then do some roaming around town. She doesnt ask me if I want to go with her. I know it's a bunch of her friends (guys and girls) that are going. So I just told her that sounds like fun (generic reply). I feel like if it were my birthday I would have invited her, or said something about meeting up later. So basically I wont see her on her birthday because I have work in the morning and she'll be out at night. I still havent bought a present...

I've known her since April, and just recently we have been going out.

Answer 1

Woooooow that is really g*y.  She didn't invite you at all.  Unless she knows that you wouldn't feel comfortable with her friends.  I think it would be a good idea to buy her a present.  Let her know that you care for her, and maybe make her realize the mistake shes done.

Answer 2

My guess is if she didn't invite you to join her and her friends in going out to celebrate her birthday she isn't that into you. In other words, she is not that interested in having a committed relationship with you at this point. Here's my best advice...if you are interested in having a future relationship with her, call her up and ask her to get together and give her your birthday present at that time. If you feel like she does and are not that interested at this time, don't get a present. A simple "Happy Birthday" over the phone would be enough, and you can just enjoy each other's company whenever you get together casually.  

Answer 3

Answer 4

Answer 5

Answer 6

yeah bit strange she didn't come out and ask you to join them but I would still get her a present it's the nice thing to do seem your dating, if she still hasn't asked you at least the gift should make her feel guilty lol  

Answer 7

Yea buy her a birthday gift cause that would be a nice thing to do since you are dating her.

Answer 8

she's just feeling kind of shy about inviting you to her birthday. just tell her you want to spend it with HER cause it's her special day & she is special to you. go buy her a present.  

Answer 9

Buy her a card and flowers. Don't spend too much effort, time or money on someone who's in doubt about being buddies.

Answer 10

If she didn't invite you along to her birthday celebration (whatever she has in mind) why buy her a gift?  Doesn't sound to me as though she's really into you.  Cut her loose.    

Answer 11

yeah u should buy her a present in order to let her remember u that u r her close friend.

Answer 12

Hm...maybe she felt awkward about inviting you for some reason.  I would just get her a card or some small token.

Answer 13

i think you should buy her one...
