I 've only bought stuff for a girl who i was in a committed relationship with....& it was out of pure love....some cherished it....some took it for granted....but above all getting someone something from your heart, no matter how big or small it may be to someone that is so special to oneself never made me have any regrets, even if they didn't appreciate it

I don't like accepting gifts from my suitors or even bf. I find it insulting on my part coz I believe money can't buy love for the best gift ever is the presence of a special person in my life and that is already enough to make me happy and grateful.

It's OK to accept gift from your love one but not from your date or suitor. Some men have other agenda when they give gifts, so much better not to allow it as they might expect something from you. If they are insistent maybe you could tell them you can only accept flowers, chocolates or any food but definitely not expensive things. I understand that some men find it insulting if you reject or decline their gifts but they have to respect your wish. I remember my ex bf before he told my sister that he wanted to treat me like a princess and to let me see the world he lives in that he is willing to make me happy but why do I reject all his offers, my sister told him that I am not used to accepting gifts and that he should respect. Everytime he gives me a gift I always leave it in his car and he felt insulted. The next time he gave me instead a stuff toy souvenir item when he traveled abroad, told me why he bought it and the act of giving touched my heart I thought it was really so sweet and thoughtful of him. It's the thought that counts not the price of a gift. The value of things that comes from the heart is priceless.
