Timeframe for Gifts
Expectations for Birthday Gifts in New Relationships
Gift giving in early relationships varies greatly. Three months is a short period to expect a birthday gift, and not receiving one does not indicate a lack of interest. Focus on the overall connection and communication rather than specific gift expectations for now.
thanks, starfish.
HP74 .. any time during any relationship, even just friendship, the giving and recieving of gifts is appropriate if it's from the heart. One day is enough time, if it's sincere.
However .. "expecting" is another matter. A heart can't be expected to do anything except feel .. and if it isn't from the heart, then it doesn't mean anything.

If a person expects a gift, but doesn't get one .. they are left with disappointment, resentment that they were forgotten, they may even end a relationship that could have brought them joy .. whereas ..
If a person didn't "expect" a gift, yet, got one .. they would be overjoyed because they would know that the other person gave this to them to make them feel cherished and happy.
Love is about "giving", not "getting"
