Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

Bad timing, I've just entered into a relationship and right around the corner is her b-day.
Now while I'm not a big fan of buying people things on a regular basis, I usually do like to give nice gifts at b-days and x-mas HOWEVER, by b-day time we've technically only been together about two weeks (even though we've known we'd end up together for several months before)

What's the right thing to do here? I feel a bit odd getting her a large gift when we've only been together a few weeks (even though this is definatlely working out to be a serious relatioship) but I also feel odd NOT getting her a large gift since we ARE together.

I was thinking of just getting her a bunch of smaller things with meaning behind them, inside jokes we have etc., some flowers she likes, a sex toy haha just things like that but at the same time it might look a little odd if guy friends are getting her more expensive things than her boyfriend.
What's the rule of thumb here?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

How about you take her out, rather than give her something?

Taking her somewhere cool, I dunno.....different city day trip? to the beach with barbecue, whatever....you havn't forgot her B/day, but you don't have to get her something "meaningful".

Don't spend your money on her. Give her a hug.
