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?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

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.
