I've only ever had one girlfriend, it was a pretty standard 9th grade relationship and our breakup was mutual and uneventful. Other than that there was only one other girl that I had one pseudo-date with, and one girl who I really "loved" (i.e. it was more than just "I like you").
In the case of the girlfriend, I never bought her a thing, and she never did for me, and all was good.
I have nothing against gifts or nice acts. I think things like Bigles did, and what Merk's boyfriend did in her thread, are really awesome things to do. But if you're going to spend $X.XX on a ring, why couldn't you spend $X.XX on a huge pile of elephant shit? Ok, don't answer that...
