I was wondering what you all think...If your significant other doesn't give you gifts, do little things to show they care, but they do say they care and they do find ways to show they care, even though they don't remember things like Valentine's Day, BUT you do remember and you do think of little things to do and little gifts to show you care (or even big gifts), is that okay?
If one person does all the gift giving and all and the other person doesn't really do that, does that mean the relationship will eventually fail?
Just curious! I am really romantic and creative and b/f is not, so I was just wondering if some people get tired of being the romantic one all the time.

He asked me to write an email about what kind of things I like...like getting gifts or whatever. I wrote that I like little gifts and things like that, it's the thought that counts, and that it doesn't even have to be something tangible, just so I know that he truly cares. But, I know he does care. I've told him what kinds of things he could do to show he cares if he runs out of ideas. 
Some guys just don't get it, they don't get hints, or they don't get "telling them how special it makes you feel". Some guys do, but a lot of them don't, so you can just tell them. Last night I showed my fiance my empty bottle of perfume and told him he could get me some of that for valentine's day, and I told him where he could get it. Will he get it? Maybe, but I'm leaving that up to him. I find its better to communicate what we want.
