If you want gifts for these little occasions, what are you going to expect for the bigger ones? If I were dating someone like you, that's certainly what I would be thinking, and it would be a SCARY thought.
The biggest disappointments we have in life are those inflicted on ourselves. We set up unreasonable expectations and when they are not met, we are the victim.
Women always expect men to be mind readers. They are not. They are simple creatures who only basically recognize black and white, yes or no. If these stupid things are that important to you, you need to say. Next week is our two month anniversary and I would like to celebrate it because it is important to me. Then YOU plan, cook and pay for a nice dinner and invite him over. If he thinks you are worth it, he will show up. If you want a gift you will probably have to spell that out too.

I think it's pointless to 'want' a gift. It's reasonable to express to the other person that you'll let them decide for themselves whether they want to express themselves in that manner over something they could deem insignificant in the long run.
he took me out for dinner but didn't give me any gift or card for our one month anniversary..we dated for 5 months and became a couple a month ago.
many other things tells that he loves me and he said that he loves me..and but should I be upset or doubt his love because of this?
i am not asking for any pricy gift..just a small thing..but I didnt even get a card
should I be upset??
I thought it was a wedding anniversary or something. He took you for dinner, that would be more than enough for me . And I've never understood the "monthly celebration".
I pretty much agree with all the posters here. A one month anniversary is not an occasion to expect a gift. 25th wedding anniversary might be another story but with your high expectations so early I doubt you'll see that one.
One of you can correct me if I am wrong, but if you two are really in love isn't that a big enough gift in your eyes? My god, if someone loved me that would be one of the best gifts ever! Your stressing out too much over this, just relax, okay? -mmccul
Dear, you are way too high maintenance. You're going to spend the rest of your life feeling disappointed if you don't bring your expectations down to earth a bit. One month is not a milestone. Now if he forgets your first anniversary after you're married, you can milk that one for a really nice pair of earrings or something .
You'll get over this in time. Then you'll have years like the ones my husband and I have had where one of us, about three weeks after our anniversary, says "Didn't we have an anniversary a few weeks ago?". We both forget anymore. Seems kind of silly to celebrate your relationship only once a year.
If you came to me and said you were upset that I didnt get you a gift for a @#$%%^&^ 1 month "dating" anniversary, i would hand you a $20 bill and tell you to get lost because it would just tell me that you are a golddigger. Or 14 years old!
