Hi Everyone-

So in a few weeks, my boyfriend and I will have been dating for 6 months. I have never dated anyone for this long. So my question is: do people usually celebrate 6 months? If so, how do they celebrate it, with gifts? dinner?

Also like 2 weeks after that is his birthday. How extravagant should that be? Should I plan something for just the two of us or just give him a gift and go out with a bunch of friends? And is there a spending limit, since we haven't been going out for that long?

Thanks for the advice

I wouldn't celebrate the 6 months so much as his birthday. You can bring up the 6 month thing on the date, and maybe do something together, but don't go overboard making a big deal about it. For his birthday, find a small gift for under $20 that he could use. Or treat him to a nice dinner. My point is that it's not what you get that's important, but that you spend time together doing something nice. If you want to just go for a beautiful walk at dusk, that's romantic and not pushy. In the future, do you want him to look back and remember the time you spent together or the gift you got him?
