Do men view birthdays the same way?

It's my not-quite-boyfriend's birthday today and I have sent him a couple of e-cards and proposed (twice) some things we could do to celebrate it next week. However, becuase our relationship is quite fragile at the moment and I feel he is running scared, I haven't called him. I also haven't heard from him at all today to say thanks for the cards or whatever. I'm wondering if he's sulking that I haven't called or if men in general just don't care that much. Maybe it's not that big a deal?

Your relationship's fragile, he's running scared, and you've sent him e-cards and proposed things to do twice for his birthday? And now you want to call him? And you wonder if he's sulking becaue you haven't? Are you kidding?

He's not calling because he doesn't want to! Pester him any more and he'll split for good, if he's not planning to already.

And anyway, birthdays aren't that important to most guys.

That's why I figured. Tho funnily enough, as soon as I posted, he emailed me. Out of politeness I'm sure. Anyway, I'm keeping quiet from now on.

I'm glad he emailed. I hope things improve for you. In general, the danger is in pestering guys too much. But you never know. Every case is different!
