Okay I bet you are wondering why I am complaining. I am not. I enjoy getting presents. But, I am really not used to this.
I mean, this guy always gets me things. Nothing fancy or overly expensive but gifts, nonetheless. Very thoughtful gifts, too. I only drink red wine - he bought me a rose wine after trying it at a wine tasting because he thought I should try it. He bought me a DVD about a documentary on an author I like. Things like that. I have gotten 5 or 6 other things from him, too.
We are not intimate at all and we are still in the "courting" stage (is that word still used? ) We have been on about 8 or 9 dates and we communicate often via phone and email.
Is this odd? How should I handle it? I feel like I should give him something, too.
I have to be honest - I have been waiting to figure out what's wrong with him.
Also, he is not American (Nigerian). I have never dated a guy from Nigeria before. Cultural maybe?
