I gave him his gift and.....?

Question

I gave a guy I like his gift for xmas because he was going east to be with his family for the holidays.....so I got him an e-gift card for an electronic store he really likes(i had no idea what to get him)anyway he already left and I sent it to his email yesterday.So I get an email from him today saying(word for word) ''u didnt have to,'cause u caught me off guard and I didnt get u anything(i didnt know u would get me anything..because u dont celebrate x-mas),but i found what I want there online but I still need 20 dollars to cover the rest of the cost...ttly..c ya..love ya.''!! For some reason I was surprised that he didnt say thank you and that he told me he still needs 20 dollars more then what i gave him(the card was for $150)...For some reason I expected more from him..we both really like each other.So my question is are most guys aloof about stuff like this......and how should I take or respond to his email...Thankx everyone and happy holidays

we have known each other for a more then a couple of months....hes 24

what should i say to him if i should say anything at all?

Answer 1

well it seems like...he didnt really appreciate it?
but 150 dollars is ALOT to spend on a friend...
so he should be HAPPY u spent that much!
he prob is thankful for it, just doesnt know how to say it...lol
he is using it, mayb just mentioning that he found something he likes...
he should pay the freaking 20 bucks himself! that'd be so rude to ask for another 20 bucks whenu give him so much.

Answer 2

How ungrateful! That gift you gave him wasn't cheap, and he's asking for more (and not giving you anything!). This tells you something about his character, and it isn't good. He obviously has no sense of right or wrong and didn't deserve the gift. Leave him. But, if you won't do that (and I know you probably won't because it sometimes takes awhile to recognize a jerk for what he is), respond to his email without addressing the issue of the $20. Tell him you hope he has a merry christmas and continue the conversation from there. By no means give him the $20. He doesn't deserve it, especially since he doesn't have the sense or kindness to say "thank you."

Answer 3

i imagine, to make sure that your organization to thrive, fantastically in this undesirable economic equipment, you want to furnish stuff that's unique. for instance, i love tea, yet i can purchase tea on the food market, or basically order a tumbler at a eating position. So in case you promote tea, it should be more beneficial than the belongings you get on the food market or a eating position. for instance, there's a save called Teavanna that has stunning tea that you may't purchase everywhere else that i understand of. so that you want to locate some kind of side so that you at the on the spot are not basically a mini version of an organic and organic food market with larger expenditures basically reason you wrap up the stuff with ribbons and bows..... until eventually, there are not any organic and organic shops on your section, so evaluate what competition is on the city and around the nook. possibly furnish shipping, grocery shops do not furnish that.

Answer 4

First, expensive gift to a guy you are not really in a relationship with (from what I gather). Second, he is a jerk for implying that it wasn't enough money. He should have thanked you and got you present while he was away to recipicate. Especially if he likes you.
Big signals here that he is cheap, immature, and self centered.

Dump him and move on.
Next time, don't drop so much money on a guy that you are just in the "like" stage with.

Answer 5

First off I would reply back telling him your glad he found something he wanted ,then I would say soemthing about you don't like celebrating c-mas because I don't know something about ppl being greedy etc..an dthen the real reason if you do indeed don't celebrate - however my ? is if u didn't celebrate y would u get him something? no most men I know don't act like htis my husband has told me for 7 c-mas's now I don't want anyhting soemtimes I bought stuff he didn't like but he tries to use ,and the I've bought gifts for his dad mine etc that they didn't like and we just pass them around if one doesn't like it most likely one of the others will.I think this guy is using u. My guy always says thanks even if he hates the gift and it sets on a shelf.Alot of ppl like the little stuff like a wallet card, a plack, or pictures or decorations for their room or house, etc.some guys are picky -mine is -----but he always out dos my gifts and says thank you and he tells me he doesn't want a gift but I'm special to him that y he gives me a gifts.this guy sounds like he's using u, I have alot of friends like this , tell him ur sorry but u can't help or just ignore him , or plain out tell him how u fell but point blank --just decide what is more important to u him thinking it's ok to ask for more money & forget getting u a gift or posssibly lossing a friend , because u speak , or letting him know & maybe he'll change for u.

Answer 6

That's the dumbest thing I've EVER heard ! (What he said)
I'm not sure if he's asking you for another $20 or just letting you know but still !

You could respond by asking him what it is that he wants and see what he replies with; By you asking it would seem like you are offering to cover the other $20. If he tells you outright and leads you to belive that he wants to you pay then you need to have a word with him because that's out of order.

Also let him know that you got him something because you wanted to, not because of Christmas itself, but because Christmas isn't about the holliday, it's about giving. (In my opinion)

Hope I helped !

Answer 7

If someone gave me a 150.00 gift card, I sure wouldn't be asking for more money, especially if I never got her anything. I'd feel like an idiot. And I think that's probably what your boyfriend is.

Answer 8

I think that was really rude. First of all that's quite a bit of money, he should be appreciate that you actually care about him, and thought enough to try and give him something.

Answer 9

Stuff him. It's the thought that counts. The fact that you chose a store he likes does it for me

Answer 10

What an unbelieveable thing for him to say!!!! He is an ungrateful person. You were VERY generous and that was his reply?????
I don't think he has the class to be with you,my dear.
