When Valentines day rolls around we will have been seeing eachother for about 5 weeks. What is a good gift for a 23 year old male? Is it even OK for me to get him something or is that pushing it? Thanks :)

If he seems like he's really into you and into the relationship, not someone who will be looking for another chick in a few weeks, then I would say yeah it's OK. Go small, too big too flashy or too expensive might freak him out or make him feel retarded if he didn't go all out. You don't have to be strictly V-day themed with all the holiday specific stuff out there. Get him something that he really likes. A movie or cd or clothes doesn't scream psycho girlfriend and he will be able to enjoy it all year, not just February. A framed pic of the two of you is sweet also. Are you sure that he's getting you something? If you get him something and he doesn't have anything to give in return, he might feel like stupid. To be on the safe side do what I do--buy something, wrap it and hide it. Make sure it's returnable so that if he doesn't get you anything you can take it back and he'll never know the defference, but if he does have a gift for you, all you have to do is get it out of your closet or where ever and you are good to go!

His age is irrellevant once he's over 21. Anything more than a card is a bit much for barely a month. If you don't know him well enough to know what he likes and what he would feel was appropriate, then you should not get him anything more than a card. A humorous one, not something serious with lacy hearts and such.
I think a nice dinner, going dutch, is more appropriate. Keep in mind that most of society feels that the guy should pay (I'm not saying I agree, but...), so chances are, if he isn't at least offering, maybe he doesn't feel the same way you do. That's typical of most situations, but might not reflect yours.
Still, if you're more seriously involved by the time of his birthday or major holiday, then you can consider gift giving.
If he shows up with flowers or something else, fine. It still leaves you in a good place, even if you only bought a card. If he shows up with nothing, then at least you ONLY bought a card, right?
Valentine's Day is about an idea, not about a gift. Keep that in mind, and enjoy the day with him ;)

My wife and I first met and started dating three weeks before Valentine's day. We still exchanged gifts. Since we were still getting to know each other, she burned a CD with a bunch of her favorite songs and titled it, "Getting to know you". She put it in a bag full of Hershey's kisses. I thought it was a great idea.
What ever you do, I wouldn't spend a lot of money.

Definitely get him something. It doesn't have to be big, but it's always better to be over prepared rather than under prepared. Or what about if you prepared him an at home, home-cooked meal. I did this for my boyfriend and he LOVED it. He said noone had ever went to that much trouble for him. I decorated the room with a few balloons and candles.

I think something small, maybe like a gift card to his favorite store, or a CD and a card.. but not too mushy one..
Nothing would be like your saying.. i'm not interested in taking this anywhere.. too much would be i'm addicted to you...!

A card and perhaps candy will do. Don't over do it. take one step at a time. If you are still together next year. Perhaps something more in the range of $10.00-$25.00
