Dating Question

Originally posted by evenodds
Okay, I have been discussing a situation with one of my girlfriends whose birthday is next week.

She has just started dating this new guy. They've been out once or twice, and she likes him.

She'd like to go out with him for her birthday.

Should she remind him that her birthday is next week and hope he steps up? Should she schedule something with him for her birthday, but not tell him it's her birthday? Or something else?
I essentially concur with St. F the B on this. It's too soon to expect the guy to do something romantic and special. She should have her friends arrange some sort of gathering and have her friends invite the new guy. This should be a "no gifts allowed" affair so he does not feel the pressure of shopping for a woman he may like but hardly knows. This kind of pressure can cause a man to bail.

Scheduling something on her birthday - without telling him it's her birthday - registers strongly on the psychometer.
