he's being a jerk... should I still get him a xmas gift?
Question Posted Tuesday November 29 2005, 7:18 pm
A guy that I'm good friends with just moved to another state for a job. I was hoping one day we would be an item. Well right before he moved he was acting like a real jerk to me. He said he would visit me before he left and never did and also didn't phone me like he said he would. It's been a month since he moved and since then I havent received any emails from him.
My question is that I had wanted to get him a Xmas gift, but since he is being such a jerk and just stopped contacting me I don't really want to. After all this I still have feelings for him. Should I wait for him to contact me and get me a Xmas gift first? If he does then I will still get him a gift and will know if he still is interested. Otherwise, if he doesnt get me a gift I'm not getting him one.
What do you think I should do?

If he gets you a gift and starts talking to you again, then get him a gift. [ xxoBriannax's advice column | Ask xxoBriannax A Question ]

Who knows what the future will bring. Maybe you two will one day be together. But not until he can atleast make some attempt to contact you. It's basically a guys way of saying that don't have tons of interest right now.
Not to mention why should you spend all that money only to find out he never calls or never buys you a gift? It'll lead you to heartbreak.
Worse comes to worse, if he does come around late into the season, and you guys do get together, just give him a late gift. It won't hurt. If he gave you a gift for whatever reason just say, "I'm so sorry it slipped my mind, I'll get you a late christmas gift."
See the magic in that?
Perfect..and you'll have the ball in your court. In other words... you get to be in control :]
