Cause I mean even my friends who havent beeen with their bfs that long are getting more than a POSTER. COme on people. Flowes say I'm sorry. Choclates say I love you, and a poster says i'm an imature little boy who needs to grow up. SO any comments?

No, you should not be upset. Instead you should be greatful for what he got you. He probably thought that you would enjoy the poster and was excited when he saw it and thought of you. You know how guys are when it comes to gifts, but you should also be happy that he is getting you something because he could easily just skip the gift giving thing. It does not by any means mean he is immature. If anything I would have to say you are immature for being materialistic like that. Just enjoy his company and the gift you get from him, no matter what it is.

It's easy to hate a person for not showing you love the way you want them to show you love.

A mature person loves thier partner no matter what way that partner shows love, even if that way kind of sucks.

Besides, at the time of you writing this you didn't even know for sure. Give the guy a damn break. No reason to hate on him before he's even made the mistake yet.

So comments: You grow up, be gracious and thank him. Next time thier is a gift-giving occassion, prep him propperly for the kind of gift you most like to recieve. Only then while you know if he is actually insenstive to you, or he if he is just a bit clueless.

It is entirely up to you whether you turn valintines day into a bitch fest or not. Be gracious, but honest with him about what gifts you would most like to recieve. If he screws up next time, then you can unleash your inner bitch on him, but this time, cut the poor boy some slack.

Sure, a poster isn't the nicest gift to receive on valentine's day, but it's the thought that counts, right? I'm sure your boyfriend thought long and hard about something he could get you that you would like and use for a long time. Yeah, it probably didn't cross his mind that you were looking for something a bit more romantic.

Guys aren't the brightest when it comes to gifts, but at least they try to make us happy. They need help with that sometimes.

If you're worried about it still, next time give him a list of things he could get you so you won't be disappointed.

I think it's little.
I believe every lady should recieve a nice gift, a card, some chocolates and even a flower. Flowers say, "I appreciate you." But maybe he has something extra he hasn't told you about and just wants to surprise you so don't give up hope yet.
