The Wizard (on behalf of The Love Doctor) and now onto a question...

Dear Love Doctor,

I have been in a relationship with a delightful man for about 6 years now. He has absolutely everything! I asked him what he would like for his birthday, and he replied, "Nothing! Just dinner would nice." My question is - is he really telling me the truth or is he just being polite?

Signed,

Not wanting to appear cheap.


Dear Cheap,

Interesting question! I actually have had several people write to me with a similar one! First you need to consider the following:

1) Do they REALLY have 'everything'?
2) Do they think/know that you are short on cash?
3) Are they a clutterbug? Maybe they really don't need anything - and that they do not need any more material gifts? I mean - when it comes to gifts - It IS the thought that counts.

I say - take him out to dinner (Just the 2 of you!) and don't forget to buy a nice card!

Yours,

the Love Doctor
