think about it you have your best friend (this on is for da ladies) and he's a guy, u ve know for a long time and was very close. and u just get a boyfriend. and if you were buying for a guy "which i doubt a girl would do that" u would be for him, then if YOU WANT TO buy for ur friend, (as long if it doesn't lay i love you it should be fine) because a card shows that u care about them, if it says "i love you" its too much.
and y should you be upset, its just a card, and it isn't like there kissing. "if my girlfriend got a card for her GUY friend i wouldn't be upset unless it said see you tonight or something"
now if u get upset like this it would be very jealous and self centered, and u wouldn't deserve him but i don't think you would do something as selfish as that because u seem like a very nice girl. And anyone that would get mad over something as simple as that is VERY insecure, and VERY jealous and does not need to be in a proper relationship till she or he gets his/her act together, because relation ships are all about trust. note : what would a relationship be if you smothered him and he couldn;t live?
you would both be miserable, and u would be ruining his life,
please m ake the right choice.

Depends on the gift. If you're talking about a card and some chacolates then do not get upset about that. I hope you can respect that while he ideally "loves" you - he also has emotional obligations to his friends and if they're female, he may feel like he needs to get them a gift.
Now if he doesn't buy you a gift as well, or buys her like some really riske underware or something of that nature, thats more of a come on and maybe something you should question him on. Even then don't let your emotions get the better of you, just incase there really is a GOOD reason why he bought her those kinds of things.

Come on ladies do none of us have trust in our men? I would not be upset I mean he obviously told you about it. Now if he bought her something better then he did me then look out the boxing gloves are coming on lol but other then that I think it is a sweet jester to a good friend is all

Of course it depends on the individual relationship you are your partner have. I am comfortable enough in my relationship that my boyfriend could buy a close friend a Valentine's Day gift. Of course it shouldn't be sexy lingerie or anything of that nature, but rather a small token just to say, "I care" or "you are loved [on a platonic level]."

Well personally I would get a little irritated, but on the other hand I would do the same thing to a close male friend. If the person is elderly or very youngI wouldn't mind if he spent more on them than me, but if they were at an appropiate age, yes I would mind.

Well, it all depends. If he has been friends with her a long time, there is no harm. This means he clearly has no objective of going further. EXEPTION: If he spends more on the gift for her then he does on the gift for you, it doesn't matter his relationship with her. This means he cares more about her (usually) then you. Time to find a new man in this case.

no your bf or husband should only buy u a gift for v day. If he buy a gift for a female friend then i would be worried.

I would not like that at all, a Valentines day gift has romantic connections to it so that would be wrong for me.

hell no! Unless she is a mutual friend between the two of you and she recently got dumped/divorced and the gift is from BOTH of you as a way to try and cheer her up, other than that...HELL NO! If he's trying to buy her a gift for v-day he must like her more than he's admitting to.

It depends
Is she single? If so then I wouldn't be mad or upset. It's lonely for people on Valentines day that are single. Also, did you tell you he bought her something? If so, he obviously wanted you to know.
