We've been dating almost a year and he's never bought me flowers.?

What kind of bullshit is that?

I see other girls getting stuff from their boyfriends all the time, even the ones who don't have jobs find a way to be romantic. And i'm over here with a boyfriend who doesn't even try, has never bought me anything. I'm not shallow and i don't need people to buy me stuff all the time, but it makes me feel unappreciated.

How do i approach the subject with him without sounding really shallow?

Update:

I have bought him things -___-

Update 2:

I MADE him flowers for Valentine's Day. BACON FLOWERS. I spent all afternoon shaping bacon like roses and cooking it. And he basically put them in the fridge and forgot about them.

Update 3:

He thinks that lighting a candle once every couple months makes him romantic. -__-

Update 4:

I don't think i should have to ask for my boyfriend to show me he's thinking about me.

    Do you service him? If you do then you deserve flowers.

    Don't let anyone make you feel bad for this. Your feelings are normal. You simply want your

    boyfriend to be more thoughtful. This doesn't mean getting expensive things, but you

    want to know that he's thinking of you. People who insulted you are living in some fantasy world.

    You going to sound shallow either way. What have YOU bought him over the year? If you say you didn't buy him anything then you're stupid.

    You do not need materials to be happy. Love is what counts. I think you lost touch of what really matters in a relationship.

    Edit:

    You sound like a brat. Just because you bought him something you do not need to expect something in return.

    flowers die, ask for a potted plant instead. some of us are dense and take things for granted. I dont remember birthdays, anniversies, or ages. I tell her I need to be gently reminded, (like with 2 X 4 over the head.) she compromised with a dry erase board calander with all the important stuff written on it that I occasionally notice.

    Maybe you need to find someone who fits you and your wants and needs

    If he hasn't bought you flowers yet, he won't and you are just a covenant toy

  • When did you last buy him flowers? A relationship is a two-way street.

    Boo hoo.

    You're been with him for year yet find it uncomfortable to ask him to buy you flowers?

    Appreciation goes far deeper than material items. You should re-think your notions.
