If A Girl Says She Doesn’t Like Gifts…

1. You’re asking us if we know if a hypothetical stranger is lying?

2. Yes.

   Or no.

   Really depends on the person. Is she a person who likes or dislikes receiving gifts? If yes, then no. However if no, then yes.

3. yesss, until the relationship’s far more serious

   could be many reasons: green (environmental), dislikes feeling obligated to the gifter (sees it as manipulative), etc.

4. Give her food.

5. She could be very independent, or have a complex history with gifts. If family have bought gifts instead of apologizing when they’ve acted poorly towards her, she may feel uncomfortable with gifts. Spending quality time, being helpful (maybe folding laundry, helping to wash tall windows, or taking over some homemade cooking) could be a better option than a store bought gift. There are so many creative free date options out there, or very low cost date options. If they’re a minimalist or utilitarian it could be hard for them to accept a gift too—if they don’t have a purpose for it. There are so many ways to show someone you care about them and they’re valued without spending money.

   Best wishes!

6. Depends on the girl. I for one don’t like gifts but that’s because my ex would hold it over my head to make me feel bad about it when he was mad at/about something.

7. Maybe that’s not her love language. You know of the five love languages, by Gary Chapman? Ask her if she knows of them.

8. Perhaps she values shared experiences more than gifts. If she does not want expensive gifts, maybe she would like thoughtful/meaningful gifts. As someone above mentioned, learn her love language.
