I have a second date coming up with an amazing guy and I was thinking about buying him a small gift relating to something we have in common/bond over during our first date. Is a second date too soon to gift him something?

Very sweet but too soon. Might scare him off 😂

What do you get for someone in 10bucks? Like a pastry or something? Get him a doughnut. It’ll be a nice little thing for him to take back home. Lol.

Too soon.

(But buy it and stash it for the 4th or 5th date, lol.)

Yes

Something small, like a cup cake or whatever would be fine. Nothing huge. Like I do flowers, or something of the sort with women.

That’s a huge red flag - just no

Nah.

I think it would be a really nice gesture but everyone is different. If he has any commitment issues the "gift too soon" could backfire (36M)

WHAT IS THE GIFT? So curious. Lol

Depends n what it is, something small and easy to grab, then fine, but don’t go out of your way - it reads as clingy and insecure.

A gift is v weird this early

Your company should be his gift. Make it worth his time.

Not awful at all but probably too soon.

Has anyone ever been in a mostly platonic relationship? I don’t like to label myself much, but I don’t really like intimacy and don’t really like romance.

It would be nice to find someone, but have it be platonic (any gender/sex). It’s weird, I know. It’s hard to articulate as well. Can anyone relate? 😭😭
