sounds like a bad teen movie

here's a test: move in together, if you can stand each others bad habits after 3 months and still have the urge to buy her expensive gifts, nice dinners and marathon sex, then you've found love

dude sounds like hes whipped!


Edit: fail for whoever that failed me. i thought this was pretty obvious! early in the relationship, dude wants to keep her longer, gets her a ring! a ring symbolizes a more longer relationship. either that, or the girl is a gold digger!

hes setting the bar too high, and is only gonna kill himself each time he gives a gift because you have to go higher than the bar each time

you did your job as a friend to let him know, its up to him if he wants to listen or not. if he doesn't, let him learn the hard way

Let him do whatever he wants. It's not like he's gonna get an engagement ring and ask her to marry him or anything

damn, me too

What for.......? so his friend is into that stuff.

You say your friend asked your opinion. You gave it. Now he's making his own decision about his life. Just because he asked for your opinion does not mean he's going to or has to agree with it. Stay a good friend and let him know your opinion, but that it's still up to him to decide to do what he wants in 'his' life.

He'll do what he feels is right for him. There is nothing wrong with setting the bar high now a days most people set it too low and put little to no value on a healthy real relationship.

yeah, that's what i thought too =\

a $200 gift after 6 months doesnt sound that out of place to me
It's the cost of a really nice dinner, which combined with valentines day and the duration of their relationship seems appropriate especially if things are going well.
Yes he may be setting the bar higher for future gifts, but it doesnt mean the next one would have to be $1000 value or something

been there done that,
the only way he'll learn is through the hard way
just let it be
you've put in your 2 cents and you've said wut u were supposed to say and tahts all a friend should/can do

hmm well...my bf bought a pair of rings for the both of us when we hit the six months line, and well, we're still together right now and it's been 2 years..and well now we know we're both right for each other and everything's all planned out for the future..

i guess its different for everyone, maybe your friend will end up like me and my bf. plus i'm not the type of materialistic girl that looks for pricey gifts and such, so maybe...just MAYBE she isnt one either =) we never know

just let him do his thing, plus like all the people above have said, let him learn through the process of this relationship for better or for worse. It's his life & not yours. If he fucks up, he'll remember that you've warned him and that you're a great friend =)

^ I smell an RS couple!!!! K Chan and fi.0922(your name is too long) Sitting on a tree K.I.S.......

^lol... :P

Because that dude is a pussy so therefore the girl is the man in the relationship.
