" The holidays might be a great time to jump into a new relationship, but a new relationship is also a great time for disastrous gift exchanges. Examples: He surprises you with a romantic sleigh ride, you can&amp;#x27;t go because you have a date with the other guy you&amp;#x27;re seeing that night. You spend hours picking out a sweater that will match his eyes, an anthology of short stories by his favorite author, and a bottle of that pricey Scotch he&amp;#x27;s always wanted to buy; he gives you a $15 Sephora gift card. He thinks it would make a great gift if you wore one of those insane Christmas lingerie ensembles; you vehemently disagree. Yikes. I honestly don&amp;#x27;t know the right answer for the hazy dating situation gift exchange, and given my uncomfortable feelings about general first date gifts, I have a feeling lots of you might beg to differ from my opinions on the subject anyway. So take this quick poll with a few options, or just write in your own general rule for when you would exchange gifts with a guy you were dating, and then let&amp;#x27;s discuss. What&amp;#x27;s your rule of thumb for Christmas gift exchanges when it comes to dating? Have you ever been in a situation where you weren&amp;#x27;t sure whether or not you should get a guy a gift? Have you ever been in a situation where one of you did get a gift but the other didn&amp;#x27;t? Stories, please!
