Hi,

When is the right time to buy expensive gifts for girl friend when dating ? If she is your wife there is no problem at all, girl friend the problem is you dont know if she is gonna stay or not with you.
Usually the men are expected to buy the expensive gifts for the women, I observe this.

Would like opinions of woman also, hope they are here.

I think it's healthy for me to avoid using money as a way of gaining leverage in a relationship. It's not about money (or at least I don't want relationships to be).
The tables can turn too, so what if you marry a doctor and you're the stay at home parent?

In my experience a lot of decent women don't necessarily need a gift to be expensive just something to show that you care. But then this could partly depend on the occasion and how long you've been together.
 
I don't think you should look at the price tag of an item but consider more how the woman would react to the gift. If you buy her something expensive that she does not want and has no interest in, she won't use it. But if you talk with her and listen to what she says in the relationship you might find something cheap but that would have a lot more meaning to her.
 
I had a similar situation with my girlfriend a while back. I wanted to do something special for her but wasn't sure how much was too much too soon. I ended up getting her a set of custom underwear because it felt personal but not over-the-top. She loved the thoughtful touch, and it didn't break the bank. It's all about finding a balance—something that shows you care but feels appropriate for the stage you're at. Personal gifts like this can be a great way to show you’re thinking of her without going overboard.

I don't think about it. I just do it if I want. It’s more about the sentiment behind the gift rather than the timing. I’ve found that genuine gestures mean more, regardless of the relationship stage. From my experience, the value isn’t always in the price tag but in the thought and effort put into the gift. I’ve read some positive SeatGeek reviews for special event gifts, they can be a memorable way to show you care. Just make sure it feels right for you both.

my girlfriends were always much happier with home made presents, fresh flowers, etc. These often take much more time, and have much more heart, than buying some pricey crap on Amazon.

Anyone who needs affection shown through money has issues. That is a person who will not be around "in sickness and in health" so I don't waste my time.

I bought a girlfriend an expensive gift once because she asked for it. She ghosted me afterwards. She only contacted me again to ask for more money.

No idea why the subject of an expensive gift would come up with a girlfriend. I like the little card on flowers. 20 handwritten words are better than a $1,000 gift.
