he can but it's doesn't have to be anything really expensive. If he doesn't the girl shouldn't mind either.
 
This is where communication comes in. If the guy said "I'm doing this and this for your birthday" then no, I wouldn't think he should feel obligated--it would be nice if that was an extra, but not a necessity. On the other hand, if the girlfriend said "I really would like ___ for my birthday" and then he takes her out, without giving the all-clear that it was intended as her birthday celebration, well, then everyone's frustrated.

Couples really need to talk more and "think" less.
 
Gifts are always optional and never a requirement. Consider this: if you had to force a guy to get you a gift, would you really even want it? My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years now, and I used to get all upset when he didn't get me what I wanted for my bday, but now I remind myself how lucky I am to have someone to take me out and celebrate birthdays with. Being lonely would be worse than not having a present. But a gift would be an added bonus, and I don't think that's too much to ask of your fella if you guys are pretty serious :) Just don't forget to be grateful!
 
i;m not sure because that might have been his present to you, best not to say anything about it to him and if he doest buy you anything then , yeah im Pretty sure u had ur present! gd luck..
 
I don't think so because he is being thoughtful enough to take her to a nice restaurant and a movie. If he were to get a gift, something small or homemade....something thoughtful. I really wouldn't expect a gift after a nice evening because being with my significant other is really enough of a gift for me :)
 
Nah. It's not necessary. Unless he really, really, really wants to...and is insistent on getting something else, and won't cave, then he shouldn't get anything else.
 
the dinner and movie is more of the experiance with eachother and making a good nights memory. Both of you can share this night and its fun.
this can serve as a gift.
howeve personally i am all about lasting gifts and giving something that daily the girl in my life can use, wear, have and enjoy.
Great pair of designer sunglasses for instance.
 
Is it the girl's birthday that the by took her to those places? If yes, then maybe he still should buy the girl a present if he really loves her. But a small token for love. The smallest present with love is the biggest present anyone could ever give...
 
Depends. If he's taking her to dinner and the movies for her birthday then no, but it'd be cute. If it's not for her birthday, then he should, but just something little and thoughtful.
 
I wouldn't think it would be a big deal if he didbn't, guys you shouldn't ever go overboard, the dinner and movie would be plenty for me!
 
he shouldn't HAVE to but a thoughtful man would!!! pfft my husband of FIVE years bought me a gallon of rum and some cheap crap from walmart on the way home for christmas LOL i was pissed and he knew it!! so for my birthday the next month, he put a lot more thought into it. and THATS what matters, putting thought heart and love into something. it doesn't have to be something extravegent (though that would be nice, c'mon!) just something that took thought! but i never had a guy who was great at presents! it was always a bummer. my mans getting better though. hes in training lol

edit: cmon girls you know you go to dinner and movie for a regular date, somethings gotta be SPECIAL, a love note even!
x casual x you are so wrong! what a !!!!, you dont give your girl love to get sex and if you do QUIT USEING HER

man these chicks are deprived! and i thought i was, i beter give my man a big kiss when he gets home.
