I've never been comfortable getting gifts from women I've dated, at least in the earlier stages. It feels like they're trying to buy loyalty, that they wish to manipulate me into feeling that I owe them something in return for the gifts. Or maybe they're trying to impress me with their financial status. And I really don't need any more "stuff" to keep track of and clean around. I already buy too much stuff, without any outside help.
