Gifts
Gift buying for guys birthdays are IMPOSSIBLE!
I've been seeing this guy for almost 2 months now and we're exclusive. His birthday is quickly approaching in a few weeks and I don't know what to do. Clearly I think that I need to recognize it in some way, but I'm not ready for a mushy card or even a funny card because I don't know exactly where we stand other than that we're not seeing other people. Should I get him a gift? He loves sports and I think going to a game would be fun, but I don't want to spend alot of money and he's super opposed to me ever "buying"... what do i do?!?!? what do you think he would most appreciate?

I've been with my boyfriend for nearly 7 years now and I've always had a hard time with gifts. I think the gifts he has enjoyed the most have been some sort of gadget that he can't wait to rip open and play with or an experience of some kind, like a nice dinner out or a trip.
At two months, don't spend too much but do something that shows you want to make his day special. Cooking him a nice dinner at home with a bottle of wine and dessert would be perfect. An inexpensive gift would be fine too, but don't go overboard.
(Then again, from the dates on this you've probably already done something. It would be cool to hear what you did and how it went over!)

As far as the whole buying thing, it is his birthday and if you want to get him something do it. For a price I would judge by what you want to spend but think about how much he spends on you. If he likes to splash the cash it would not be inappropriate for you to splurge on him for a special occasion.

I'm a big fan of "financial cooperation"...
I'm a big fan of "financial cooperation" in a relationship. I don't believe the guy should buy everything. So getting him a gadget, or tickets to a sports game, or an iTunes giftcard, etc. is not a bad idea. Don't overspend, you've only been dating two months.
On the other hand, he's a guy. When it comes to gifts, we are much like women: thoughtfulness is appreciated. FOR THIS REASON, a very sensual evening, followed by amazing sex (letting him take the dominant role of receiving pleasure) may be a very good idea.
In the end, you know him better than any of us. Have fun :)

It sounds like the best gift you can give is one of time. Set up some kind of fun date that doesn't cost money - make him a cake or dinner, go for a picnic, go hiking or biking or some sport you both like. Let him know that you'd like to do something for him on his birthday if that's okay, though.
I am coming from a different generation, but I would think a small gift is appropriate. You're sleeping together and you're exclusive, you must at least be friends. (I'll try not to freak out on you here :-).) The gift doesn't have to be sentimental or romantic.
If you are worried, you could say something about how is birthday is coming and maybe even suggest that you were thinking of getting him something and see how he reacts.
Another thought, if he doesn't like you to pay on dates, you could just give him tickets to a game as a birthday present.
