3) Give when you get - Give when your date or partner earns it. When they do right by you, or give you a gift, make sure to reciprocate. This displays your gratitude and appreciation. It also increases their satisfaction with the relationship and makes future giving, sharing, and caring more likely. - https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-attraction-doctor/2...

Follow up with a sincere thank you note. If you feel so inclined, reciprocate with a gift at the next appropriate opportunity. - http://www.cnn.com/2010/LIVING/12/21/etiquette.missing.gift/...

Is there any etiquette rule that says I need to reciprocate and give them a gift? The last thing I want to do is be rude, but there's nothing worse than feeling forced to give a gift - https://forums.theknot.com/discussion/1036240/gift-reciproca...
