4. Asking him for a rare, limited edition item as a gift
“Just finding it is incredibly tedious…” He wants to make you happy, but that’s incredibly hard to do if you ask for a rare, hard-to-get present just because it’s the latest trend. If you make a request, at least add a thoughtful, “I’d love anything you get for me, though,” so your boyfriend doesn’t feel like a loser if he spends hours in line for a sold-out item.
