| I think some of it has to do with the person's social class. Some grow up receiving lavish gifts on holidays and birthdays. To them, giving an expensive gift to someone they are genuinely interested in is just a token without necessarily hidden meanings. A first date, though, regardless would make me question if it was stolen or is this a scam.

| That's why we all are individuals with our own perceptions and ideas of what is right and what is wrong. I have declined expensive gifts in the past. I decide that. Honestly it doesn't matter what someone may want in return. It's up to you what they get if anything.

| I didn't say he wanted something in return, I just said I think it's wrong. Doesn't make me shallow, actually it makes you shallow taking his gift when you hardly know the guy.

| Flowergirl I wasn't responding to you. But thanks for giving me your thoughts on my being shallow.
Actually we spoke regularly for about 3 months before our date and I was pretty sure of the kind of person he was.

| Well I would bring some flowers but nothing more then that. Depends on how long you talked on the phone or chatted online before the first date. I mean if you had been talking to him for 4-6 months before then I can see why he would of bought the camera. Did you get a calle from him after the date? If not then maybe there was an agenda, if so maybe he was being nice.

| Yes Carolina Guy he and I are still very good friends. We speak often and try to find things that pertain to Autism that might be helpful with his son. I would say we have been friends for about a year now.

| If it is from me ,it is meant as a gift .
After it is exchanged from my hands to yours ,it then belongs to you ,
to do with as you wish .
Give it back ,if you feel you must , accept it as a token of my affection, as it was intended or place it in the closet .Or sell it .
Ps , I don't buy new or used cars or airplanes for any gal for our first date .
