Question:
I know some girls whose boyfriends buy them clothes to wear, expensive gifts, and give them money. My mother thinks this is not right. What do you think?
I am with your mother. Self‑respecting girls still do not accept presents of clothing, expensive gifts, or money. Such presents should be returned with a polite note saying in essence, “Thanks, but no thanks!”
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
The principle of a boy and a girl being ‘just friends’ until such time that a proposal for marriage is offered and accepted will always be very wise. Gifts of clothing are far too personal and the affect of receiving an expensive gift or money is far too binding on the emotions and clouds the thinking. It is important for a girl when she’s considering a proposal to marry not to have factors of obligation to cloud her mind. The only important consideration is if it is God’s will and if she loves him enough to commit to sharing the rest of their lives together.
