Every single person who trashed the boyfriend in the comments for not taking her has no idea what the term "giving a gift means". A true gift is given not expecting something in return. She gave him the tickets and expected that he would take her to the concert in return. That is not giving a gift, that is quid pro quo. It is commerce. If she was expecting him to take her, she did not give him a gift. She gave him a gift to give to her.

well duh, someone's gotta be makin sandwiches...

next time just say: "hi darling, i bought US concert tickets to see this band, now WE can go TOGETHER!" it's called being clear. you still give him one ticket so it's still a gift!

agree with evil dave. If the op wanted to go she should have said "I am taking you to see *insert band* on *insert date* for your birthday!" he would have been happy and she could have got him a small gift. if the tickets were a gift and she expected to be taken she was not giving him a gift really...

It's your fault. You can't expect him to take you, sure that would be nice of him but its his gift he should be able to use it how he wants. If you wanted it to be you and him you should have said so when you gave him the tickets.

when u gave it to' him you should have said " i bought US tickets to' see your favorit band, WE Are going to' have so much fun HAPPY BIRTHDAY "

You should have bought three tickets. Bros before hoes.

17 n 21 hit the nail right on the head. You Definitely deserved this one. I wouldve Been upset too tho, can't lie.. but still, ydi.
