Birthdays are special to me. I feel the need to make them special for those for whom I care, as well. I'm perhaps going a little over-the-top for someone I've only known for a few weeks, but I don't feel it's inappropriate. He's taken me out to several meals at places that were not cheap; pulling out the stops for a nice homecooked birthday meal with wine & dessert seems more than appropriate. He wanted to pay for the ingredients, or the wine, and I insisted that he let me. Yes, he has a good job that pays well, and I'm unemployed, but that isn't the point. I don't want to be taking advantage, and I don't think it's right to ask someone to contribute to their own birthday gift, either.
Can't wait to share my favorite romantic movie with him, see if he enjoys it at much as I do. I know he'll appreciate the meal, and that will make the effort worthwhile. Spending time together, getting to know one another better, that's a good thing. I'm looking forward to tonight.
I'm looking forward to a lot, lately. It's fantastic.

He was very complimentary of my cooking, and liked the movie. It was a nice feeling to give someone special treatment for his birthday. Now I have to try not to be impatient that he'll be unavailable for over a week, due to business & other commitments.
