My boyfriend got me nothing for V-Day and I’m So Angry

My boyfriend and I have been together for six months. He is my first boyfriend (while I am his third girlfriend). Throughout the time that we’ve been dating, he’s never done the little things. No flowers. No notes. No surprises. Nothing. All he’s really done is pay for some dates and since he has a car and I don’t, he is our main source of transportation whenever we hang out. After ignoring my feelings on his lack of doing the little things throughout our relationship, I finally brought it up to him about two weeks ago. I texted him and told him that it really makes me feel neglected and undesired when he doesn’t do the little things or show he cares about me through acts of kindness and gave him examples of what I would like. I made sure to mention that if this is too overwhelming if I’m being demanding then he can end the relationship. He responded and told me that he appreciated me telling him and that he would try Awesome.

So a couple days later, he tells me that he wanted to take me out for Valentine’s Day, which I thought was progress. But we hung out today and he literally did nothing for me. Nothing. He didn’t give me a card. No flowers. Didn’t take me out to a restaurant. We just got something to drink and sat in his car for hours. I burst out crying and he asked what’s wrong and I told him that I am not happy. That it was crazy that my own parents sent me something for Valentine’s Day from 1700 miles away but my own boyfriend couldn’t even get me a card. Again I mentioned that I felt neglected and how I’m not feeling heard in the relationship. He said that he felt bad and cried a bit. I told him I loved him but in order for this relationship to continue, we need to compromise and meet each other’s needs. He said okay.

I bought him a gift card to his favorite store but I am thinking of returning it. Can’t believe that my first Valentine’s Day with a partner was spent crying and feeling unloved. Emotionally, I am beyond tired of dealing with this but I still love him a lot. I don’t know what to do.

EDIT: Yes I do pay for gas sometimes. I pay for dates. I spent $140 on a Christmas gift for him. I’ve sent him money to get lunch when he didn’t have any. I do a lot for him.
