Dating advice (Gay)?

So I recently started talking to a guy. It's been a bit over a week, and his birthday is next Friday. He is a huge avatar the last airbender fan, so I decided to get him a water bender necklace for his birthday and buying him a cup cake from one of his favorite cupcake stores. Problem is, he is always busy since his major is demanding. I'm busy too, but I just don't want our busy schedules to eventually lead to the interest fading away. Any tips?
