Hey, Advice section of the forum. Longtime listener, first time caller. I've got a dilemma that I hope you internet strangers can advise me on.
Basically there is a co-worker(oh no) I am interested in, we've known each other over a year but recently started properly talking a month or so ago after hitting it off at a social event. We chat daily on facebook and over the company IM chat solution(due to shifts face to face interaction at work is limited to non-existent), with her being the initiator 8/10 times. We have been on two "dates" so far which have gone well but no kissing, very little physical contact because I haven't really been sure of just how interested she is, a good friend(and colleague) has already told me she is interested but I am a low self esteem guy so haven't believed him. Now, to the meat and potatoes of it all. It is her birthday next week and she has invited me to a birthday meal with her(just the two of us).
My question to you is would it be strange/too full on to bring a small gift? I'm thinking something very small, on the same level of a birthday card. If this were a friend(which she is at the very least) I would bring something no question but the romantic/dating angle is screwing me up.
