Would this be considered sweet or weird?

(dating/flirting advice needed)

This is somewhat of a long read so please bear with me.

I met this girl about a month ago at my friend’s grad party, and I talked/danced with her a bit. She had a bf at the time, but they broke up 1-2 weeks afterwards.

I saw her at another party and talked a bit. Afterwards we talked a lot on facebook (with some flirting going on). The real icebreaker was one day where my friends, her, and I all went to the beach. We talked the whole day, whether in was the car ride back and forth, laying down in the sand, etc. I realize we have the same sense of humor and laugh at each other’s jokes. I would carry her to the water because she didn’t want to go in, she’d splash me, etc. It was a good time.

That same day we went out to dinner (with friends) except I picked her up and all of us went to my house where I serenaded her with my guitar playing and singing (making eye contact) and we saw a movie. (Where she pinched me a couple of times, we made eye contact, etc.)

We hung out another time at the beach again except I would say I became a little more sweeter with the flirting like playing with her hair (tucking it behind her ears) and resting on her shoulder, etc, just physical stuff. And we had dinner later on that night and we all chilled at my house. (But I noticed she would sometimes glance at me, vice versa).

What I noticed is that both times we went to the beach she only eats a roll with butter.

My question is if it would be sweet or weird if I visited her during work and brought her a roll just for no reason? “Hey, I was around the mall getting food and I’d thought I’d stop by and give you this.” I mean if things move smoothly and she thinks it’s sweet I was thinking of asking her out on the spot in person to dinner and a movie (or something else). If you were in her position what would you think?

You be the judge. (By the way, I only know where she works/when because we went to the mall once and she stopped at work to pick up a check, plus I asked her when she works.)

Also on top of that, I’m leaving for college in about a week so I hope this doesn’t affect her decision. I’m only an hour away and if things worked out, I would visit her once a week.

Or should I just try to get rid of any emotions and move onto college girls because the distance is going to be a factor.

well i think something like that would be sweet..but how about you find a single flower like a daisy and say something like “so i saw this and thought of you” or find out what her favorite candy is. i dunno i just find the roll strange…but it’s a sweet idea!

Women fall for that sort of thing all the time. It means you were paying attention. This one woman who became my girlfriend later and I were talking on the phone. She was at a summer camp with her kids and it was raining. I heard her tell her kids that she would try to find some playing cards for them to use because it was supposed to rain all week. The next morning I dropped 3 decks in the mail to her, she got them the next day. She said it was the sweetest gift she ever got because I was paying attention to her.

I’d say go for it with the roll.

And as far as an hours drive goes, that’s not bad. Her and i were about the same distance apart and that didn’t bother us except missing each other a lot.

well.. i dont know if i would go with the roll my man… because if she only has a roll and butter each time shes with you she might feel insecure about eating around you.. and giving her a roll with butter may make her feel like “oh shoot he noticed” and might make her feel awkward…i think peace has a bit of a better idea going with the single rose or something like taht or some of her favorite candies is sweet… and an hour isnt bad.. i live an hour walk away from my girl and i make the hour walk every otehr day… its not bad and its not a horrible sacrifice.. just an hour of my time and i get to see her all day.. i say make a move :)let us know how it goes..

Well if ya’ll are going to warn him about the bun and she has any kind of eating disorder then maybe candy would be a bad idea as well.

Flowers are always a good thing. One thing I’ve learned over the years is that no matter who the woman is if she is between 3 and 103 she will like flowers. Even women that say they don’t like flowers, still like flowers.

no i didnt mean an eating disorder.. some women are insecure about the way they eat… like maybe the guy will think theyre a slob… or a sloppy eater.. or eats too much.. she probly cares about him so naturally cares what he thinks.. i wasnt trying warn him that she might have an eating disorder.. lol

She DOES NOT have an eating disorder! lol

Now I’m torn between getting her a flower or a roll. A flower is definitely more romantic but I don’t want to flip the switch on her all of a sudden and try to be some macho romantic guy. At least the roll would have a purpose that shows I paid attention, plus I tease her about how she only eats bread sometimes when she should eat more. (She knows I’m kidding though).

Oh and she doesn’t feel insecure eating around me. It’s just at the beach when she has a roll for some reason. When we went to a diner she went and got this huge cheeseburger.

You say you guys have the same sense of humour, whatever you bring her or do, use that, and whatever you decide to do, do it confidently

Thats what I said, go for it with the roll. Or a dozen rolls :).

Now if you could find a bakery that made rolls in the shape of roses, that would rock!

Rolls, definitely! :D

For a second she may think it is weird, but then she’ll smile and be like, ‘He cares. He notices things about me.’ She sounds like she is into you, so go for it!

I would vote no on flowers. They are too… well, they aren’t special. They are a typical gift, and won’t mean anything. Girls like to feel special. ;D (Don’t we all?)

Plus rolls are delicious. :D
