I just started dating a girl that I really like. We student teach at the same Elementary School and I finally asked her out a couple of weeks ago. We've hung out a couple of times in the teacher's lounge and she's come to visit me at work a few times, but we haven't been out on our first "official" date yet. We're going out next weekend to dinner and something afterward. We are both really into eachother and are both looking foward to going out together.

 

Well, here's my question...She's been out of town for 5 days with her parents and she's coming back tomorrow and I really want to do something to show that I missed her and was thinking of her. I was thinking of a Mix CD with music that show how I feel about her. The songs I selected are all songs that I know she will like.

 

My main question is, is this too early in our relationship to break out the "Mix Tape" gift? Should I wait a little while before I give it to her? Or would she think it was sweet if I gave it to her now? Or would it be coming on too strong?

 

Thanks in advance! I'm just torn on whether or not this is the right time to give this CD to her. I want her to know how I feel about her, but I don't want to scare her off by coming on too strong!

I def think you should. It doesnt sound at all too forward. You might wanna go easy on the cheesy.(the song picks)

you shouldn't worry girls of all ages love a scentamental gift like this. If she's into music, she's love it and she'll remember it;) :D

I don't think it's too forward. It might be if you didn't know the woman beforehand, but if you've teached at the same place, she knows you're not a crazy. My bf and I dated a week before he left on a 3-week vacation. He brought me back all sorts of things, and I thought it really sweet that he was thinking of me!

I disagree. I think it's possible that it's too early. If she feels the same about you she'll think it's sweet, but if she still needs some wooing she might think you're too serious too soon. I think I would just tell her that you missed her while she was gone and leave it at that. I am the type who gets annoyed with guys getting too sappy too soon. We do exist!

 

If you do the CD, though, just make sure that the "feelings" you express aren't too serious. More like "I was just thinking about you and wanted to share some music I really like" instead of "every time I hear this song I think about how I wanna spend the rest of my life with you."

I have to agree with chryssy that it might be too soon. Of course, every person is different and maybe she'll love it, but if you've only had a few dates with her, it seems a little early to tell her how much you like her. Not that you need to hide those things, but, guess you just have to judge how much she likes you, too.

 

If I was totally into the guy, I'd like it because it would me he really liked me, too.

 

If I was NOT totally into the guy, or unsure, I would get turned-off because I'd know right away he liked me more than I liked him.

 

And, are you really sure you know what songs she'll like???;)
