Blur83 Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 The long and short of the situation is this: There is a female friend at work whom I've known for about six months that I am interested in, and the interest is mutual; however, we aren't dating because we've talked and agreed that it would be a conflict of interest to do so until one of us gets a new job (which we are both looking for). We had this discussion about a month ago, and have become even closer since that time, however, we are still just friends at this point. Recently, as in the last two weeks, her job has her stress level sky high, as she has been working 12 hour days and has a lot of pressure on her from corporate for year-end implementations. She has basically been a nervous wreck these last few days. Anyway, she and I never really talked about getting each other anything for Christmas as it was a bit of an awkward subject, so we ended up just getting each other a card, which we exchanged this past Wednesday. She has been out of town since that night, and will return on Tuesday. Seeing as she's been so stressed lately, I was thinking of getting her a gift card to a spa, which she can use for whatever she wants. I've done things like that for friends before, but it was never during the holiday season ... so my real question is should I do this, or would that make things awkward and make me seem desperate? Like I said, I'm thinking about it because I care, but I wouldn't want her to feel awkward. Holidays always make things awkward, anyway. Thanks for any responses!
january2010 Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 I think it would be a fine line and you've mutually agreed to that line being drawn. Hope you managed to make a decision, sorry your post was not answered in time.
