So... I will throw in my two cents. A gift is a great idea. A uber personal gift that you give realities on their kids first birthday, probably not a good idea. You should give something small that shows a token of appreciation... The quilt is very personal and thoughtful which is appropriate for a more intimate relationship, than what you've described.

Just my opinion. Take everyone's advice and ASK HER OUT already ;)

Do something smaller first and slowly work up to it.

I agree. Im not a girl but I gave my wife gifts when we 1st started going out. Things like what she collected. Back then it was teddy bears. Ask her what she loves or collects. Then buy something small at 1st, like what TurtleTortoise mentioned.

LOL....now, being a grown woman and all it has taken me all of my 44 years to say that my reply to Toms deep felt statement (along with his add of a new word to our language :p:p) is;

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT !!!!! LOL some days Tom, I just say "seriously? What the hell are you doing Angela"....LOL :D:D:D:D:D

Cap, you rock and if this chick does not get it then....well, her loss :D

If you are 99% sure, then you should ask her out first; coffee, etc.
However, if you just can't do that (I know many have advised you take that step, but it IS really hard), you need to do something. She already knows you are a really nice guy. So give her the gift. You need to make the leap!

LOL!!!! No, they are quilts that are made by cutting the edges of the pieces in strips and tying them together.

I have seen where people use neck ties to make a sunburst pattern in a quilt, but I am pretty sure we are talking about the fuzzy fleece kind here ;)

David, I'm curious if this is the same girl that you asked for advice about the last time? If you're 99% sure then why haven't you asked her out for coffee yet? I'm with Yvonne on the gift, I'd ask her out first.
