I wonder if I should think of getting a small Christmas gift for him in that case?? We're not (well, I wouldn't call it that) bf/gf at this point, even though we talked every Sunday for the four Sundays I was there in the spring, and on Skype ever since, I still feel we're in the getting-to-know-you stage, as friends, but there seems to be a good possibility for more to develop......we do flirt a bit and I think its clear we're both attracted, and enjoy one another's company; AND both a bit reserved.......I do wonder about the appropriateness of a small Christmas gift, however.........certainly hadn't thought of that before today's video visit......any suggestions??

Denise32 is verified as being by the original poster of the question Thanks, OlderSister! I think what you suggest is the best way to go. I am taking a bar of Ghiradelli chocolate to give him when I get there as a small gift - but that's no more than I'd do for my Mother or a woman friend anyway......
I must admit that one of the things I like about being friends with him is that I - and I don't think he - have felt the need to "discuss our relationship." Communication is pretty comfortable at this point, and as my therapist has pointed out, such a talk wouldn't be appropriate at this stage. I'm just looking forward to getting together and enjoying ourselves - in addition to seeing other friends and having a good time generally - after all, I expect to be going out and about on my own, plus taking Mother to the seaside for the day, anyway........
Hope you're doing well; your responses to various posters is always excellent, I think!
