Should I gift a TV to a female co worker on whom I have a minor crush?

Noah Fencebutt this has to be the the most bizarre gift idea I've ever heard.

If you approach any female in the office , put your head down, avoid eye contact , and never talk to her.

Offer to mount it in her bedroom. Go from there.

No no no. Seriously dude. No. You will be instantly catapulted into the “desperate punk who makes large gestures too early” category. There’s no recovering. Do not do this. For real.

Got to agree with the above. Also, she might feel that you are paying her for sex with a TV, or she might feel compelled to go out with you in exchange for the TV, and you'll never know if she likes you. Just ask her out and don't mention the TV. If the subject of the TV comes up, just mention that you're looking for a charity to donate it too.

I won a 50 inch TV worth about $500 at work for working a lot of overtime. I don’t want and am thinking about offering it to a female co worker who flirts with me. I don’t think the flirting is serious, but am attracted to her. Would it cause awkwardness to gift her the TV? It’s not like I bought it for her, but it still feels like it might be too much.

Totally weird and would probably be taken as coming on too strong. Could also affect your employment depending on how serious your workplace takes such things.

DON'T GIFT Her for the following one reasons.

She is your coworker and once you give her the TV you might expect her to return favors or to fell for you. If this won't happen, you will be miserable as you will always be seeing her at work. She might even start dating another coworker or your coworker friend and that might even make things worse as now you will be angry at your coworker friend plus her.

And that's just the beginning of the woes.

If she is a gossipy girl and noticed that you gave her a TV coz you had a crush on her, she might spread the word that you gave her the TV to get into her pants.

Ask her out normally without any stupid gifts.

Good luck!

yea do that. if you want to be in the friend zone for the rest of your life and have tyrone and jamal clappin her cheeks while you stand on the side lines.

No. Just no.

No.

Only if she wants it.

Give it to her in the box.

Seriously, it's too easy for this to backfire on you. This is why holiday gift exchanges have a price limit like $20 or less. With an expensive gift, she will think that you've got an agenda. She will tell others in the office who will view differently for going past simple flirting with an "office spouse". If you want to continue to be her friend at work, keep talking to her. If you want to ask her out, then ask her out if you get a clear sense of an opportunity that won't disrupt the workplace dynamic. Chances are though, if you knew this woman in a different context outside of work, you would not be considering giving her this gift.

She is gonna watch Cross Fit games on it with her boyfriend.

Giving an employer sponsored incentive award for massive overtime to someone who is not in the overtime game is a sure way to get you arse fired. It goes to the second place guy

Don't give her the TV under any circumstances. That will make you look like a moran and she will never respect you and she may become scared of you.

This. The fact that you're even considering it makes me think you are destined to get friend zoned.

Right answer.

Mhmm definitely do that....

One time I just "gifted" a girl I had a "minor crush" on my car worth several thousand dollars. In return she decided not to date me because I couldn't drive her on dates. But at least I still have a TV so I can Netflix and chill with new, better chicks

OP, if serious, no. This is f-ing weird. Just weird.

Here's what is going to happen:

You are going to "gift" the TV to this female co-worker on a Friday

She is going to take it home.

Monday morning, you're going to ask "Did you get the TV setup okay?"

She is going to reply with "Yes! My boyfriend and I love it!!! Thank you SO much"

Epic Fail.

Just do yourself a favor and sell the thing on Craigslist for like $200 and avoid feeling like a moran. Then go out and buy yourself something you do want.

Lol!!!

You're gonna end in the "creep " zone bro. Just sell the bloody TV or pass it on to a family member and call it a day.
