iPhone 7/Plus Buying iPhone as a gift

[ssl0408]

I would not accept that type of gift from a work friend.

Edited to add: I am surprised we have not seen any female input thus far.

I bet we will

Ask the Mrs for her opinion.

Wife says start small. Too much money to early.

So, returning the phone and buying her a new car (which she could use) is out, even if it is a small compact car.

I would start with a few dates

True. I will work on that. Her conversion to Apple will have to wait.

I appreciate all the input.

Good Luck

As to what I get out of the deal, I get the satisfaction of doing something nice for a woman without asking or expecting anything in return.

Down the road, if she gets some peripheral drama out of her life, I might be interested.

If you are suggesting I want or hope for something in return for a phone, you are way off base. Just because I said I might interested in what would probably end up being a few years down the road, that has nothing to do with giving a gift. If she ends up not being interested in me, that is fine. Doesn’t mean I won’t give a gift in the future.

I may be a lot of things in this world. Shallow and superficial in
Thinking I can try and buy favor isn’t a part of who I am.

Next time you have something to say, just say it. No need to beat around the textual bush.

1st of all OP, you know her better than anyone posting in this thread does so use your own best judgement based on what you know of her.

If you really want to give her a nice gift and not have it come off as creepy, awkward or put her in an uncomfortable spot maybe you could give the gift anonymously..

Does she have a birthday or maybe a work anniversary date coming up? Buy the phone with cash and include the receipt. Wrap it up and leave it on her desk anonymously..
