Search Results: good gift for a girl i work with

So there is a girl I like. We went out on a date, hit it off well, she asked me on a second date and then hugged me before we left. I called later that night to tell her I had a good time and she answered. Tried texting her the next day just to get the conversation moving, and she never responded. Two days later I saw her at her work (I recently switched dentist and she is one of the hygienist that works there). She acted okay, just a little off compared to the date night. I presented her with a little silly gift (a tiny minion plush since she mentioned she was obsessed with them on our date), and she acted much nicer. The next day I saw her again as I got my teeth whitened by her. I asked if I had done something wrong and she said I hadn't done anything wrong, I was just a little pushy. I apologized for coming off a little too eager too quickly and if she would be interested in grabbing coffee/lunch sometime. She said she would but she was already seeing someone else. I then overheard her talking in the back to one of her coworkers and apparently this guy was her new boyfriend. So why would she tell me she is just seeing someone else, then tell someone out of earshot that it is her boyfriend? After I apologized, she was far nicer to me and we actually joked and cut up just like our date night. I did leave a tiny flower for her to find, which she did but didn't mention it to me, before I left. So I guess my question is pretty obvious by the title. I am backing off to let the proverbial dust settle for at least a week, before seeing if maybe she would be interested in at least keeping the lines of communication open. So what do you guys and gals think? I am also not going to be sitting around and just waiting for her, as I do have several other dates set up. So let's fire this bad boy up and get some opinions going. And GO!

Just an added note. The next I will see her for sure will be 6 months for my next cleaning (maybe some hope then?)

I'm dating a girl (I've been in love with her for a while) and we've only been technically dating for a few weeks. Been on like four dates but we've known each other for a year now. So I didn't want to do too much for Valentine's Day since we're a relatively new couple.

So I went to local flower shop and spent a while customizing a small flower arrangement with the owner (I'm not exactly great with flowers haha). Nothing huge. And then I went online and found someone on Etsy who can make stuffed bears with anyone's name on it. (shoutout to SouthernMissBows there. Check her out! Her work is amazing!) So I got a small ~5 inch white stuffed bear with her name on it.

Now I wasn't sure if that was good. I thought it was and frankly, I didn't nor could I afford like anything too extravagant. This is my and her first Valentine's Day period and I was afraid of doing the cliche "flowers and chocolate" thing. I like making things special and unique. For instance, for Christmas, I got her an autograph of her favorite author. And for her birthday I drew her something (I'm an artist). I didn't know if this was too generic so I got the name on the bear. I thought that was good but I wanted to get a standard of gifts for the holiday to make sure. I also didn't want to go too big and overwhelm her because it is our first Valentine's Day as I said, and she is super shy.

So what are your thoughts anybody?
