Post subject:  Buying her a thoughtful birthday present

We've hung out 1-on-1 twice and I'm wondering if it's okay to buy her a thoughtful birthday present. She likes to read and I told her about a really good book I read a long time ago, so I'd like to buy her that.

Advantages:
- it's inexpensive
- it shows I'm interested, but it's something I could give in almost a casual way (e.g. "It's a good read...happy bday!")
- it's thoughtful and relevant, different than other guys who might buy her generic flowers or chocolates or whatever
- it's a book that I mentioned I liked, not one she mentioned, so I'm 'bringing her into my world' (and its a book guys would probably like more than girls)
- it'll always remind her of me when she sees it or picks it up to read it

Disadvantages:
- too much interest?

The problem is that she hasn't responded to my last text or facebook message - I haven't sent any follow ups, and its been between 1 and 2 weeks. We're in the same cultural community and we'll inevitably see each other shortly, where I can re-initiate.

Most of you are thinking at this point that she's not interested and I should move on - however, based on our past interactions I realize she might've gone a little cold because I wasn't showing enough interest - playing it too cool, in fact. If my hunch is right, a thoughtful birthday present should warm her up again. And if I'm wrong, then she'll remain cold and I'll move on.

Thoughts?

You should just give her the book because you want to and not expect anything in return. If it warms her up to you great, if not who cares.
