i think a nice card and a small gift would be nice. and blue flowers or something and piece of pie. All things homely but not shiny. I think a really good present is to introduce your boyfriend and let them make friends, too. The best gift, of course, is a prayer. Good luck
If you do like the guy in the 'other' way, though, then your question is not appropriate. If you are an eastern person, then I should think it is ok to qualify your words by saying that you would not talk about certain things and I believe that is simply a decent form of respecting others.

In your last line you mention "sex and dating"...Dear, are you trying to kid us or yourself? Is this about a gift or about your feelings for the bus driver?
if it wasn't a big deal you wouldn't even ask but just do it and certainly wouldn't need the 'guys' point of view.
I suspect the feeling is mutual and you both know it. Get him something nice. 3 weeks is a long time to be off work sick, just make it something small. i assume you will then want to gauge his reaction to you, right?
You;'ll know what to get, i mean after 3 years. You know exactly what to get. his favorite expensive cigar, his favorite wine or dinner at his favorite dive. Go on. I may be a woman but i'm no dope and a GF is not a wife.

The best way would be give him a card, and have the regulars on the bus sign it too (if they can). Then it is from you all. But it sounds as if you really like him. A card just from you would imply a little more than a working relationship.

ya need to stop lying for starters, you got it bad for the bus driver and we can all tell. So now what? you have to figure it out from there. Talkin about your his eyes and ears, and I am thinking you want to be more than that. good luck girl.

I think it's OK if you want to show him you care about:
-If he loves sports, make him a surprise and buy some tickets
-or you could invite him, his girlfriend and your girlfriend too somewhere in town, maybe a movie, or a pizza and a couple of beer
