i probably will not see him on his birthday, so i will have to drop it off his place. i have been to his place for professional reasons, so i know his address.
if i drop it off, i will have to contact him (via phone or email) to tell him that i will be dropping it off. our relationship is closer than a normal student-professor relationship, but non-sexual in every way. however, i am female and he is male. is dropping off a gift too much? we are not *that* close, but pretty close. on a scale of 1-10, 1 being a normal student-professor relationship, 10 being boyfriend and girlfriend, and 5 being a friend... we are a 4. will that be too awkward?

cosidering he's your proffesor I believe having any sort of a relationship with him at all is ackward unless your hinting you want more. I wouldn't give him a gift for his birthday. It's one thing if he just had a baby or somthing but a birthday is more personell he might take it the wrong way and be inclide to take the next step.

You are already in too deep. A professional would never have a female student over to his place for teaching . You must also know a lot about him to know when his birthday is. You didn't tell if he is single or not. If you give him a gift, he may try to give you something in return. If you are only a 4 in this relationship and want to prevent becoming a pregnant 10, stay the hell away from him.

Possibly. It's only really you that can determine the situation, but i think it speaks volumes that you've placed this question under "Singles and Dating". If you're close... is it that you want to get closer? I think it might be a plan to think about why you want to give him a gift in the first place... and then asses the situation again, remembering what all the consequences might be. Even if your relationship isn't anything special, a collegue oor fellow student may start to ask questions about why you're buying him gifts, and things might be taken completely the wrong way.... remember that people make mountains from molehills sometimes! Good Luck!

Hi, the best thing to do is to not give him a present as it may result in awkwardness and then your relationship may decrease to a 2 on the relationship scale! Sorry it is a pretty harsh answer but I am just trying to be as truthful as possible.
Good luck.
Hope this has helped.

Depends on the gift...
Either way, you would be better suited to having the gift delivered rather than dropping it off yourself

i say too much. it's over the top. leave it be as it is. don't make it MORE personal. relationships between faculty and students are always innapropriate.

Well, you're definitely pushing appropriate boundaries. It will be inappropriate and it should be awkward.

i reckon that you shouldn't give a gift at all...it's too much. and its wrong for anything to happen anyway...sorry for any disappointments...unless if he is hot, there may be an exception. but still...don't push it!
