Need some romantic ideas for a nice lady.

Flowers and candy
Movie
Picnic
Car rides
Walks in the park
Family gathering

All done

What else can i do or give (looking more for gift ideas) nothing perverted, sexual or anything that involves alcohol.

What do you think would be nice?

A cute cuddly bear, can even be a small one, it's the thought that counts.

A keychain with something that's personal

I've gotten a golden lotus flower (metal) and I loved it. I think it was to be a t-light holder, but I'm not using it that way

Just anything that you know she likes, that matches her interests. And again, it doesn't have to be big/expensive.
Pay attention when you're out and about to what she likes. Go to a promenade with nice shops and take mental notes.

Need some romantic ideas for a nice lady. ... What do you think would be nice?

To figure out what she thinks is "romantic" then do that for her.
Of course it's only really going to be "romantic" if she has paid attention to you and understands that is your intent.

What is your intent? What's the relationship like?

Do you not know how to communicate with her so you want some sort of idol or symbol to do the talking for you in the hopes she understands it?

Or have you developed communication in the relationship to the degree that you both know how each other feels and you want something that will symbolize it, express it, share it, where you both kinda have the same triggered response to it?

Or IOW what is it you want? What's the purpose? To show her how you feel? To celebrate how you both feel? To get her to feel/realize something you want her to?

A golden heart that is mountable on wood that can be hung on the wall. On the heart is an engraving of a poem you wrote. It doesn't matter if the poem is good or just ok, just that it came from your heart. That is what matters.

Great ideas! Bear, Symbolic chain, different type of flower.
She mentions restaurants and then on the next date ill take her to one of the places she mentions. So this is good though.

I wanted to do this but I wasn’t sure how to.
Go with her pay and leave.
Do together.
Gift certificate or gift card.

That is a nice idea, but... isn't that a bit much for a woman you're not really in relationship with? Basically you said you were just friends. Personally I feel that's overdoing it. That's more something you'd give your partner as a real treat or birthday pressie or something.

I agree with Crystal. You are overdoing this gift giving for a friend. Have coffee together once in a while and a text or call just to say "How are today?", AGAIN once in a while, not everyday. You seem to be pushing this friendship to a point where your friend might think you are too clingy and that might might drive her away.

I say no more gifts, except on her birthday and Christmas. That's it!

My two cents
happy

Romance to me doesn’t have to involve a gift. It’s things that will linger with her well afterwards, like finding a little thinking of you note you left her, or a blanket on a hill watching the night sky, cooking a meal together, etc. Romantic is all about setting the mood.

He said romantic. You forgot the “by candlelight”.

He also said not involving alcohol, but I like where you 2 are going..:)

Fortunately things have progressed some. We had a long chat. Still not “together” but I’m willing to give it more time.

Also I buy presents for everybody all the time! I don’t exaggerate but I’ll buy a gift for about two people a week. Many times it’s family but still. So its not unusual for me

That's okay, but still I'd be careful not to overdo things. Gift-giving is best and most appreciated when it's unexpected and it doesn't always have to be as costly as a day at a spa. It's especially the small things, small gestures, that are appreciated.
And also, if it becomes routine it becomes predictable and that always gets boring, sometimes even annoying.

I would say a gift card, but what I have done before is buy a cheap box of candy/chocolates and put the gift card in that so when she opens it it's an extra surprise...
