Hmm perhaps I didn't say it clearly, I drove to pick her up because I needed the practice and complimenting is two ways, and she clearly compliments me more than I do for her. However that thought has occured to me, and I have tried breaking up contact, but she would instead approach me... back to square one.

Most of the time we both have our own lives to attend to. To give up something of what I want to do to be there for her is just too early at this stage. I went out of my way if it suited my purposes, these include:
- The pick up for piano thing.
- Going to her comp.
- Walk her to her car <-- this is a pretty standard thing to do eh?
What I could think of related to your question, my interpretation/misinterpretation of her actions, are:
- There was an employee discount night for electronic goods, I asked her to go, she said she had dancing but could afford to turn up to it a bit late to be with me.
- We work in different departments, mine doesn't have core hours but hers does, when we meet for lunch she sometimes stays a bit longer with me when I ask her to.
- Even when she brings lunch to work, she would still accept my invitation to have lunch at a restraunt (which we each pay for ourselves).
- If she walks into the elevator first, she'd always press the button for my floor.

Oh I have been planning to this week, planning to go watch My Super Ex-Girlfriend with her and offer to pay (for the first time), then after the movie arrange for a proper date at the lake on Saturday, but as it turned out that movie sucks, so my plan now is to ask when another good movie comes out.
