I Gave My Crush an Uncomfortable Birthday Gift

I met her at a friend's party last year. We hit it off right away, she was funny and smart, and we had so much in common. Over the months, I realized I had feelings for her but never acted on them because I was afraid of ruining our friendship. Plus, she’s super confident with men, dating whoever she wants without any serious commitments. Her birthday came around last month, and as usual, everyone wanted to throw a big party for her at the local bar. I decided this year would be different. I got tickets to an adult-themed movie night nearby, hoping it’d give us some private time where maybe we could talk more than usual. When she arrived with other friends from school, I handed over my ticket and told her it was a surprise birthday gift. She looked at me confused for a moment but took the ticket anyway. The movie started, and everyone else went to grab drinks elsewhere. It was just us sitting there in semi-darkness. As the opening scene came on, a pretty steamy one, I could see her tense up next to me. We talked about it awkwardly at first, trying not to make eye contact. Then she said something that really stuck with me: 'This isn’t what I expected for my birthday.' She didn't mean that negatively exactly, but there was an underlying tone of discomfort. The movie continued on with heavy kissing scenes and suggestive dialogue. It wasn’t just me feeling tense, she squirmed in her seat a few times and kept glancing at the door like maybe she wanted to leave early. I felt terrible. This gift had ruined our evening, turning it from fun and relaxed into something that neither of us were really ready for. Afterward, we went back to the bar with everyone else and pretended nothing was wrong, but it changed things between us somehow. The closeness we once shared is gone now; she’s distant and less playful than before. I can’t stop thinking about whether my actions made her feel uncomfortable around me sexually. Did this make her think of me as someone she doesn’t want to be close with anymore?
