"er" is a sound that people frequently make when they pause in the middle of what they are saying or pause before they speak, often because they are deciding what to say. for example: " Is he handsome? " .." Er, well, he's a nice friend though he's not exactly handsome" And for "Gee", it is used to express the surprise or enthusiasm. For example: "Gee Honey, is that all your own hair?" "Do you have any plans for tonight? I was thinking of going out for a pizza?" ... "Gee, I'd really love to. But I have to work late!" Hope this helps!
