Found Roses, a Card, & Candy on My Desk

Ok, now. Well, so far, I'm not mad at it. Meet his a** in a public place and don't stay alone after work for a while, though.

This is a cute story, but he's been watching you. Not imputing bad motives to him, just that you still need to continue to be cautious.

Fear is such a powerful trap.

And a lonely one.

As a personal isolation box, it may not feel so lonely when you (general "you") can anonymously swap confessions of your fears and neuroses with other, similarly trapped individuals within a "True Confessions" or "Things You're Ashamed to Admit" thread on a message board [kind of like pushing contraband notes through the bars of a prison cell, or tapping messages on the dividing wall]. But, fear still keeps you manacled and shackled in the real world.

Advice to the OP: if you've read the threads (mentioned above), ask yourself whether it would be wise to synchronize your behavior with such influences. [I mean no disrespect to posters who contributed to those threads; but, the feelings and attitudes expressed therein were often shockingly outside of a healthy norm.]

It is quite possible to appreciate the janitor's gesture for what it appeared to be, and investigate him and his intent with a self-protecting approach - if you are interested.

Why unnecessarily subsume joy and wonder to the paralyzing lockdown of fear?

[USER]Krullete [/USER]Wow, Girl!! I think you should start a thread about that. I was shocked to see some of the responses too, but took some of them as jokes. But I do think that some of us fall into this trap. We prolly got a lotta bag ladies on here that need to do some major unpacking.

He just left my class. I just ended a tutoring session and he came rolling through and surprised the heck out of me. I'm packing up my stuff now.
So yesterday I texted him and thanked him for the gifts and told him that he should come and introduce himself the next time he saw me. My exact words were (somebody is going to ask): Thank you for the wonderful surprise. The gifts and card were really sweet! The next time you see me you have to introduce yourself. He responded this morning and said that I was welcome.

So he walks in introduces himself and we agree to meet next weekend, bc I'm busy this weekend. We chit chat for all of 3-4 minutes and he says he'll let me get back to work and that's it.

He is an average looking guy. He looks 40ish. We didn't talk for very long so I'm not sure what to think about him. I'm open to friendship, I don't think I will be in a serious relationship with him or anything like that, but I'm willing to be open and see where things go.

I can't lie, I'm so excited for you. I'm a sucker for romance; even if it develops into a friendship.

Thanks for the update. I think that was a sweet gesture.

Re: the bolded, isn't it funny how sometimes you just know? Is that instinct or did something about him turn you off? Just curious.

IDK. He seems like a really upstanding, really, really, nice guy, but I didn't feel a connection of any kind. It's not even based on looks cuz I have been known to date some guys who don't have it going on in the looks department but there was some kind of attraction there with them. With him, I just...didn't really ...feel it. But a few of them were a&$h*!6@ so I don't know about my relationship radar. I know sometimes a connection can develop over time so who knows, but I don't think I'll have whole lot to write about him in the future. If I do I'll bump this thread up. perplexed The quest for Mr. Right continues...I'm about to join SilkyCoils and Ediese and get on the internet dating bandwagon.
