secret admirer!? ;)

Today I got this big UPS package...I wasn't expecting anything, so of course I was excited to open it. There was a gift card inside that says "Just to see you smile."
and NO SIGNATURE. The gift is this neat glass vase with retro brown and taupe swirls all over it that you pour scented oil in and burn it through this stone on top of it. A unique gift! I LOVE IT!!! Problem is, I have no idea who it's from!!! I told the story to M and he didn't claim it (I wanted it to be from him!) Haha. There are three other guys I am dating but haven't even seen them in weeks, but have talked to them. I just don't know though. I honestly can't figure out who sent me this. I think I'm going to call the company that sent it to find out who bought it for me. There may have been a mistake omitting the name on the card. I don't want to not thank whomever gave it to me! I don't think it's a friend of mine..."Just to see you smile" sounds like something a guy would say. I'm in suspense, I can't wait to find out who it is! It looks like something my sister would get me, but that note is definitely not something she would say to me...lol.

Elsa, I do agree with what you're saying! Your thoughts on it are probably right on. His issue is probably less about me than whatever mess is going on in his world.

At first (before we found out who it was) I did think it was cute how M reacted :) Now I just want the whole thng to go away.

You didn't offend me at all!! Thanks for all your comments. I was really bothered by the whole situation and it's nice to be able to come to this board and talk about it with you guys.
Thanks again,

Devorah, I know how you feel.

Will it help if we remind you that it wasn't anything you did that caused your ex to send you flowers? You didn't bring this on yourself.

My "ex" would never send me flowers, but he is unstable enough in himself that he might do something equally weird some day to "reconnect" symbolically. He would be most likely to do it if he was having trouble in his private life and he felt that I was moving too far away from a connection with him. I tread lightly with him, as I am sure you must with your ex.

Hang in there. The incident is over. Throw away the flowers and do your best to forget it.

Elsa
