> [@BigBertha](#): > > Just asking for opinions. A guy friend comes over, you tell him you just got up, he offers to go home, make you breakfast and bring it over. He does, lots of pancakes, eggs, toast, biscuits. Is this just a friendly gesture or more? Hi BB! On the off-off-chance that this feller is [the same guy](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=565315) referred to by **CatWhisperer** and\*\* MOL\*\* above, I went back and dug up your earlier thread on him (I’m home from work sick today, so I had time) to remind you of some highlights (bolding mine). > [@Female overanalyzing](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/female-overanalyzing/541470/92): > > Thanks for all the help but I have to be over it now.

I just wanted to add the extra good part where he picked me up on my way somewhere, dropped me off and said he would come back and pick me up(this is 2 miles from home) He requested gas money, whatever I wanted to offer. he never showed up, why, he later said, because he had to drive somewhere an hour drive away, and didn’t make it back in time. Yet he had enough gas money to drive to this place for almost 3 hours driving time.** > [@BigBertha](#): > > My stove doesnt work properly. Dear BB, if the guy you’re asking about here is indeed this same guy, your stove isn’t the only thing that’s malfunctioning. ---

Just agreeing with the others that it means way more. Also agreeing that if it’s the same guy, you better be extremely careful. ---

Agreeing completely with **KinkiNipponTourist**. This guy wants your goodies, so he brought you goodies. If it’s the guy from before, he’s a flake, and please, be wary. Very wary. Unless, of course, you think he might be good for some no strings attached fun sex, and you want some no strings attached fun sex **AND** have the capacity to extricate yourself from him should he start trying to conjure up strings afterward. If that’s the case, get your groove on, girl! ---

If that is the same guy, I’m not sure why you’re even giving him the time of day at this point, but I guess it takes all kinds to make the world go round. ---

One time, I made a big production breakfast for my neighbor lady at 1:30 AM, but most assuredly I didn’t want to bone her or her husband who was there at the time. He called me over because she was having a diabetic emergency, and I got her sugar up to the point where she was coherent and functional. My buds from the rescue squad came by to administer some D50, so wife and I slipped out the door and made them ham, eggs, and all the trimmings and brought it back so she could eat and not echo crash. Her meds were out of whack and they are poor. And in their 80s. I don’t find elderly folks to be all that sexually appealing. The next day, I brought them a couple of bags of groceries high in protein and low in carbs to help stabilize her blood sugar. It took a knock-down, drag out fight with her doctor’s receptionist to get the neighbor lady in to the doc to get her meds adjusted. So, **Bertha** , unless you woke up from a diabetic coma, he wants to nail you.
