Guys really have to learn that they shouldn’t give flowers/a flower to women who have no means of escape. It’s just a bad idea. Tellers, counter help, bartenders, etc. – they’ve got nowhere to run, and no way to avoid the guy, if that’s what they want to do. They’re stuck out in the open, their colleagues all see it happen and make comments, and they never know whether the guy is lurking around watching. It seems romantic in the movies, and I guess some women appreciate it, but it sure gives the guy all the advantages, and puts the woman in kind of a tough spot.
As a very romantic man, happily married , I might add, even when I did send flowers to women I never sent them to women who didn’t know me. I would call him and explain you are flattered but then tell him you don’t know who he is and that you would appreciate it if he didn’t try to contact you in a personal way again. Harsh I know, but best to get him on the right track and make sure he understands your position. If you give him even a glimmer of hope he’ll run with it .
Well, somebody at work knew who he was - a non-account holder who works at a business that banks with us. He doesn’t seem to have a bank of his own as he comes to this one to cash his paycheck.
My manager definitely already knows. It’d be kinda hard to keep a delivered flower a secret, ya know? All the rest of the tellers kept asking me if I knew who he was yet or if I called the number (one of them thinks I should find it exciting and my boyfriend should be mad :rolleyes: )
Lunar Saltlick has it right - this kind of attention at work is awkward at best.
Regift the flower and the card to the coworker who thinks you should find it exciting.
Yes, I have sent See’s as a “thank you” on several occassions. But this does seem more like a date request. Which is OK, really and sort of sweet but I suggest you ignore it.
