I am not by any means a fella, but I think your idea of sending flowers is sweet. It sounds like you're alittle more interested in this young lady than you are letting on. By all means, send her the flowers you never know!!!! Be careful and make a quick assessment of the potential of the relationship before you step out to far because courting/dating in the workplace can be catastrophic.
After re-reading some of this, I can understand how my words may allude to some "hidden feelings" if you don't know the story behind what I did.
After the breakup with my ex in 2004, I went through a looooooooong period of "down time". Sometimes it meant the world to me when a platonic friend (who KNEW I'd be somewhere grieving on 2/14) would stop by and say "hey...I know you like chicken...here ya go". I didn't take it as though they LIKED me, I just took it as someone being thoughtful because they knew exactly where I was.
I thank God because 2/13/05, I had 9 bottles of different kind of pills in my medicine cabinet (some of LGM knows already) and because I was without the lady whom I believed to be my one and only, I took everything contained in those bottles. I was ready to "check out" because SURELY the pain of checking out wouldn't be HALF as bad as having to spend Valentine's Day knowing that the one I loved was in the arms of my best friend (or anyone who wasn't me, for that matter).
This year? Frankly, I don't......well, you know how that sentence ends (lol)! And that is a MAAAAAAAAAJOR step for your boy.
I saw a lot of that in her when she would talk about her ex-husband, or how all the girls at work will be having "crap" (she used the real word) delivered to them on 2/14 "acting like that won't bother nobody". THOSE WERE THE WORDS that made me realize..."you know what, self, we need to get her something to make her day".
It was one who had been broken hearted, reaching out to a kindred soul. Under no circumstances did I or do I want Tracy like that.
I am quite satisfied (BEYOND SATISFIED) with what I've got.
