Getting a gift from someone you don't know very well

I want to ask females here how will you take it if someone sends you a gift of chocolates or a perfume and you are not very familiar with that person, you only know him by name and a little bit more and that person seems to be interested in you and you are not interested in that person. There is no special occasion. The gift comes without any prior indication - as a complete surprise to you.
What will be your reaction and how will you respond to that person?

Re: Getting a gift from someone you don't know very well

return it politely with a frown if you're not interested telling you accept presents from family only.

Re: Getting a gift from someone you don't know very well

My initial reaction would be like "Hey I still got it!". :D

After that I would return the gift politely and let the guy know that since I'm married, it would be very inappropriate for me to accept a gift from a man I don't know very well.

I will keep the chocolate and give the perfume back ;)

I will properly ask why he gave me those gift and take it from there.

Re: Getting a gift from someone you don't know very well

A kind "thank you but I cannot except this"

Re: Getting a gift from someone you don’t know very well

Wont accept the gift in the first place..why is he doing such a favour? what does he want in return :confused:

That's the first step in courtship/dating, giving the girl little presents to make her feel special. Just politely refuse the gift saying the things suggested above.

If they are good chocolates, I will eat them, politely say thank you and get back to my world, i suppose.....

Re: Getting a gift from someone you don't know very well

majority is against this idea here and the woman in question probably has the same thinking so no gift for her. Thanks.

Re: Getting a gift from someone you don't know very well

Who gives gifts like that to married women?

Re: Getting a gift from someone you don’t know very well

I don’t think giving a gift is like doing a favor. A gift is a gift.

Re: Getting a gift from someone you don’t know very well

Guys with no respect for themselves or someone else’s marriage. :chai:

Is this a hypothetical situation? If it is a real situation, is the woman married? If she is not, I think Queer’s idea is great to let him know that you are off limits, without getting all serious.

Stuff like this used to happen to me at work. I would subtly communicate that there is no chance EVER.

Geezer Dude,

Before the gifts, why don't you try to find out if there are mutual interests and try to build friendship first. Coordinate group gatherings, etc. It will also give you a chance to get to know her.

When I first met my husband, I didn't even think of him as a potential spouse because he didn't meet the "Super Hot" criteria but he just tried to help me. He is a genuine person with a heart of gold and that won me over. If he had made advances at me prematurely, I would have turned him down flat that there would never have been a snowballs chance in hell.

I know people who do, it's more of an ego trip for them to try and get someone who is already taken. And if they succeed in getting them, it's free sex without the commitment.Some people enjoy the chase more than the catch or enjoy the deed more when the challenge is complete.Basically, married men and women are not as easy as your typical single person which puts some fun into the seduction game. The bonus with married people too is that you know they're not going to want any committments with you. No worries about emotional attachments after a fling when you're dating a married person.In some cases some married women are financially frustrated and will accept a proposition.

From that, A woman is a woman so it should not matter to you, married, window, divorced, singal.
