Today they gave us Mooncake gifts for holidays and he told me I can have his cakes if I want, because he doesn’t eat them.

I think he is just being nice and friendly.

If that toy is a Swarovski fidget spinner that means something different than a $20 teddy bear. The latter is just impulse buy with petty cash sort of purchase. The former has more "why" involved with it.

[slatyb]

Because the expense was trivial and he likes making other people happy.

[Asker]

I was thinking of that too.

[KrakenAttackin]

@slatyb. Would he have bought a toy for another man?

[slatyb]

@KrakenAttackin That is a very good point!

[ProbablyClueless]

Could be that he was just being nice, but it could also be that he was trying to win your favor.

[BartBlueJay275]

It's probably because he wants to let you know he cares. If a girl I like told me she wants something I'll definitley get it for her to let her know I care about her wants.

80% chance of crush
20% chance of being friendly

[Sevenpointfive]

he probably is hoping he'll be able to watch you use the toy on yourself

[Asker]

Not a sex toy, silly

[Sevenpointfive]

that's the first thing you need to clarify then

[Andres77]

trying to work his way into your heart, bit by bit

[Asker]

We are not in romantic setting though.

Do you remember I have two coworkers at work I am friends with, one who likes me (The taken one) and the one I liked a bit. That’s the 2nd one, we weren’t that close we were just on friendly terms. I feel like he just finds me cute personality wise and maybe that’s why he gave it.

[Andres77]

You don’t have to be involved. He might WANT to be involved and he’s playing the long game with you.

Wish I could upvote @Andres77 here

[AviatorTom]

He may want more from you. Thst borders on bribery.

[Guido]

He likes you and wanted to impress you in hopes that it will be the start of something more then friends.

[KrakenAttackin]

He's leading with his wallet which is a fools approach to women.

[spartan55]

What, like a teddy bear?

[msc545]

He's just trying to have sex with you.

[Asker]

I was thinking he’s just nice. How do I make people stop thinking about having sex with me? That’s emotionally frustrating

[KrakenAttackin]

@lafemmefatale_1. "Frustrating"? So is being cock teased. Men want to have sex with women.

[KrakenAttackin]

@msc545. Deep down she knows this but she is playing clueless.

[msc545]

@KrakenAttackin True!

[Asker]

@KrakenAttackin I am not teasing him, genius. I am barely talking to him at all, how’s that teasing?

[Asker]

So, now I am some kind of villain who likes to play clueless? Cool, I like your fantasies

I know men want to have sex with women…

But saying they only want to have sex IS a disrespectful opinion on one’s other personal attributes that would be able to attract men who don’t JUST want to have sex.

It means you don’t trust my ability attracting someone who wouldn’t just want sex.

[Asker]

@msc545 Also, I think you are in no position to judge me or my actions.

If you looked down to your heart and practiced a bit of a self-introspection, instead of persuading yourself of being a martyr saint victim of women, that would help you find happiness easier. 🙂

[msc545]

I was kind of enjoying my sainthood, but ok.

[KrakenAttackin]

@lafemmefatale_1. He is buying you stuff because he wants to gain your favor, for a relationship, and sex... does that sound better?

Either way, just don't play clueless, you know exactly why he bought that item for you.

[Billlewis]

Because he wants to please you.

[Sparkie460]

It's called buying your heart

[Asker]

We are not romantic or anything

[Sparkie460]

You may not be right now but just you wait

[Andres77]

This is what I’m saying.
