A combination of top three I guess, not anyone of them exactly though.
My main reason maybe that I am interested or intrigued by them so I want to know them where it leads in the future is upto the conversation.
To spend time with her and get to know her better

I said other reasons because those are very different things. Coffee is a buck and a half... three bucks... whatever. I bought coffee to the ladies at the veterinary office last time I was there because we were talking about how suck cold it was outside for the past few weeks. I offer my workmate coffee when I'm going to get some if she doesn't want to walk over there with me, as she does to me.
Lunch... if it's someone I regularly eat with we usually just alternate who pays since it's easier than splitting the bill. I've brought sandwiches/pizza to my friends at work if it was bad weather or we were working late or just had a shite day or whatever. That "lunch" is a little different than buying a 3 course sit down meal at THE chic place in town with reservations 2 months out.
Flowers... could be interest in her... could be because we're friends and she had a bad day. Depends on the bouquet. I'm not sending 4' long stem roses to my work buddy. I'll pick up a vase of wildflowers at the grocery/drug store though. What's that? $20? $30? Not really going to make a move in the monthly budget.
Starbucks latte 3 days in a row? $7 a grande.
Three red roses with a stuff toy delivered on Valentines day by courier?
Yup - friends or just being nice.
The coffee I wouldn't read more into than just being nice, but that depends on how much he makes. If he's making 15/hr then that's like 45 minutes of work after social security, taxes, etc. If he makes $70 per hour then he made that while waiting in line.
Roses on Valentine's day, especially three, which traditionally means "I love you" but I suppose he COULD just be oblivious to that symbolism. If he's not socially inept I'd go with "he likes you."
I only did that when we were dating. I went with "other reasons". I still operated by old school gentleman code of conduct which meant everything from planning and arranging to date (demonstrates leadership) to walking on the side of the curb next to the road (demonstrates protector qualities) to paying for it (demonstrates provider qualities).
So if I took her to lunch or coffee for a date, I'd pay for it. I saw it as my responsibility. I am her host and she is my guest.
I never bought a woman any flowers though. I had one girlfriend who kept saying the name of her favorite friends as a possible hint that she wanted them as a gift. Yet I kept forgetting the name of the flowers. So I went to a flower store before Christmas thinking if I just look around at the names of the flowers, it'll jog my memory. Didn't work so I went to a nearby electronics store and got her a Playstation Portable instead.
* I had one girlfriend who kept saying the name of her favorite [flowers] [...]
Most likely it's someone I know, and either I recently realized I'm attracted to them, or they gave some sign they're into me. If just jumping into that isn't working and there's a buffer, the dynamic of the interactions needs to change, a little romance, something small, but definitely in the direction of romance with little ambiguity.
See if it sticks, and leads to the bedroom. If not realize it's something that would stay ambiguous, keep it on the back of backburners, and turn my attention elsewhere.
I observe a lot when I am with someone now.
Had a sad past, where I used to be unrealistic Romeo of the story.
When I notice that the vibe is matching and things are mutual to some extent, I try to plan some surprises/pranks in the form of good/bad gifts just to observe their reaction.
Well there is a best thing here, It makes the other person think about you for some reason if the gift is valuable for them, Which is not generally a one time pleasure offcourse.
I
Get some what? Grub?
she's my girlfriend, a friend... my mother, my niece, a neighbor, acquaintance, coworker, etcétera... basically, because I know them and it is a nice gesture sometimes
or maybe just because they're hungry and for whatever reason can't afford it at the time
I'm not gonna speak for myself since I do that only to girlfriends, not to random women.
Other men do it in order to get sex or to obtain a girlfriend and running into a high risk of being used.
I don't lie, I don't steal...
I just want to clap those cheeks for real.
Either she is my girlfriend and I want to treat her or I'm trying to win her over.
It depends.
In a personal setting, it's because I like her and want to show my appreciation for her.
In a professional setting, co-workers often go to lunch together, and we usually take turns paying for each other.
I only buy flowers if i really like her. I don't want to give it too often. If I really like a girl, I will spend money on her and not be hung up about it.
Honestly I wouldn't ever buy her nothing in the beginning i woulda told her from the gate what imma do
to get some.
coffee, maybe just to be nice
lunch is to get some
flowers? who buys flowers?
I might buy coffee as a gesture of liking her. Lunch would have to be a formal date. Flowers would for after we have had sex.
To spoil her, and with absolutely no strings attached.
I might want nudes or sex, but I don't do it for that reason
I went with all of the above. Just depends on the woman, whether I’m sexually attracted to her or a good friend.
@Pinay_ako Thank you for the Like
All the above, when me and my girlfriend were first dating she was having a bad day and I got her some coffee and she said that's when she knew she was gonna give me some lol
I don’t do that sort of thing, but if I did it would only be for say an already established romantic partner
Well, I will never buy a random woman a coffee or flowers just like that.
Okay so what will make you buy one ☝️ for a co worker?
@Pinay_ako
Co-worker?
Well that would depend if she is my friend or how I much I know her, in that case yes it would make sense for me to buy her flowers or a coffee because I am a very serious, honest and straightforward person and I can never make a woman smile or laugh like how typical funny type of guy would do by the means of jokes or saying something etc.
Hence for my buying flowers and coffee would be my way of trying to make her happy or smile. For a very serious guy like me it makes full sense.
Yes there is another condition also, the woman has to nice, sweet, kind caring only then I would do that. However, if the woman is arrogant and has other negative qualities then I will never bother doing what I mentioned above.
I think this answers your question.
So you want to make her happy? Because you like her as a friend or a co worker or something more?
@Pinay_ako
"So you want to make her happy?"
Well, it would depend on the situation if she is my friend then yes naturally I would want her to be happy so in my way I would do what I can. The way I mentioned in my reply.
@Pinay_ako
" Because you like her as a friend or a co worker or something more?"
Well as I mentioned above, I would only do that as a friend, strictly. No, I would not like her more than friends. I always know what my boundaries are and what my purpose of life is so no more than friendship.
@Pinay_ako
I will never have any motive behind my actions other than her happiness and to just be nice, genuinely.
Depends on the situation, but most of the time just being nice
I wouldn’t buy either of those things for a woman 🤣
Normally because I like her or because she is in the hospital for some reason.
because I am attracted to her.
To show I was interested in her.
Yeah pretty much all of the above.
Just a nice gesture...
One and two
To romance her
To get to know her
I don't do that
