Male friend gave me hand picked wild flowers while saying I can throw them away if I don’t want them. Why?

You girls are so dense soemtimes. Why do you think he gave you flowers? What was your reaction?

[Vickysplash_]

I said thank you. I think he gave me flowers because he knows I really like them. We are friends and he has not made any move on me ever so until I don’t have anything concrete I don’t want to assume. I just can’t understand why he said I can throw them away while he was giving them to me

Omg... he sensed you didn't feel the same way and he wanted to save face. The fact that he has never made a move on you means NOTHING... Guys don't give flowers to 'friends' are you being serious?

Because picking wildflowers is illegal and by accepting them you're committing a criminal offence

[HelpfulWoman]

he's protecting his feelings and "hiding" behind the "throw them if you don't want them"

I'm guessing he thought you didn't like the flowers.
