OT: Don’t give people “art” as a gift

[orthofrancis]

OK quick question to help figure out the situation – Are you married? If you’re not, then this friend of yours probably wants to be a little more than friends, thus the frequent visits, and the gifts concern. Most guys I know aren’t friends with women, unless they are trying to make it more than that.

Just my 2 cents.

Thank goodness for laughter in the middle of what is appearing to be a really hard time here in this crazy reality.

I appreciate these threads just as much as I appreciate the on topic informative threads as I get to know you all in a more well rounded way.

CMcG, methinks there is more to this story than just the rejection of the gift. Is he feeling rejected by you in another way perhaps and just projecting those feelings onto this whole wreath thing?

I was thinking similarly to Enorah…sounds like he may have something more in mind. Unless he is gay, but garish wreaths and gay guys aren’t usually a match.

If you like this guy, I would leave the wreath up for awhile, relationships are more important than things. If you are not into him, and don’t care about the future of the friendship/relationship/whatever it is, then you could move it to the garage. If you do get involved with him, years later, he could still bring up the wreath incident during some argument. “Remember how you got rid of the wreath? You don’t like the gifts I get you!”

The other thing that does not make much sense is if he is coming over that frequently, one would think he might have greater observational skills regarding your home decor. Or, perhaps, you have confined him to the garden? Or is he a bit self-preoccupied? Or just clueless?

Guys, I am divorced after a long marriage. In this relationship, we are just friends. It didn’t start that way, but it works best that way. I am a real estate bear like you (which is why I am here) and I hesitate to “out” myself but the fact is I have had more than a dozen books published by major publishers. NO best sellers. But some of you guys are so funny and articulate (FLU included) I’d be willing to team up on a project. If there’s any interest, I’ll post my e-mail.
