JFC on a cracker. Really?

So...the guy I broke up with about 7 weeks ago?

He just had some random guy deliver a rose and a sappy card to my office.

Indifferent

We dated right at 4 months, I actually ended it on the 12th and our first date had been on the 13th. He told me he loved me, and it freaked me the hell out, I knew I wouldn't feel that way for him. We just weren't compatible for the long run, and we were starting to argue a lot.

I told him 3 weeks ago to stop texting me and telling me he missed me and that we were making a mistake breaking up. I deleted him from facebook and told him I didn't want to hear from him anymore.

He texted me on Saturday, and I ignored him.

And now an effing flower.

Don't get me wrong, it's quite possibly the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me (no one has ever tried to woo me back before), but it's overkill. It makes me feel even more guilty for hurting him.

WTF.  

Re: JFC on a cracker. Really?

  • Sorry you are dealing with this.
  • All of this after dating for only four months? It seems like you got out while the gettin was good.

  • Sorry, I had to giggle a little at the title of your post. But in all seriousness, sounds like you dodged a bullet of a clinger!

  • Jeeeze!! And I thought my ex was bad! I think we broke up with our guys around the same time. He has texted, emailed, called, always saying how much he misses me. Barf. The not answering is working so far, I haven't heard from him since NYE!   I hope he gets the hint and moves on soon!
  • Have you been forceful and clear that you do not want any contact at all? I'd say block his number or say something directly like - Do not contact me in anyway any more.

    ETA - This behavior seems creepy and a little alarming to me, especially if you only dated for a few months.

  • Totally alarming. Honestly I think you've made it very clear that you don't want to communicate with him. I wouldn't even respond to the flower. Because even a "don't ever do this again" is getting some level of response from you. This sucks. I'm sorry.
  • That's insane. Block his number ASAP.

    They see us rollin'...they be hatin'.
  • Been there!  Except I only dated the guy for 2 months.  He loved me, wanted to marry me, have my kids.  Then he went pyscho when I ended it too.  I just completely cut off all contact, never replied, and he did the flower thing too - and I'm a teacher, so my students saw them.  Geez.  Good luck getting rid of this one!   He is for sure a nutjob, but remind yourself that you must be quite a catch ;)

    I think I would be freaked out by the fact he had a random guy go to your office.  Workplace is a no no for this kind of thing.  Where is the respect?  Did this guy work at the same company?

  • Don't feel guilty.

    I'd be annoyed.

    I agree with everything that muddled said. You should listen to her. -ESDReturns
  • I have no idea in the world who it was that delivered it. He was an older guy wearing a suit without the jacket. The only guy that works in his office is the owner of the company.

    I completely get feeling like you need to make a last ditch effort to win someone back, I might do the same thing. But I've made it ABUNDANTLY clear that we're over and that if he was going to make any references to missing me, making a mistake, starting over, etc., that I would have to cut off all contact. He stepped on, so I did.

    This sucks, because it's such a sweet thing to do, and if I felt the same way and we'd just broken up and still had a chance to get back together, it would be like a movie. No one has ever wanted me back after they broke up with me, and none of the few I broke up with ever tried to woo me back either. It sucks to know that it's something I would wish for in different circumstances, but he's the only one I've got.

  • Stage 5 clinger for sure. Creepy that he is sending stuff to your place of employment. How do some guys just not get it?

  • I agree with the clinger/weirdo remarks.  But I also think it's weird that he sent a single flower - who does that?  I'd be on alert for sure.  Sorry he won't just leave you alone!

    It's just enought to be creepy without spending a lot of money.
