Today, a guy from work that I barely know gave me sunflowers for my birthday. He told me, "You mentioned they were your favorite." I mentioned it to my family at home a few days ago. FML

You probably mentioned it at work as well and forgot. Relax.

I love how it took 11 comments for a good one.

My co workers & I talk about a lot of things. When you work with someone for a long time you get to know a lot about them. Maybe the guy have really good memory or op is just forgetful. Just take the dang flower & be thankful. Apparent when a guy do nice things for girls these days he either a creep or thirsty. Can he just be a nice guy?!

That's just CREEPY!! You may want to scan you house for bugs and check all camera in computers!! Just saying!!

Why has a nice gesture like this got to be so quickly labelled as creepy? Clearly he likes you, and when you like someone you pay more attention to what they say. You said you hardly know him, so it sounds like he wants that to change but instead of getting the hint you think he is creepy because you happened to mention this fact of sunflowers to your family a few days ago? Does it sound very logical that he broke in to your families house, set up hidden microphones and camped outside listening and waiting for you to mention your favourite gift so he could surprise you lol? Too much TV.. You probably made mention of it at work a couple months ago and he just remembered.. as you do when you have feelings for someone. He might just be a little shy to come straight out.. If he pays that much attention to you then he might be a pretty decent bloke! Not everyone that cares and puts effort in to things is a psychopath lol.

It's not the gift that's creepy. Assuming she never mentioned it at work than it is a bit creepy that he knew that. Im a guy btw

What's a more likely assumption, that she never mentioned it and he must of done something creepy like break in to her families house and install microphones, or that she just doesn't remember mentioning it at work? Since she doesn't seem to have current feelings for him but he seems to like her, I think the fact that he remembers while she doesnt isn't that far of a stretch. I know if I had a crush on a girl I would remember what she tells me about the stuff she likes for that exact purpose.

AND...how did he know, in advance, what day your birthday was, so he could bring that specific gift to work? He is flattering you to break the ice, hoping to get to know you better. He is an admirer, not a creep or stalker. Get a grip!

Holy **** there are a lot of negatively voted comments.

Maybe you said it out loud at work and forgot you said it?

You probably mentioned it before. Don't pretend like you have a perfect memory. Or don't exaggerate to post an FML.

seems like you should move far away, not like your getting any younger and if he's attracted to you now it just gets better with time...next year it will be a chia-sunflower pet....how terrific. he seems quite attentive and adorable...He listens! from every shadow.....
