A Patient That She Does Not Know Keeps Sending Gifts To Her At The Office Where She Works And It’s Making Her Uncomfortable
A woman works at the front desk of an office in the medical field. One day, a male patient came into the office, and she treated him the same way she does everyone who walks in.
She was kind and professional towards him as she directed him to the room where he would be seeing one of their doctors.
That brief interaction was the only time that she has met him, and he’s very much so a stranger to her.
After his appointment, this patient asked her coworkers for her name, which her coworkers gave to him.
When he left, he then had expensive chocolate-covered strawberries delivered to the office for her that same day.
She did not accept this gift, but one of her coworkers did on her behalf and made sure that she saw it.
A couple of days later, this patient then sent flowers to the office, and they were also for her.
Her coworkers and even her family members are so enamored by his gift-giving that they believe she should go out on a date with him, which is something that he has been requesting of her as he has sent the gifts to her office.
She has not spoken to him or replied after that one time that she directed him to the room where the doctor would be seeing him.

She doesn’t feel comfortable with what this guy is doing at all, but those closest to her are seriously pressuring her into a first date with this guy.
“I think they are looking like “omg flowers and omg chocolate covered strawberries this is so sweet.” But not really taking my safety into consideration or the fact that I have only seen this guy once,” she explained.
She’s extremely hesitant to say yes to a date, yet all of her coworkers and loved ones are insisting that she should go out with him despite her reservations about it.
“I feel uncomfortable because I don’t know this guy,” she added. “And this is where I work. And it feels like pressure to go out. I’m more into getting to know someone before accepting gifts.”
“I thought we were all taught don’t take gifts from strangers? My gut feeling though is this is off…and my gut is usually right…it’s just too much too soon. I haven’t even had a conversation with the guy really.”
Do you think what this patient has done is nice, or is it creepy, and do you think she should agree to a first date with him?
