Ladies? Is this sweet or creepy?

Sign in to disble this ad
So, I have one female who works for me at the shop. She is currently not seeing anyone. I was thinking about picking her up a little valentine basket and having all the guys here sign a card. She recently went through a pretty nasty break up and am pretty sure she's not going to be getting anything tomorrow...besides maybe from her parents or something.

Just trying to be nice to her...is it a little creepy though?

I think if you are all on a "good friend" level, it's all good. If you all don't know her very well, it could get mighty akward.

It's not creepy unless you get her a DIAB.

No way dude, I think that's really nice. If she is going through a tuogh time, like you say, I'm sure this would brighten her day.

Depends on what's in the basket...

If you're on the good friend level then it sounds like a nice thing to do.

Throw in a set of fuzzy handcuffs and a lavender vibrator and it'll be perfect!

Give her the basket, but don't have everyone sign it, maybe just sign "the guys in the shop" or something. Just in case everyone bails.

What do y'all think of this picture? Some cheerleaders posted it of their national competition. I have NO IDEA what stunt they are doing, only that it looks...interesting. I though y'all might enjoy.

Sounds like a nice idea to me. If you all sign it, there is no implication that you "like" her, and are just doing it to cheer her up.

Thanks, female. That's kind of what I was thinking. Just do a generic card 'from the guys' and then inform all of them that they all got her something.

This is not exactly the place to get more than three or four posts from women.

That's the old 69 cheer. They do it after nine touchdowns, nine extra points, and two field goals.

I know I don't have a vagina and all, but I think having everyone sign it is what makes it not creepy and is what makes it sweet. I like to open cards and see what everyone else wrote, not just a line that says "from the guys". 10 Signatures looks better than "from the guys"; and it's cookie cutter. Having everyone else write in it shows more effort, hence sweeter. Hell, I'll go ask my wife and report back...
