A week ago yesterday, I received a bouquet of flowers delivered to me at home. The enclosed card read ......

Fondly,
An Admirer

I have no clue who could have sent the flowers as I am currently not dating anyone and my last date was about a month ago, and a second date never occured by mutual agreement. Also, I am currently on a dating "hiatus" so I have not met anyone or dated since my last date.

My question would be why would someone send me flowers, but not indicate who they came from? I thought maybe the person would come forward, but it has been 8 days and still nothing?

If I was a woman and this happened to me, I would find it very creepy that someone who is afraid to approach me, knows where I live...

Yes, that is the part that is bothering me....they know where I live, yet I have no clue who sent the flowers. Wasn't sure if I was over-reacting by thinking it was creepy....but every day that passes and still no indication who sent them, it get's more creepy.

It's pretty creepy as I think most guys that I know would never do this knowing how a woman would react.

It's different when you are in grade/high school and during Valentine's Day you got a secret heart or card in your locker...LOL...

But a grown man sending this to your home is off to me...especially not following through if you knew them later that day or the next with a phone call..

Do you know if it was from a particular company that sent/dropped them there?

I know some women/men might think this is great...but again...I just think that there is plenty room for suprising someone when in a relationship and being romantic...something like this just doesn't show the man is thinking forward on how it could be perceived..

Maybe the florist had the wrong address? And, meanwhile, there is a guy sitting there thinking "I can't believe that Mary never even called to thank me for those beautiful flowers!"

Can you call the florist to find out who ordered them? I don't know what kind of information they can give out, but that is really creepy if the flowers were indeed meant for you from "an admirer". If I were you, I would keep the record, and a history of when this occurred, in case you ever need it later.

Call the flower shop that sent them and ask. Tell them the card got lost.

When they were delivered, the delivery person had my full name and I also had to sign for them.....so they were meant for me. I do know the shop they came from, I should have thought of calling and asking if they could give me information. I will give them a call and see if they have any information about who sent them.

Yipes. Hopefully they're from a guy who just incorrectly assumes you'll know who he is.

Who knows. There are some messed up people out there. Let's hope it was a mistake as mitchell surmised.

My guess? It's a coworker or a married friend who is obsessing on you but doesn't want to 'cross that line.'

Creepy? Yes. But he probably thinks it's romantic.
