At my former work place, a lady with whom I had a very cordial client- customer relationship with gave me a Playboy perfume as Xmas gift .
Consequently, an arguement broke out amongst my male colleagues as to what her intents were.Some opined that she wanted a romantic relationship with me that's why she gave it to me.
My fiancée then was very angry and accused me of flirting!! I never responded in that direction. I had never received such a gift from a lady before then.
She was in her late thirties and I was in my late twenty then.
Looking back now, I never cease to imagine what this elegant single mother intents were.
How would you interpret such a gesture?? Romantic intent or not??

I would look at the overall way she interacted with me, if she asked a lot of personal questions , demonstrated flirtatious body language etc. If she didn;t I would chalk her gesture up to being nice, but my antenna would be up to see if she followed the gift giving with any other suggestive behaviors to decide if she was crossing the line

She treated me differently and I would always make sure she was well attended to ....I didn't pay attention if she asked any personal questions.
Thanks Peggy.

Not sure what your job is.
As a client to professional relationship why would she present a gift to you?
Is she someone who truly understood what she was giving?
Was she ever suggestive with you?

Sometimes gifts mean nothing other than someone thought of you and they gave a thing that happened to be on sale

I was a bank staff.
Never paid any attention if she was suggestive as ----maybe my colleagues might have noticed what I didn't take cognisance of.

Well there Romeo before you start reading too much into it..lol.. it was a Christmas party gift she probably just picked up the cheapest clone she could find knowing it was going for a male member of the staff...
Most people don't put a lot of thought into Christmas party gifts especially office party gifts


So maybe you're reading too much into it.. she probably thought to herself while standing at the dollar store...what can i get a guy as a gift..
For under $5 for a office Xmas party...
Lol.. but I could be wrong she might have spent $10..lol.. Playboy cologne!!!.. you go tiger@!lol.wink.jk
