Well, unlike some of the others, I do think you've taken a bit of stick and I can understand why you posted as you did.
I can also understand why it's so hard to just let go and you feel you need to still try.
Some of us may not agree that what you're intending is the right way to go but I think most of us at least wish you well regardless.
At the end of the day, you know the people involved, we don't.Herman - MP for all!0 -
So she "loves you but is not in love with you"?
Translation: She doesn't want you any more, she thinks of you more like a brother, she doesn't fancy you, there's someone else
One or all of the above now apply and no amount of grand gestures are going to make the slightest bit of difference.
Time to move on.
Sorry"I may be many things but not being indiscreet isn't one of them"0 -
Captain Charisma, you are clearly set on your course of grand gestures, despite all the advice on this thread.
What I ask of you is this - will you return after Valentines Day to advise us what happened, and to tell the truth about what happened?Early retired - 18th December 2014

My attitude for the last 6 years has been "I'll take you out on my terms, not when the card shops tell me to". I know this has upset/ annoyed my then-girlfriend. That is why I feel I need to make a grand gesture for/on Valentines Day, to show her that I do care and that i do listen, in an ideal world this will lead to me be given the chance to do all the small things that mean so much hurt, but I also know that it's likely I will never be given this chance :-(
You knew it upset and annoyed your GF and still you never got it, you never made it better, you never changed0 -

DO NOT DO THIS!
She will hate you for it. A man she is no longer in love with or in a relationship with turning up at her place of work and embarassing her in front of her colleagues and managers.
If I were her, after 5 days postal harassment and then this as well, there is no way on earth I would even speak to you and I'd be asking security/biggest guys in work to get you marched off the premises very quickly.
THIS!! I was surprised no one had said it sooner, don't do it!!!0 -

AwI understand where you're coming from, but as others have said you've done the grand gesture (a meaningful one too) an now it can only be about the day-to-day stuff.
A heartfelt letter of your true feelings is really your best shot.0 -
