    Only if it's regifted for a significant birthday.

    The OP who re-gifted a nearly out of date Chocolate Orange to her BIL for his 30th wasn't a troll, just someone who was baffled why a poundshop treat she passed on wasn't appreciated.

    And the BIL is now 31 and probably still isn't speaking to her.

    Or perhaps he gave her poundshop washing up gloves as her house-warming gift because he had a savings plan he wanted to stick to.

    Ok since you asked. You cant just 'claim' someone.

    No wonder people took the pee.

    Lighten up

    The op logged off at 12.07 and has never returned so has never seen any replies

    While I think it's a wind-up, it's quite possible to read the forums without being logged in

    I think I know what you mean by 'wired differently'. This guy is so used to women being put off by this he probably expects you to 'drop him'.
    Please, think very carefully here - can you envisage living with this guy every day and NOT getting frustrated, angry or peed off?
    When he finally trusts and gives his heart its going to be for life - are you prepared for that?
    if you genuinely like him and his 'quirks' and know he is for you - then by all means let him know that.
    and good luck - let us know how things turn out.

    Really?
    Where's your 'nice' reply then?
    The OP did post this:
    if I haven't made my situation clear please feel free to ask questions and I will elaborate
    I asked this perfectly 'nice' question in the 3rd reply the OP received:

    I'm confused.

    Are you seeing this guy or not?

    What do you mean by 'go and claim him'?
    but didn't get an answer.
    Did you think my question was 'tearing the OP apart'?
