Hi Filthiestfis - I had a recently similar problem with a guy i met, we were friends and I then things progressed where he wanted more from me, he was a lovely guy, a gentleman, and he kept trying and trying to win my affections to the extent that he showered me with gifts, flowers, jewelery etc, we were going to a posh party once through work and he even sent me a cheque to go and buy a posh frock - I never refused any of the gifts, which I should have done really, but I did feel somewhat obliged to spend time with him even though i couldnt give him more if you see what i mean, i didnt want to hurt his feelings, but if he felt the need to lavish gifts on me then so be it, I let him and it felt good and made me feel good too. We are still very good friends and over time weather anything will come of this or not who knows, but he is always there for me no matter what, it is me that needs time to get my head round this and decide how i feel about him, at the moment I care an awful lot for him and we are trying to get to know one another on a more 'close' level.
