Am I over stepping the line?

[napalmskies]

I live in a flat and my ndn is a retired man and he never seems to have visitors or friends. He’s very lovely and is very self sufficient and drives.

I noticed a leaflet for a group specifically aimed at retired men, it’s a group where they meet up, drink tea, build stuff, make friends.

I was going to slip it under his door, but I wouldn’t want to offend him.

Good idea OP

You sound lovely.

Do you have a communal hallway? You could say it was in there and you thought he may have more use for it than you?

Can you give it to him in passing? Somehow it seems less loaded to go, ‘Oo Bert, my mums neighbour was telling me about this/ I saw this leaflet, it’s in my bag somewhere/ on the hallstand’ rather than posting it under the door.

I tend to assume that any leaflet put through my door has been put through my neighbours doors, too. He'll almost certainly never find out that he was the sole target and on that basis I'd go for it, what's the harm?

Additionally... I reckon it's better to offend someone who is happy/coping than potentially not help someone who needs it.

I second pp.

Put it through his door and if he ever mentions it, just say somebody handed it you and you knew he was retired so you popped it under his door instead of in the bin!

This is my thinking too

Your overthinking it, he can choose to ignore it if he wants to. I would definitely post it through his door
