Being kind

[Flute56]

Someone was recently very kind to me for a few days and I want to show my gratitude by repaying kindness back and I have suggested that to themn but they said it's not necessary I feel bad is there anything I can do to persuade them to change their minds. I was in a situation once where I didn't show enough gratitude and the person complained so this time I want to do the right thing but this person won't let me and he advice

OP, you've already bought them a meal and they said that's enough.

Listen to them and forget about playing the piano for them, or giving them a tour of your home town.

It's overkill.

I agree with this.
Any small token would be appreciated.

As with others, I wouldn't ask. When I have done something "kind" in the past, I have received flowers, a case of good wine, a bottle of gin. All appreciated. When I have wanted to show my gratitude, I have sent champagne, a hamper of fancy cheese, biscuits and wine etc, a plant/indoor tree. I am sure anything like that would be fine - its just a gesture to show appreciation really.

But if anyone had asked if they could have sent me something, I would of course have said no. Doesn't mean I wasn't delighted to receive it.

That's not a gift!

Agreed, that’s not a gift. That’s an invitation for applause.

Oh, I've just remembered you, @Flute56 -- you're the poster whom I remember from long, argumentative and strangely-worded posts about holidays in Australia where you seemed to hate everything, including your travelling companion, and getting outraged about Adelaide being boring and the cabin crew on Qantas not being Australian and all the passengers being white.

And blocking a friend of 40 years on WhatsApp -- in fact, that's what jogged my memory, your spelling of it as 'wassap'.

And didn't you post recently about a friend you were seeing on holiday who insisted on paying for everything, and your other friend said it was because she was gay and fancied you, and you ended up falling out with her?

Honestly, OP, your posts suggest you have real difficulty reading others and being around other people. Just send this person something you think they would like. They don't need to give you permission.

Haha, give over. You're pulling our collective leg, aren't you?

Ok, I’m out.
This can’t be real 😂.

Yes. I now talk to the friend i blocked and she still thinks the woman who wanted to do a lot for me is gay and i said to her no shes just friendly and she said no she is gay because she told you your hair was nice and touched it and didnt ask permission and a woman doesnt do that unless they are gay. Straight women say do you mind if i feel your hair but she just did it.
