flowers left at door

[tich31]

Hi,

I woke this morning and opened door to let cat out to find a bunch of flowers left on my doorstep....no note at all.

I have found this very weird and a bit creepy. I have an ex who is seeing someone else I discovered but why would he do this? But he has behaved oddly over the last few months.
But then if it is an admirer wouldn't you want to let me know who you are? What is the point otherwise? And just a bit weird....

I put them in the bin since I don't have a clue who it is really.

I've often thought of leaving a single rose outside my mums front garden on her birthday since she passed but haven't done that for this reason.
Is it possible a previous occupier has passed and a distant relative thought they still lived there and placed flowers as a sign of respect?

Perhaps just someone who knows you've had a hard time.

You sound worried that your ex might be stalking you. You say he's been behaving oddly over the past few months - has he done other things that have unnerved you?

Zen1...I'm guessing my answer should be yes to a certain degree. One reply from today even had me thinking it was a direct answer from him! Am I just being paranoid??

He left very suddenly after behaving oddly and then spent last few months texting about missing me and wanting me back etc but I recently found out he has been seeing someone during that time which has upset me greatly but I also didn't get why he would do that. Oh there's other stuff but won't go into it.

It could just tie in with things but I know I could be totally off the mark but I don't think it would change my view that you just don't leave flowers on a doorstep overnight with no note....that isn't a romantic or friendly gesture!!

What, you mean one reply on here?? You are obviously on edge (and tbh I would be too if left flowers in similar circumstances). But you also have to bear in mind it could be something completely innocent. However, if further incidents occur which lead you to believe you are being stalked, then it would be worth logging with 101 so it is on their radar.

If they are supermarket they weren't delivered by a staff member they have been left by hand if that makes sense

I know they have been delivered by hand...hence why I keep saying left overnight and no note!!
Yes Zen1 ...am on edge a bit..certainly was on day...but now people on here have me feeling that I am out of order. But who is it?? That is all I'm left with....who?? Why not say....so it is pointless.
Oh anyway....I didn't like it and its not something that I want to happen again.

Someone sent me a very nice bunch of flowers and a bottle of champagne a couple of weeks ago. There was a message by no name. I still don't know who sent it. Creeped me out to be honest. In the spirit of honesty I must tell you though that the flowers went up and the fizz was guzzled.

Sorry tich my post was really aimed at other posters not you. Hope you're feeling safer

I'd be on edge too op, and id have binned them.

My DD had a stalker secret admirer when she was in college, he left all sorts of stuff on the doorstep over night. It made her very anxious knowing someone was creeping about outside our house in the dark. Not nice, I get it OP.

Someone left a box of chocolates on my doorstep once. Don't know why or who from. I ate them! Never one to pass on free chocolate!

One question. Were they garage forecourt level flowers of florists £20+ bouquet? Cos the latter would be a damned crime to bin!

Totally get where you are coming from. It would seriously freak me out. Not necessarily a nice gesture as some people think. Not when it has been done overnight while you were asleep and know that someone has been on your property. During the day, entirely different even if still anonymous but it would still unsettle me.
