My new girlfriend recently said, ‘Remember me while having breakfast’ and gave me a spoon from the cutlery set. At first, I laughed, but then I thought deeply about it. Does this carry a meaning? Is the guy serious, or is he just joking? Do you think it’s silly to assign meaning to it, or could I be justified in pondering it?
I swear something similar happened to me too. But the guy had given me a flower stem saying ‘think of me every time you water it,’ and it was during the Eid al-Adha. It seemed strange at the time, but I understood his seriousness later. The spoon might show an intention to establish a slightly different connection; it doesn’t feel like it was just thrown out there.
Yeah, my friend’s girlfriend did this by gifting her a coffee cup. Later we found out the guy had a serious intention of building a life together in his mind. Maybe your guy has the same intention, is he someone who usually thinks seriously?
So, what was your facial expression like when they said that to you? Was it a mocking smile, or did they look serious as if they were doing something meaningful? I think people sometimes understand intentions better from facial expressions than words.
Let me be clear about this: The gesture itself is sweet, but let’s not overlook the significance of giving an object to establish a connection with someone. If this guy has a tendency to always say things like “let me connect you with this stuff,” he might sometimes be avoiding making healthy investments.
‘Remember me while having breakfast’ they said. I mean, did they think ‘oh my man’ when they saw the spoon next to the tea? I didn’t get that part. It’s a bit interesting actually, I think you were right to laugh.
Let me update you: It’s been about 3 months since they started dating. Normally, they’re not someone who gives gifts much; this is the first time they did something like this. Also, they were pretty serious while handing it over. The situation is really as mysterious right now as the ‘Khashoggi murder.’
I had come across something where people getting married buy things like a cutlery set first. Maybe that’s why they gave a leftover spoon from the shopping? Maybe it’s a signal of the ‘man who thinks about the nest’?
No way, I think this whole thing is completely spontaneous. Sometimes guys do things thinking they’ll come off as cute or charming. He’s probably putting meaning into breakfast, he might have serious intentions, or he just didn’t want to seem like he hadn’t thought it through.
