I picked loads of red currants in the garden today, and I thought about giving some to my coworker. I've never talked to the girl, but I come to work before her, so I can just leave a box on her desk.
Do you think it'll make her wonder who it's from? Do people even like red currants?
My plan is to watch her reaction.

Seriously, DO NOT do this. Many years ago I made the mistake of having some flowers delivered anonymously to a co-worker and she was *terrified* - thought someone was stalking her. This is guaranteed to blow up in your face. If you want to walk up to her with the box and offer them to her, that's different.

Flowers mean affection, fruit is just fruit, no? Red currants are expensive, y'know. Anyway, I slept late today and didn't have the time to pack it, but I'm gonna go ahead with it tomorrow.

At least leave a note with your phone number, if only to discuss what to do with fresh currants since normies never buy them

No, you fucking autistic retard. If you've never talked to her then do not do this. It won't be interpreted in any other way than a sexual advance. Why the hell do you want to give them to her, why the hell were you thinking of her while picking your currants at home? She's going to be confused/creeped out, and if it's discovered it was you, you're going to be sent to HR and told to leave her alone. Quit being a fucking retard and just talk to her first if you like her.

She will think itโ€™s endearing.
Tell her sheโ€™s a special gorl when you do it.

She barely speaks my language, she's shy, I'm shy, and I suspect she doesn't like me (based on non-verbal interactions).

>Why the hell do you want to give them to her, why the hell were you thinking of her while picking your currants at home?
I like her, but I don't talk to women, I just daydream about talking to them until they leave my life. And "How do I have sex with the last woman I saw?" is like 90% of my daily thoughts.
Anyway, it might be creepy (it isn't to me), but there's no HR so I'm good. The best case scenario is this:
>I leave the goods at her desk in the morning
>she notices it and gets confused/curious
>if she's smart enough, she deducts it can only be from a local person
>she doesn't speak the language, but I have a middle man in there, so she will ask him
>he's smart enough, so he will ask me (he's not in on the plan)
>if she likes the currants, I'll have him relay to her that they're from me, otherwise they aren't
>she won't talk to me and I won't talk to her, so this is where it ends
>just a random act of kindness

Stop daydreaming like a schoolboy, you're a grown man. Start up a conversation. If she likes you, talk to her again the next day. Do this for like a week. Talk about your hobbies. Tell her you grow currants. Ask if she likes them. If she says yes, then ask if she wants some. If she says yes, bring her some. You're skipping all these steps and going straight to just dumping them on her desk like a spastic.

I swear you zoomers are all literally fucking autistic. Why is this basic social stuff so difficult for you?

Also, the currants will be no good in a week, it has to be done ASAP. And as I said, this won't lead to anything (good or bad), so why not do it? It might even be funny, or at least interesting.

pic related is what she is going to think of you. stop being a pussy ass bitch and introduce yourself to her properly. although you "garden people" make me sick. can't help but try to show off your childish hobby by bothering others with your rotten fruits and vegetables. hey idiot, there is already a place where i get my stuff and it's called a supermarket and no i don't care that yours is "organic". you're the vegan equivalent of hobbies.
>oh boy there i bought too many tennis balls
>maybe if i place some of them on the desk of this cute girl i've been eye raping from across the office she will wonder what kind of weirdo left his junk on her workplace

my unironic advice: give up on that whole garden thing. it's already contaminated with your no-balls pussy juice

She's in the building. I don't have a clear sight of her so I didn't get to see her live reaction, but I see her going on about her day as normal, so literally nothing happened so far. Let's see if she starts investigating.

Alright, I'm about to clock out. Nothing happened. I don't even know what she did with the currants, as I didn't see the box when I inconspicuously walked by a couple of times today. All in all, what a terrible plan this was, I can't believe you've approved this.

hey look on the bright side. you might not have gotten the girl but at least you have a cringe memory that will haunt you for the rest of your life :)
and btw you can technically still salvage it. go up to her. in person. and apologize. tell her the truth and make sure to empathize that you're going to leave her alone from now on and that it was an incredibly stupid idea you came up with because you're a coward and not good with women. you know it's the truth. maybe she won't report you to HR after that. but do it as SOON AS POSSIBLE. i repeat. DO NOT WASTE A SINGLE DAY OR HOUR

Most of what everyone is saying is correct. She's not going to act the way you think she will.She's most likely, she's going to find it bizarre and probably not prosecute any further. If I were you, I would use this gift as a stepping stone for approaching her. Don't be creepy about it, just say something like "Hey! I saw theses red currants, and thought you might enjoy them!" That way, she actually knows who gave it to her and she'll approach you about them" just don't sperg out if she does. And since her English is bad you can use this as some sort of light humor to make it less awkward, but don't insult her, or make her think you're making fun of her.

What are you talking about? The plan was to leave a box of currants on her desk and see what happens. I did it and nothing happened, so I'm moving on.

It was never my plan to actually talk to her. At best, I hoped to get inside her head, but I suppose she doesn't have all that much going on in there if she didn't even question food mysteriously appearing on her desk.

Just because I like her appearance doesn't mean I have to talk to her, especially considering the language barrier that's gonna neutralize any rizz I might have.
>>33342737
I can assure you that this situation actually happened. Also, it wasn't even meant as an attempt at flirting. That was a distant possibility, but I just wanted to create a bit of chaos in the world so that people would see me.

If you weren't trolling why did you discard everybody's attempts at recovering your fumble? Ignoring those who told you to not go through with it altogether, some people tried to switch up your idea a little to make it more palatable for her and you just kept trucking on with your giga autistic plan.

1. Literally nothing happened, what's there to recover from?
2. Any risk was severely overblown by the anons not familiar with the culture in this country/company.
3. Any "switching up" involved talking to her, but... you know, THE LANGUAGE BARRIER.
4. The girl isn't even important. I chose her because I like her and wouldn't mind coming across as being interested in her. But the plan was to do it, then have people trace it back to me so we can have a good ol' laugh about it. That's it.

That's because you have no concepts of how human interaction is supposed to go. You have zero empathy or understanding of other humans and how they work. Inexplicably, you also have a huge ego. This deadly combination is going to obstruct you for life because your ego is preventing you from listening or understanding other people or learning anything. Reminds me of Chris-chan.

Lol I've witnessed this bullshit happening to female coworkers from older men too, not just zoomers.
It's bad enough when women play games with men, but guys like him who assume their wet fantasies are real life and act upon it with women they've never even had a conversation with is pretty fucking stupid.
However, it does happen frequently. I've seen women quit their jobs because of how covert they act upon it, making it hard to actually report it to their manager/supervisor. Don't be that guy, OP.

the most perplexing part is the amount of mental gymnastics you go through gaslighting yourself that you expected no outcome therefore your actions are justified.

Even if you expected no romantic outcome what you did is socially unacceptable, unprofessional and borderline criminal. "
"a good ol' laugh about it"?

Isn't autism the failure to recognize other peoples interpretation of reality?

But then again, thanks to this key difference you will never learn anything because you are so sure of things. Literally no life.
