I have a secret admirer at work

Just ignore them. Hopefully someone will approach you about them, and ask you about it. If you do, just say you didn't know who it was from, and don't trust a random box of chocolates and offer it to them.

I highly doubt it's laced with anything, though.

Damn, that's a tough one. Let me try my hand at it....

"This thread is worthless without pics of your secret necrophiliac boyfriend or gay yellow anaconda."

Did I get it? What do I win?
 
what sex are you? I am going to guess with a screen name as HER209, and making such a big deal out of this that your a woman 🙂

That being the case you can always just cry out sexual harassment to flush the person out, or see if there is any security cameras in the ofice you can get ahold of the tapes to watch and see who put the candy on your desk.

I thought you've been around here long enough already to know...

So.... what's the best and most discrete way to "flush" out the secret admirer.

I can't believe there are so many people who replied, and yet none of you caught the misuse of "discrete." It should be "discreet."

Close. This thread is worthless without pictures of you standing nude bent over grabbing your ankles.

 
it sounds like a mean spirited joke. I wouldn't think anything of it. toss the chocolates, though I doubt they're laced with anything. If it's not a joke then, well, be extra nice to EVERYONE. Eventually the admirer will pick up false signals and be blunt with his/her attraction.

I can't believe you're nitpicky enough to notice the OP's minor error, but didn't notice the second post in the thread.
 
I can't believe that no one asked for pictures of the gift.

I assume that someone did, I missed it and then some smart ass will reply "I can't believe you suck so much at reading comprehension" or something like that.. but.. yeah. PICTURES!
 
Also, you know that sick game that hot girls play? You know, ask the awkward, shy, unattractive guy out on a date and humiliate him, often played because someone lost a bet and they have to pay penance by dating the undatable. Maybe someone in your office lost a bet?
 
Call a company meeting and ask, "Who the eff left chocolates on my desk?! I'm allergic to chocolate!! Someone is trying to kill me!!"
 
This thread rules.......


but I'd say the best thing to do would be to just leave a webcam on. Other than that tell your friends that you trust (knowing that it couldnt be them)...and have them be on lookout.
 
The CEO has handpicked you for a major promotion. This is a test to see how you react to something like this.
 
Walk around the office saying "Hey, somebody left me some candy, but I can't eat it all, wanna help me out here?" Look for reactions. While they're picking out their candy, mention how it's great and you're flattered, but you're hoping for something a little more direct. Concentrate on girls, but mix in a few guys too. Odds are decent you'll get an e-mail.

Do you act gay? Be prepared for it to be a dude.

Do you have a stick up your ass? Be prepared for it to be a cruel joke.
 
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH somebody is too high and mighty to date co-workers

I bet its a guy and you are like ruining his self-confidence by ways of planning how to make you feel better by not dating co-workers.

Put them in the trash and light it on fire. That'll break their heart.

Whichever co-worker of yours commits suicide the next day is the culprit.

I agree w/ this idea. Make it noticable, have the smoke from the fire set off the alarms. The whole building will know then, maybe its not somebody on your floor!
