Sound to me like he might have some thing to hide. Personally i would have seen the the thing for what it was. It was a nice thought and i for one would have been made up you took the time to do it for me. My best advise get out now.

What you did wasn't so bad. a bit sentimental for my tastes but whatever sounds like an over reaction. Thank you cards aren't generally considered menacing or suffocating.

he's either kind of crazy or used it an excuse for breaking up with you rather than letting you down like a mature adult. Some people hate breaking up the normal way - it is awkward. It's easier to find some fault to focus on and use it as an excuse.

First, I'd just say "thank you" to his face.

It's really easy to think that what we feel is shared by others, and it might be! But it's rarely exactly what we're feeling, much less exactly when we feel it. It's even easier when it's feeling really good...and really easy to get carried away. But as so nicely stated here:


Acceleration is best done together, where both can lose control together, so that no one is left thinking "OMG, how am I going to get away from him/her?"


It's cool to want to openly share your feelings, but in the beginning, one or two powerful sentences/acts speak louder than a pouring out, or giving in to every thing you're feeling as you're feeling it. It's a dance, indeed...how can you take a step towards someone that's already standing in your face? When it's time for acceleration, it absolutely has to be mutual. Until then, just be happy knowing they're digging you, too.

I would've been ok with everything up to the mailbox deal. Something about someone being at my home when I'm not, and moving around in my space, accessing my stuff, just weirds me out. I wouldn't have ended it, but I would've let them know I don't care for it, and suggest other ways they could send the same message. And now, thinking more about it, it would probably hit me as trying too hard. When it's going good, why all the extra effort? Can't you just whisper sweet nothings in his ear, or trail soft lil kisses down his neck?

I must be as crazy as you are op, because I might have done the same thing after 5 or 6 dates.
and since the most recent was at his house the night before,I see nothing wrong with a thank you card.
maybe he does have another woman who at least visits there regularly,or maybe he was disappointed all he got for his dinner was a card and not a little more hands on thank you?
at any rate,it looks like 50% of the guys who replied to your question think you did nothing wrong,so you just picked the wrong one.
you'll find one worthy of your goodness,so don't let this put you off
