I am a gay female and my Gf is 32.
We have been together for 3 years and recently moved in together, have a great relationship etc.
She is very good friends with an older man, a lot older. He is 59 and lives alone, no family.
She met him 10 years ago when working in his local pub, she had just broke up with someone and he asked if she wanted a drink, he sat and chatted with her for a few hours then took her in a taxi to her gf's to make up. He is a very kind man, never made a move on her just seems genuinely nice.
There's one thing that I think is a little strange though.
He knew we wanted a kitchen item for our new place, he bought it one day out of the blue and sent it to our house....it was kinda expensive, about £70 for these things.
Recently my GF has been saying to me how much she wants a coffee machine because she loves my mums. Well this friend came to our house on the weekend as he was installing a PC that he had given to us as a freebie as he had upgraded..
Well in his bag was a brand new coffee machine for us!
He doesn't have any family and never married.
Another instance is my GF met him on HIS birthday to give him gifts and have several beers, well HE had bought HER an XBox game. Said birthday is about being happy, and giving gifts makes me happy.
Weird or just Mr Nice Guy?
