How long does it take to open a gift?

So you get a gift from a friend whom you've been flirting with (on and off), would you not open it straight away?
I gave this Libra man a goodbye gift as he's leaving our workplace. I gave it to him on Thursday. He came to me today apologising he still hasn't opened it since he's been so busy he forgot blahblah (that's the third time he approaches me to apologise he hasn't opened it. The gift wasn't even taped closed, box was open, it's only little..).

Is this a thing a Libra would do? Or most likely he has opened it and just doesn't want to discuss the very slight flirtatious nature of the note that came in there? (truly, very slight.. but I left him room to come and ask me a question about it, which is why I think he might be lingering).

He's actually leaving the building on Wednesday.. so only three more work days.

shoot him

Okay, and before that?

Damn, you must be desperate.

omg ... this is maybe not disrespectful but the phase where he still thinks what/how he wants to say what he wants to say/ if he wants to say anything at all /avoiding saying anything on purpose / say something about the gift but at the same time not reveal anything about his opinion at all to let it pass.... usually when I feel uncomfortable but I care I won't reveal my opinion that can hurt other person in some way ..but above all that

this is hilarious

i suspect he is only telling you he hasn't opened it yet in case you were hoping to have a discussion about it.

it can take me a long time to open a present, mainly because i am at an age where i don't really care about presents that much.

present from the boyf though? gimme gimme gimme.

See the gift itself isn't so much an issue. I know he'd like it. It's the note that's with it he might not know how to talk about or be afraid to.

There's this guy who sang for me n sent me the video of the same.It's been over a week n I still didn't download it.You just reminded me of that.Maybe I should really check that now!! N as @jeane said,he might just be avoiding the discussion which would follow..

It is totally dependant on your note. He doesnt know how to respond! He is buying time until hes comfortable with replying. You will hear from him then!

The note just says I enjoyed meeting him and hanging out and that I hope our paths meet again one day.
Then I added a second note, in Hebrew, and mentioned in the first one that he can either throw it away, have it translated (there are no names on it) or just ask me and at the right time I'd tell him.
Considering the playfulness of our flirting I knew this is the kind of thing he'd like. So I'm guessing he just doesn't want to ask yet.

(ps. the Hebrew letter is only very slightly flirty to be honest)

Lol hes nervous in that case. Thinks that the hebrew letter is a declaration of love. You have managed to make him nervous if he was just interested in flirting!

I doubt it to be honest, we've been mates for a while now so he knows what I'm like. I wouldn't declare my love to him.. also on the day I gave him the gift, he came over to me twice to apologise he hasn't opened it yet, then later he joined me alone for a cigarette, leaving his friends inside (despite only being a social smoker. He normally only comes out with other people) and we had a nice friendly flirtatious chat, and I left as I finished my cigarette before him.
The next day I didn't see him, and two days later, again he approached me to say he hasn't opened it yet.. that was yesterday.

librapros4, if you feel disrespected by any annoying, low-class disrespectful users you can simply click their name, and the option to block will show up, block the name; you don't have to tolerate trailer trash ghetto nonsense any further.

Oh I know. I blocked someone here already. I don't take it personally, I see childish behaviour is quite common here towards people who just really need advice..

honestly? i think this is a stretch. i would guess that he just hasn't opened it yet. like tiz said, he hasn't opened all of his christmas presents and i let presents sit for weeks unopened.

Thanks, I suppose this is what I wanted to know. I just can't really delay satisfaction (being a fire sign and all....) so wanted to see how a Libra works. I wondered if it's that or if it's him just wanting to leave something for us to talk about when we say a proper goodbye or, if I should take it personally 🙂

definitely don't take it personally.

most of the time i only presents because people are going to want to talk to me about it, did-you-like-what-i-got-you sort of thing. if you really want him to open it, just nag him. i wouldn't take offence if someone pestered me to open a present because they wanted my reaction. i still might not get round to it but you'd be welcome to remind me....

Well, the last time he came to me and said "I still haven't opened it" just out of the blue I literally shouted "seriously?!" since it has been two days. His face kinda sank, I think I scared him lol so I said I'm not angry just a bit surprised. And he said he'll open it later that day. But when I saw him later he left really early with a friend and didn't approach me again so I doubt he did.

if you are going to nag him about it, be in good humour. we're not really the serious types. do it with a laugh and a joke and he'll be intrigued. make him feel bad about not meeting your expectations and he'll do it out of obligation and not enjoy the present to its fullest.

Thanks for the helpful advice Jeane!
Well I'll only be seeing him tomorrow, Tues and Wed and then he's leaving so.. I'll just say I definitely want to see his face after he opens it before he disappears 🙂

Shelly - in that case he must be busy with last minute details. Hopefully he will get down to opening it soon... If not... Nag him in a playful manner. 🙂

Lol! No but really! I still don't feel like having a look at it. It has got nothing to do with the placements.Sometimes we just don't feel like doing things... 😛 It's definitely not the nicest thing to do..Still :/

Probably smells the "desperation" a mile off... Probably embarrassed about the whole situation too!!!

People have seem to forgotten her other thread. She's desperately chasing a guy who's not into her. He's 37 years old and acting like a teenage boy. He's immature and playing mind games, just like he is with this present thing. No matter how shady he's being, she's giving him a PRESENT? Dahell for?

He's flitting around and continually telling her he hasn't opened it yet just to fuck with her. Why would someone intentionally keep going out of their way to inform you that they STILL haven't opened it yet? That's an asshole move. Why is nobody seeing this?

Instead it's excuses and bullshit logic left and right.

I'm dealing with this crap with an Aqua friend. He didn't open my Christmas gift until the next day, and I'm still waiting for him to open his birthday gift (it was yesterday). I lose sleep the night before a gift-receiving occasion, so I just don't get it, lol.

Well, he randomly came to me on Monday to say he had opened it. But to be frank, I'm pretty certain he opened it the minute he got it and just didn't know how to respond lol I think he's a bit scared of me and made a much bigger deal out of it than he should have.

He's being a cock tease and fucking with you.
