U c I'm not so lucky (gentleman friend) but do have a chef son in-house.
A work colleague has tried it on with you a number of times, but you've rejected him because you don't like him.
You then ask him to take you and your son out because you fancy seafood, he picks you up, pays for your dinner, buys you an expensive gift and then drops you back home.

Have I got that right?
I was thinking the very same thing when I read it but was afraid to ask!!!!!
I hope to god we r wrong..it's too early for my blood to start boiling.
You should have hooked into the champagne and desert, seeing as he was paying. And your son should have had the lobster, and a few top shelf scotches mixed with coke.
What nasty assumptions do you assume people have made, Snooks?
I asked you if I'd got the sequence of events correct from the information you have given in this thread.
If I have got the sequence of events correct, I suspect your work colleague likes you rather a lot.
I'm wondering if you think you've made it clear that you're only interested in friendship, but he thinks something else, like you want to take things slowly.
It comes across to me that you're perhaps unwittingly giving him mixed messages - I don't ask people I don't like to take me out to dinner, or accept expensive gifts from them. I don't ask that of my friends.
I might ask a friend if they want to go hill walking, and if my friend drives, I make the food, flasks and pay the car parking fees so it's kinda...fair.
I'm thinking that your work colleague wants to see you happy, will do anything you ask to spend time with you and may end up feeling horribly hurt and used by you.
I'm not saying you're doing this deliberately, but it looks to me like some rather essential social cues are being missed by you.

Let's hope the guy in question has sufficient balls to figure that out for himself
