Star Gazer Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 I think I'm involved with someone who's attempting to mark his territory, or at the very least, giving him an excuse to return. He left behind an expensive watch and a work shirt. Both were in plain sight when he left. I can't imagine that he'd leave them behind accidentally. Or could he? Admittedly, I've tried to leave things behind with other guys, but they always catch me. "WAIT! Your earrings!" (Damnit. ) "Oh wait, your bracelet." (Ugh. ) "Whops, cannot forget your panties!" (For crying out loud! ) Have you ever attempted to leave things behind? Ever had someone leave something behind that you never saw again? I still have some of the alcoholic's stuff...never know what to do with that stuff.
ElTigreBlanco Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Nope I can't say that I have, I'm going to have to add that one to the memory bank though. Thats a good idea to at least know you'll have to talk to the person again.
BannaBee57 Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 I left a full bottle of rum at a guys house a while ago and am still mad about it. He didn't try too hard to give it back either
rod_in_gtown Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Not on purpose, I actually gave the Height-dumper (yes I stole the name from you TD guy ) a very special container with my famous home made pesto. I was not expecting to be dumped a week later. I got it back even though I was not looking foward to seeing her again.
mixwell Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 I have noticed quite a few times that woman will do this.. I've had more than one chick do this and my ex seemed to always leave something around or leave things at my house to either mark her territory or to be like "Oh i forgot this at your house can I stop by later and get it" I'm pretty sure its a subconcious way to mark your territory.. Ive my current ex and my last ex girlfriend find 1 strand of hair and ask me whos it was.. Even though I wasn't doing anything wrong they would claim the hair wasn't theirs.. I always got a kick out of that.. Women seem to love playing detective sometimes..
Jilly Bean Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 It's not a territory marking thing at all - its called a "LEAVE BEHIND". It is done to ensure future contact.

Yeah, I know that's the reason why I've done it. I just thought it was a manipulative chick move, and that guys weren't so silly.
carhill Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 I left a set of 4 very nice jackstands once. Seriously, no, but have entertained the thought a couple times, usually borne of desperation in my own immature infatuations. Luckily, my sense of greed and paranoia won out
Jilly Bean Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Yeah, I know that's the reason why I've done it. I just thought it was a manipulative chick move, and that guys weren't so silly. I once had a first date with a guy who I stood up initially (he was waiting at a restaurant across the street while I fought with my recent ex on the phone all night). He came over, brought dinner, we had sex, and left the next night at 6PM. When he did, I realized he had left his expensive watch. So, I called him. He knew I was leaving the next day for a gig, so I told him I would put it in the mail, OR, leave it with my neighbor so he could get it while I was away. He said he really needed to have it, and insisted on coming BACK over for it. We dated for about 6 months, and he told me he purposely did the leave behind so he could come right back. Boys...

T/J - are you the guy who had a post about being dumped bc you were short. What a dweeb that girl was. I love love love guys who are right about my height. Women can be so screwed up about the most basic of unchangeable things! I give a widespread apology for women who won't date men who aren't a "certain height".
Lucky_One Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 I left earrings before, but that was years ago when I was in college. Yeah, it's a "call me back" move. In college, my roommate and I liked two guys who lived together in an apt, and we would call and let the phone ring once and then hang up - just to remind them that they had a phone. Almost always, they would give us a call within 10 minutes or so.

Ah yes, that was me. and she is pretty lame, Incidentally, I had started NC with her but she broke it yesterday to send me a little birthday email and card. (she also got the date wrong, it was not yesterday but today). I didn't know how to respond so I just said thanks.
rod_in_gtown Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Thanks does the trick. Yeah, I don't want to be rude to her. I mean, she did remember. I just don't know how to take it. It gives me hope that I'm not sure I want to have with her. But enough about me. Let's not hijack SG's Thread.

Innnnteresting. I wonder if it's the same guy! When I contacted him, I too was leaving to go out of town (I'm still gone), so I suggested I could leave it with my roommate (whom he met and knows her BF through MMA), if necessary. He's decided to wait to get it back. Hmmm...
