If you want to anonymously express your interest in someone, you can be a secret admirer without being a stalker.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Greeting Cards
  • Flowers
  • Boxes Of Chocolates
  • Gift Certificates
  1. Step 1

    Use the delivery services of a florist or gift shop to present the person with flowers, gifts or messages - instead of lurking around the person's home or workplace, waiting for an appropriate moment to leave the item without being noticed.

  2. Step 2

    Send anonymous messages through a secret admirer e-mail service, such as SecretAdmirer.com or Lovingyou.com.

  3. Step 3

    Make sure your messages and gifts are sweet, funny or light-hearted. Don't send messages that have threatening tones or gifts that imply questionable motives.

  4. Step 4

    Send messages and gifts that create curiosity and interest rather than apprehension or fear.

  5. Step 5

    Avoid lurking around the person's home or workplace.

  6. Step 6

    Refrain from following the person around town or home from work to avoid any misunderstandings about your intentions.

Tips & Warnings
  • Drop a few clues - such as using your own handwriting to sign a card - so the person can eventually figure out your identity.
  • Avoid trailing after the person to eliminate any possibilities of creating fear or apprehension.

on 7/20/2009 I was just out to dinner with my family when a gentleman spotted me and decided to pay for not only my meal, but my sister and her husband's meal too. The waitress came back and told me my secret admirer paid. But he didn't leave his business card or phone number. He knows who I am but told the waitress I did not recognize him. How should I feel about this? Should I be a little nervous/scared?

on 9/12/2008 i liked this boy that i work with and i wrote him a cute note, rubbed it with my perfume, and stuck it in his car door. after i found out from one of his friends that he was wondering where it came from, i cut out words from a magazine, taped them to a piece of paper, and stuck it to his car again. cant wait to find out what happens =]

on 9/17/2007 Another way to send cards and letters to your secret crush is to use a remailing service like texasremail.com. You send them your letter and they will mail it to your crush. They will even address it for you! The postmark will throw them off the trail.
