Update: My coworker gave me an expensive gift, I don't know what to do.

Greatings and salutations! I didn't expect anyone to want an update on this post. Who knew me ranting about stuff was actually interesting to some people. To those of you who read my post thank you for the advice it was much appreciated. Now for some minor context about the gift. It is a $128 Build-a-bear of Cinnamaroll™.

Now to the story. I messaged Jason cause I'm a coward and couldn't ask him in person also it wouldn't be a spectacle at our work place since everyone there talks and I figured we wouldn't be interrupted. I asked him straight up why he got me the bear. He explained that he noticed that I was stressed out at work, he saw I had reposted a video about the bear on my social and thought it would make my day so he bought it for me. Which is really sweet.

I told him that I was happy to receive the bear but it honestly made me stressed out because I thought this was him saying he had a crush on me. He reassured me that wasn't the case and then we continued talking and sending funny videos.

For those of you who told me to give him back the bear I'm sorry to disappoint but I will not be giving back the bear! I have grown very fond of it and it sits amongst my other plushies on my bed. He smells like sugar cookies and is the cutest cuddliest thing. Plus what would he do with it? Give it to another girl after saying he tried to give it to someone else?

But anyway things are back to normal between us. We're currently talking about how my family and I accidentally expanded the frog population in our area with our pool. Thank you so much for reading this. I hope you all have an amazing day.

I 23f work full time hours at a big company. So does my coworker who I'll call Jason for the sake of the post. Jason is 20 and is a nice guy, however he has a crush on me. I know better than to get into a relationship with someone at work I'm not stupid. However today he said he bought something for me. At the end of our shift he pulls out this giant stuffed animal. Not just any stuffed animal it's of my favorite character as well. He must have seen I reposted something about it online and got it for me. I feel bad for accepting it because I don't want to lead this guy on. I don't want a relationship right now, I've told multiple people this. I want to be independent for a while and work on myself before I date again. My parents now think I should give him a chance since he did buy me a $100 bear. My mom thinks I'm just scared of emotions. I don't think I am but I wouldn't doubt it. So please Reddit help me. I don't know what to do here so any advice is appreciated!
