I keep buying her flowers but we're just friends - am I being too stalky?

What does she say when you give her flowers?

She says thanks but I don't want to overstep my welcome.

One the other ones die - once a week.

Do you want more than a friendship with her? If so maybe your hoping that if you continue giving flowers she might be interested in more.

Does she seem happy that you give her flowers?

Hard to tell. She seems to enjoy them but I'm not getting excessively positive body language. I just know I get a kick out of it.

weekly flowers for a lady that is just a friend seems a bit excessive from a guy's standpoint. In my experience it would seem to imply that you're wanting more from her than friendship and if that's not what you want, yes I think it's too much. Even if you do want that with her without establishing something more intimate (relationship wise) with her first, weekly flowers are a bit over the top.

Yeah I suspected so - probably a subconscious attempt to get some companionship in my life which is sorely needed.

Yes, I think it's excessive. It sends the message that you are giving them because you want something from her in return (relationship, companionship, attention)-- like she "owes" you something. As a woman, I would find that extremely uncomfortable (and creepy). I'm sure you don't intend it that way, but that is how it probably appears to her.
Thanks for this!
