Thanks for the replies.
In fact, I'm having quite a blast reading all of his texts.
My girlfriend has asked me several times if I'm at all jealous, as if expecting that a guy would normally be disturbed.
Each time, I've shrugged it off and told her that I'm proud she's receiving the attention, and then we laugh it off.
She seems to think it's very odd that I'm not even a tiny bit jealous, as if I'm in fact going to great lengths to hide my jealousy.
However, because we work in the same office, many of our colleagues have asked her if the flowers were from me, to which she's had to reply 'No'. I think that this is actually what's bothering her the most about all of this.
I on the other hand, have never sent her flowers, even after we got together. When she asked if I've ever sent flowers (in the past), I tell her jokingly, "It's always the girls who send me flowers!"
Now my problem really is, I don't want our colleagues (female dominated workplace) or even herself to think I'm cheap by not sending her flowers. I've jokingly told her as well, that I much prefer to send food (as in pizzas, etc, I'm a real foodie.) than flowers.
So how should I handle the situation?

You know why she thinks it is odd? Because she has met a man who has his emotions in check. She can not push your buttons so easily so she is intrigued
. Self-Control is the hallmark of the Alpha man. Physically + Emotionally secure >>> Neediness + Insecurity. It reminds me of being tested recently by one of my FWB; she told me she was asked out on a date. I teased her about it. Then she asked if it was okay if she went(test and games women play) and I told her it was fine and thanked her for asking. She told me she never expected that kind of response.
As for the situation, you should not feel obligated to send her flowers just because this guy is. If you have already won over her female friends then there is no further necessary action. Do what you want to do, I am pretty sure your lady will understand the sentimental value behind your actions. So if you are a foodie then do that, maybe even get her a favorite dish of hers. Shows that you actually listen to her lol.
