The other night when I was getting out of my car I dropped a slice of peanut butter cream pie that I had just gotten from a local restaraunt. My neighbor's kid saw me and asked if that was all I had to eat. I told her no, that I had food in the house and besides, it was only peanut butter cream: pumpkin was favorite.
Last night right after I got home she knocked on my door and presented me with an entire freshly baked pumpkin pie!
I'll probably end up eating the pie for lunch today, but I think I'll tell her I gave it to my mom who's in the hospital (lie). I don't want her to think this is some kind of mating ritual between us.
I'm 26.

Aw man , that is too much. Accepting the kindness of others, especially a child's, is such a blessing. Stop being anal , get some whipped cream and cold milk, take it all , don't forget the pie, and take it over to your neighbors and share.

Eat the pie :) I agree that sometimes the actions of a 13 year old girl are influenced by hormones and crushes on cute neighbors, but please don't read too much into her generosity. Don't lie, either. I would recommend, also, not to spend any time alone with her--this is for your protection as well. You wouldn't want to put yourself in any situation that would cause your neighbors to question your intentions. You can be a positive role model for the neighbor kids. Thank her for the pie and enjoy eating it guilt free (except for the calories).

I don't think you should lie to her and tell her you gave her pie away; that would probably upset her. Don't read too much into her actions. If she hasn't given any other indications that she's interested in "mating," then just be gracious and accept it as a gift. Some teens just love to cook/bake and love sharing what they make with others. Maybe no one else at her house likes baked goods--it's like that at my house, so it's a waste of time to bake for my family. Could be she just wants someone to appreciate her efforts.

I'm kind of troubled that you interpreted her nice gesture as a "mating ritual". It sounds like she simply did a nice thing for a neighbor. Unless you have any other reason to believe that she's trying to come onto you, I'd say eat the pie if you want to. It sounds like she's a very sweet girl.

Simply tell her you shared the pie with your mother. She was probably just trying to do something nice for you since the pie fell on the ground. Is she around your age? If she she may very well like you and this is her way of letting you know. God bless****

I think that it was really cute that she baked a pumpkin pie for you, she might have a small crush on you but im sure it is harmless. You should be honest about if, if you ate it and enjoyed it you should tell her that. Telling her that you gave it away would probably hurt her feelings. Just let her know you appreciate her baking that for you but you are not interested in her.

Eat the pie. You're not obligated to devour the entire thing if you don't want to. It sounds like she made it for you as a nice gesture, no strings attached. It certainly doesn't warrant an elaborate lie involving your mother and the hospital.

Geeez, just eat the pie. Why does everything have to be about "mating" with you men. It probably wasn't anything more than a nice gesture since you dropped your pie and you mentioned pumpkin is your favorite. Please don't tell her you gave it away. That's just rude! Is she waiting on your front porch every night when you get home or something? Just get over yourself and be nice.

right well there is this thing we 13yr olds do occasionally that is called being nice lol unless she is immature and thinks she is really mature and has some wierd crush on you i would just thank her and eat it because if she does have a wierd crush on you she might have other psycho problems so i wouldnt talk about your mother or family or friends she might think you want to be in a relationship with her and eventually get married.
im 13 and dont have these problems or thoughts but you seem awful worried and i mean some people do have psychological problems!
