So it seems I have gotten some chocolate today. Unsigned. Did any of you happen to see/hear anything?

No security alarms were triggered, that's the extent of my observation. I assume you mean it was left somewhere for you, and didn't come through the mail?

It was on our coffee table. No signature. Just my name. And it's typed so I can't figure out the handwriting. It also looks handmade. I would be touched were I to know who it was from, but mostly I am just confused.

You could always ask around? We do have a lot of single girls and Jean-Phillipe.

Well, let us narrow it down. Angel would not, being my ex girlfriend and smarties are more her style. Jennie I would expect a pig's heart with a nail through it. Yvette is not here. Sooraya probably looks down on the infidel holiday. Laurie ...might. Nori is all bruised, but might because I took her to the doctor after she hurt her back. The Stepfords are a world of no.
And if it is from our French friend. I will have words with him. And none of them will resemble "te amo"

Oh, you're looking at too small a pool. You forget that both Jane and Monet are single. As is Lorna, come to think of it, and we know she likes younger men.

I didn't hear anything or anything but I was up early this morning and I didn't see anything when I got up either.
If it wasn't chocolate I'd come see if I could figure out who sent 'em, but chocolate's smell is too strong and kinda drowns out anything else.
Are they any good? I mean, if they suck maybe you DON'T wanna know who sent them.

Okay, that last one is unfunny. She is my teacher, I am her student, and there are Boundaries. I am aware of boundaries. Forgetting boundaries leads to badness.

Plus there's fire-chick with the french name that I totally can't spell, and Miriam and Talia - but I don't think it was Miriam - she's not in either cooking class and she didn't ask anyone to make any for her, and I don't think she'd be cooking by herself, since she's blind...

It's pretty good. Some thought went into this, which is why I am so curious.
I mean, who gives me chocolate?
(granted, I am the only single straight male within range, therefore I think standards get lowered)

Well, Ramsey AND Forge are both dating hotties. Maybe it's some kind of mutant chicks like dorks thing. I mean, dude, lets be honest here, Mr. Summers? Kind of a dork. Used to wear glasses. Dr. Grey? MEGA HOT.
Except Clarice is a hottie and I am SO NOT a dork.

And you know, Janet DOES like sweets. And with her new position as RA, would have easily have had reason to duck into the suite at some point.
It could also have been Dani, but something tells me Dani doesn't go for the short guys.

Is this going be another one of those "You should join the team Julio! Girls in leather!" discussions, no? I tell you, you will help me out so much by just taking a camera with you during training sessions.
Now that I can see, I will be able to shoot you from very far away now.

You know, I wonder if that was part of the Professor's plan all along when he got the X-Men going. "Encourage human-mutant coexistence, because our women look fantastic in tight black leather."
And they do, you know.

Boundaries Forge, I have boundaries. I respect boundaries. Even if they are from someone older than me. Because first you are dating your RA and then you're sleeping with your father's boss's wife.

Marius very specifically dates not of the co-inhabitants of Xavier's. Personal regulations aside, that way lies the Going of Evil, the Blasted Crater in the Hallway Carpet, and of course the ever-popular Screaming Catfight in the Foyer.
So yes. Julio, whilst I haven't any idea which of the lovely ladies has seen fit to express her appreciation of you, I offer these three words: best of luck.

He won't do it! He says "Oi, do I look that stupid mate?" and then I say "yes you do" and then he says he will not do it.

well, fortunately for me I do not sleep with more than one woman at a time, so I will avoid this problem. For instance, my ex-girlfriend did not set me on fire when i broke up with her.
Chivalry is more than getting a woman to take her top off.

I am somewhat weary of the implication that one's level of promiscuity is in direct proportion to a lack of respect for one's favoured gender. See the various female relationships in my life, beginning with my own mother and going along down the line to a good many of my mates, all of whom are both willing and imminently able to punish me for such lack of respect. I also respect and fear these individuals enough to, say, refrain from such acts as planting a camera in their locker room.
I love women. I simply feel no need to attach myself to any one in particular. I have a great many enjoyable female acquaintances, platonic and intimate; my life feels no more empty for a lack of committment, and certainly less complicated.
. . . I confess I am not entirely certain how I achieved this tangent, but surely it may be somehow applicable to the spirit of Valentine's Day.

I say it simply because I have been in love, and while it was ultimately a bad idea, it does not mean that I do not want to be in love again. I cannot imagine someone who willingly does not seem to want it. It confuses me. being in love is terrifying yes, it is giving someone the power to hurt you horribly, but also it makes everything sharper and more in-focus.
Imagine the feeling of scoring ten game winning goals, and being able to get that feeling just by taking someone's hand.
That is why I want to know who left me this present. It takes an act of insurmountable bravery to even tell someone that you like them. I do not want this to go unanswered.

Possibly our conception of love merely differs. I care for my mates a great deal, and, despite all logic, my family as well. Those are constants, and that level of affection I maintain in a separate sphere. However, that is not to say I feel nothing for the women I have the fortune to enjoy the night with. Even should the flirting come to naught I rarely find the experience was wasted -- every woman has her own unique attraction. I am hardly claiming to be above the purely casual encounter (for example, most of my fifteenth year), but ideally as much time is spent enjoying the other party's company as their physical charms. I would not call it falling "in love," but there is a certain rush in discovering that ephemermal quality which makes a woman truly attractive rather than just aesthetically pleasing. I derive pride and satisfaction from making the discovery, and endeavor to provide my partner with equal enjoyment.
Perhaps this feeling you describe is one you yourself are capable of experiencing only with one whom you love and trust, and no argument, it sounds pleasant enough. However, as for myself, I experience much the same feelings by my contact with many and varied parties. There is, perhaps, no "right," only "most preferred".
However, I do concede your reasoning for wishing to provide reciprocation to the mystery party. Utilitarian though my views of romance may be, I cannot argue such a move takes boldness. Alas, the answer is still beyond me.
