I don't know how to let him down gently..

so, an online friend I've been talking to for a while now has managed to get me something (he won't tell me what it is), but tells me it's something I'll really love

here's the issue: he's really excited about sending it, but he doesn't have my address. he doesn't have my address because, I don't want him to have it (not because he's a bad person, I just don't want him to have my address, and to be fair, you never know)

I just don't know how to let him down gently. he's so excited, and if I reply to his email saying that he can't send it to me, he's going to be so upset

what's worse is that he actually traveled a way to get it. he actually searched high and low for this, so I feel I can't really let him down.. he's made a real effert

I think you can get things sent to post offices or drop off points..... so maybe look into that idea so then you don't have to let him down :)

hi,

thanks for your response.

I gave him the address of the post office and it's now on it's way

(and it's an ornament angel, going to be so nice!)
