I will just remind you that, you do have expectations. Certainly, most people have expectations of some sort. Just remember what your expectations are and that you intend not to be offended or upset if the expectations don't pan out the way you hoped.
For example, even though you wanted nothing in return for the flowers, you KNOW the potential effects of flowers on the table. So, you do have expectations.
Rather, when you consider consequences of your words or actions, simply do the words or actions and... forget about them... it might be what you are doing for the most part. I'm just putting that out there for you to consider.
