It may not be everyones "thing" but I for one love them ,and despite what some have said , flowers on a random tuesday often mean much more than roses on valentines day etc! | |

And even though I know how to open doors myself (and do so everyday) it is flattering when a guy takes the time to do so. | |

Posted: 8/11/2008 9:23:41 PM | I love flowers....there's a vendor right across the street from where I work who makes the most beautiful bouquets for $5.00, $10.00, and up.....I often buy myself a $5.00 bouquet......
But for any fellas out there who would like to make me happy and buy me a bouquet of ANY size, I'll give you the vendor's location, and hours of business.... | |

I agree with you. I buy flowers for myself all the time. I love having flowers in the house. When I had a garden, I grew them. Now, I can't do that, but there are venders on the street and I buy them. It is always nice to get flowers from anyone. I give flowers to both men and women to thank them for various things. If someone at work has helped me out in some special way, I will pick up a small bunch of flowers and take it in to work for them the next day. It's a gesture. I take flowers when I am invited to anyone's house for dinner. Getting flowers from a man, a man you like, is absolutely wonderful. Giving a woman flowers on the first date is a very nice gesture, but it's really even much better to do it once you are envolved and not just for special occasions. I think it's pretty clear lots of women love getting flowers. Some don't care. | |

Posted: 8/11/2008 10:08:28 PM | I also love receiving flowers, especially a bunch of flowers he knows I like. That shows he is listening! I've also appreciate a rare or exotic flowering plant to plant in my garden - especially a perennial. His thoughtfulness repeats itself annually!
As for being a gentleman, absolutely! I am very impressed with a man who holds a door open, is polite to waiters/waitresses, insists on carrying things, opens the car door for me, has a "ladies first" attitude and protects me from harm. It brings out my soft, feminine side. | |

Of course you do. You also have a selfish attitude. A guy like this is whipped. Opening doors and getting flowers is nice but beyond that its whipped.
Do you open his car door from the inside? Do you let him get the bigger piece of whatever? Do you protect him from harm?
Carry your stuff? So do you do a majority of the housework? Do you do his laundry when you're over at his house?
So only a man should be polite to waiters and waitresses?
The soft , feminine side does not exist.

Posted: 8/26/2008 5:11:27 AM | | That is sweet. I have sent flowers to 2 men, and in both cases, not a thank you from either of them. The last one acted as if it never happend until I asked if he got them. Then the little napolian said it was a hit at work (eyeroll). I have not recieved flowers in over 12 years...so please don't stop being sweet. If someone did that for me I would feel special. It is not out of style. People's attitudes are. | |

Posted: 8/26/2008 5:19:24 AM | Looks like about 90% of the women say YES to flowers -- at least if in a relationship and no allergies -- and I'm with them. I work with a couple in a rel. and every once in a while he leaves flowers at her desk and the rest of us women go nuts. I keep asking him if he has a brother. I would not pay attention to the men who say no flowers -- listen to the women. It doesn't have to be a $75 bouquet of roses. Flowers in general are nice, VERY nice according to the women out here.
When I'm dressed up for the evening and in heels I really like having a door held open for me (it's hard to get proper leverage to pull on a door when you're in heels!). The rest of the time, doesn't matter one way or the other. I don't want you leaping to every door like I'm incapable, that's kind of over the top, I think. If your arms are full of packages, I'll open the door for you. At work we have a secure door, everyone has to badge in, and the person ahead (male or female) normally holds the door they've opened while the person behind (male of female) is swiping their badge. Just common courtesy.
Courtesy and thoughtfulness -- on behalf of either gender -- is never old fashioned. Ask Miss Manners! :-) | |

Posted: 8/26/2008 9:23:06 PM | Ahhh, it's so old fashioned that it'll make her swoon. It's rarely done these days. I was 52 before anyone gave me flowers - a dozen yellow roses. I couldn't get over it. The same man always opened the car door for me, which was a new experience. I'm a card carrying liberated woman and I was amazed at how my first taste of chivalry melted me.
I haven't read your profile, but I'd suggest - go for it! | |

Why flowers though, specifically? Instead of, say, a potato?
My exbf brought a pineapple for me on our first date. It tickled the forevers out of my kids. I didn't know what to think! | |

Screw the flowers! I want a potato now! REALLY. They grow little sprouts you know, that grow up to be other potatoes.
How 'bout if I supersized your fries on the first date? That's like getting more potatoes right there... | |

Politely declines. I'd sooner the salad.
Then Fedex a potato after the date. | |
