Posted: 8/22/2009 6:30:03 PM | I didn't send any roses my first month, and this month felt like those were two wasted roses that I could have sent. As for the "be mine" on it - that's something they put on those nasty candy hearts that taste about like flavored chalk, and they're on those little pull-apart valentines that kids give out to every one of their classmates. It isn't that big of a deal.
As for the favorites thing, I've clicked on add as a favorite if I wanted to contact a guy, but didn't have the first clue what to say at the moment. It's more like a bookmarking feature - but also lets the other person know that someone finds them interesting, but may be a bit tongue-tied.
This month I just sent out one rose even though I don't mean it as an indication of anything serious (and he knows that - the rose led to the all impressive phone call before deciding whether or not to have coffee), but I didn't realize that so many people would think poorly of me for becoming "deflowered."  | |

Posted: 8/22/2009 10:49:54 PM | LOL at this thread. Hilarious Santitas, I have noticed the 0 roses things myself and wondered. I don't understand the roses, sorry I can't go around giving out e-roses to men.
Maybe if we've met, hung out or chat regularly and it's his birthday or something, LOL. I don't know maybe I'm just greedy with my roses, we only get two! LOL. Hmm, giving roses, seems like a great way to scare a man off. 
But seriously what circumstances do people give roses, keeping in mind they are still actively pursuing other people on the site?
Thanks for the laugh,
Adylia

Posted: 8/22/2009 11:31:03 PM | What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
Romeo and Juliet
Can so much importance be placed on something so insignificant. it's a virtual rose if you gonna be upset ask the guy did he send her real ones because the virtual ones are worth just what you pay for them nothing. | |

Posted: 8/23/2009 9:12:06 AM | Depends on what your experiences are with the roses. I was dating a man--for about a month--the night he asked me to sleep with him--he sent his roses to two of my friends (not knowing they were friends of mine)--but they knew who he was--he asked both of them to meet for coffee-----they turned him down--so had I.
You are correct--for him the roses meant nothing..................... | |

Posted: 8/23/2009 9:16:56 AM | Ah...maybe I missing something but, they are virtual roses on an on-line dating site.
How much meaning can they really have?
Me thinks some people need to purchase a ticket back to the real world.
But that's me. | |

Wouldn't date a POF'er without a rose...
(she might not be a virgin)
If she has TWO, then she's GOTTA be a virgin!
Love these playful sarchasm threads...
of course, Stein, Frost, Shakespeare all said it first...a rose is (just) a rose...
(even if its a non-wilting VIRTUAL rose)
... been here years...never gave one...never got one.
But there is an amazing "american beauty" bush out front,
and "blushing chastity" bush out back. real rose, real prolific.
I give roses all the time...to all the women in my non-cyber life.
My mother, my "adoptive" mom, my daughter, my dates, the church ladies...
my secretary, the Doc's wife, my neighbors...
I hope they don't think I am too easy! | |

Posted: 8/23/2009 9:23:32 AM | | Doesn't bother me. Once in awhile I'll send out an ice cream cone, prefer them over the roses of which I have received, but never sent. I have to ask you guys, have you really seen what they look like and what the card says? Big roses with a large card that says BE MINE! Some women will take that literally -- be careful, you may get what you asked for. Or not. | |

Posted: 8/23/2009 9:23:37 AM | uhm...I sent a rose to a guy off the forums who contacted me and sais something funny as shyt.
I also sent a rose to a girl who was feeling down on the forums and I pretty much figured she needed a boost.
Course I didn't realize till later they say "be mine" ..lol
My point is...a rose is a rose is a rose. | |

Posted: 8/23/2009 9:41:35 AM | I maybe would care for a second. Then I always think, "well, if it's going that great for them, why is their profile still public?" and I send a message anyway. Frankly, most of the profiles I see have both roses available.
I sent one to a person I thought I had a connection with because I knew she was going to be leaving the site. She had left me her personal email...
Then she Houdini'd me..... ..... . .. nuts.
edit: BTW, I've never received one . :cry: | |

Posted: 8/23/2009 9:47:53 AM | | This is so utterly silly. I think the days of roses are numbered. You can no longer see the number of favorites or the last 5 thread posts on a profile, so the number of roses surely most be on the way out. I am surprised it did not get the axe with the number of favorites. | |

Posted: 8/23/2009 11:23:35 AM | | I think the whole rose ordeal is a joke, to be honest... It is a virtual rose, how can that possibly have any true feelings behind it??? Guys on here probably give them out like nothing, I bet they don't even think twice about it. It is just another gadget to have fun with... | |

Soo, if you got real roses, would ya? Lol. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's wondering. 
I suspect that every guy on this thread is making notes about who which women are impressed by these "gifts". Hey, yeah, they're not real, but neither (as I've discovered) is the palaver many of the pink pool people on here offer up, lol (privately, certainly not on these public forums).
Somewhere along the line, one's word seems to have been reduced almost to the value of these short-lived blooms (even thre real roses fade too quickly).
But contact is key, connection is the goal, and it doesn't matter what you spend, be it rose, fake or real, or word, if the effort works.
And now that the prevailing wisdom foretells the denouement of these flashy attention-getters, the pof pool may soon be awash in pretty petals. Lol
Here's to swimmin with bow-legged women (Cap'n Quinn, in Jaws). lol | |

If you feel that strongly about it, maybe you should send yourself some roses Happy!
Don't you see I keep having the two roses myself? In addition, there are so many roses in my yard; they are just for myself... | |

I've never sent anyone a rose yet and I won't until I mean exactly what it says on the attached card: "Be Mine."
Even if a guy had sent out one rose I will not contact him let alone two.
Finally, there is one who has the same thought and action that I have, "helping" to release my stress, LOL! | |
