I always just thought that this whole idea of sending a fake flower didn't really mean that much, but I guess that it get's pretty philosophical!! I personally haven't sent any roses cause I just thought that it might seem a bit cheesy. I like real flowers when you've actually met someone. I guess my analytical prowess must get better, I just thought it would be ok to tell someone what you really think of them! | |

Posted: 8/27/2009 6:08:41 AM | Huh. I'm doing it wrong. I sent my roses to two women who rejected me, as a way to say that I was totally friendly & cool about it. Of course, I didn't know that the roses said, "Be mine." That was a little awkward. However, it still didn't phase me much. I guess I just figured the roses were a lighthearted gesture that didn't mean much other than, "Hi I'm nice."
It seemed to work -- I remained on friendly terms. We still exchange email, which is nice.
I guess I'll try to avoid using them now. I clearly had no idea the connotations surrounding them. | |

Posted: 8/27/2009 3:12:33 PM | One rose left...
I leave her alone.
She is obviously keen on someone.
No roses left....
I may email her.
She wears her heart on her sleeve and is sending em out willy-nilly.
Obviously the first didn't take, so the second may not either. | |

Posted: 8/27/2009 3:58:53 PM | | I totally agree with what you said GoneSAilinBabe, also when I do receive a rose it is special unless you send it to me before even talking to me. I have sent one ever. If you have one left I may think you already have someone special, however I would still talk to you because you are obviously still fishing, at least see what you are all about. | |

Posted: 8/27/2009 4:07:55 PM | There are people who wont contact somenoe who has no roses left? How completely ignorant and utterly stupid. Seriously. These are the same people who wont date someone because they don't share their favorite color.
I've heard some pretty stupid reasons not to contact someone - but wow - "you don't have any roses left, therefore I can't talk to you!"
All I can do is shake my head and laugh at their utter ignorance.
There needs to be an IQ test required before access to the site is granted. | |

Posted: 8/27/2009 4:10:47 PM | I send the roses as needed to someone that sounds like they need it.
Some won't contact if they have several "friends" but I think that no longer displays on our profiles, so now you have to just count them... yeah right!

Just shows how stupid some people are - and they wonder why their relationships last no longer than a week...  | |

Posted: 8/27/2009 10:31:05 PM | Think about this a minute. If an inventory of digital flowers is all it takes to stand in the way of sending a "person of interest" a simple e-mail hello, then what does that say? Good grief, people, this is an on-line dating site ... not a game show to guess someone's character or whether they're involved with somebody else or not, based on 0, 1, or 2 roses.
Same holds for the digital steak, glass of wine, or box of chocolates. E-mails are inherently impersonal enough, but if all it takes is a picture of a dog in a cardboard box to win someone's interest then it's a good time to take a long, hard look at what we're doing here.
Logically, we could argue the meaning behind a 5,000-pt. background, too. Does that mean a person is selfish, stingy, and can't be counted on to buy an occasional digital tap beer?
I'm with angelsback -- this whole "digital gift" concept is beyond juvenile. | |

Posted: 8/28/2009 11:23:25 AM | | Sadly, a lot of people aren't as smart as they think, nor as intuitive. It's almost as if they get some enjoyment out of playing arm-chair psychologist and analyze every tiny detail about a profile to "better understand" the person they're looking at before ever sending the first message. Most of the time they're completely off mark and don't have a clue as to what the hell they're talking about. Lots of dumbasses out there - which explains why dating can often be so difficult. | |

Posted: 8/28/2009 12:15:59 PM | I honestly didn't even know there was a "rose detector" lol! Didn't occur to me. So it doesn't make any difference to me.
I find the roses a bit too flowery anyway, so I usually don't send 'em, out of "professional courtesy"...I like to think the women I'm interested in are intelligent enough to see through flowery romanticism anyway...at least until the in-person date-! I actually get further with e-communication when I DON'T send a rose. | |

Does the rose thing make any difference to you?
I personally tend not to pass judgements based on profiles and missing roses etc just because I know that I tend to play a lot online as well and expect others to do the same. Just saying that they are "open for a relationship" is good enough for me regardless of what they have/have not done with their electronic roses. Obviously if they are still looking the roses did not work and I might be the right one for them :-). | |

(raising hand slowly, but surely) I've send alot of the real kind to women. One of 'em was my mom.  All were to women I really liked, I wanted to do a nice thing, and all of them really liked getting them. But, my heart was not included in those deliveries, or if it was, it got sent back at some time after their receipt. And my experience teaches me that the mysteries embedded in any one woman are often more than I can easily resolve, so I've never done that two-timing thing, cuz I don't have the RAM/processor for that. lol
And the pof roses, as most seem to understand, aren't real; they're for playing with, not taking to heart. I swapped mine with a sporting young lady a few months ago, in this very thread. lol She's really cute, too! lol We all want to believe that there is some element of "real" to the goings on here, but the virtual roses??!!!.  | |

Posted: 9/3/2009 10:12:07 AM | Hello:
I think that people try to be nice and complimentary. Some people recognize this some refuse too. When we look for a relationship we should look past online gifts and go straight to the heart.
Just my opinion. | |

Posted: 9/3/2009 12:08:29 PM | | Well, here's my take on the rose thing. If I notice that a rose is missing before we started to get to know one another, it's no big deal with me. On the other hand, because I am exclusive with someone here from POF and have been for quite some time and I noticed that one of HIS roses were missing and I was not the one to recieve it, he and I would definitely be having a conversation about that "missing rose". Other than that, what happens before me really should not matter. It's what happens after that would really make the difference. | |
