| What do you think about getting flowers from your better half?
Posted: 5/9/2007 1:20:17 PM | Here's an unusual flower story...About a year ago I was chatting back and forth with a women from match.com. We had sent each other emails back and forth for a couple of weeks and were planning a meeting the following week. I didn't want to seem to forward and ask for this women’s address before we met but I wanted to send her flowers as a surprise. I did however know the crossroads where she lived so I looked to see if there was a florist in the vicinity. Turned out there was a florist just a few blocks from her crossroads. I called the florist and ordered two dozen roses and gave them just her screen name and paid for them with a credit card and said the person with the screen name would swing by and pick then up. I sent an email to the girl from match and told her there was a package waiting for her at the florist and all she had to do was stop in and give her screen name. She did and she thought it was very romantic.
We met for dinner the following week and the date didn't go well. Turned out we really didn't have anything in common even though we had chatted in emails for weeks. I had built her up to be someone she wasn't and for all I know she thought the same thing about me.
Ever since that time I don't send flowers to women I've never met and when I do meet them I go in with low expectations so I don't let myself down. I don't meet for dinner for a first date anymore and only will meet for coffee, which I already knew, was the way to go...I just didn't read the forums then! | |

What is your opinion and what kind of flowers you like the most?
I'm not the type to give flowers to a guy. But hey, if ever he came home with peach and yellow roses at any given time - I'm not complaining. It's all good. | |

Giving flowers is an ancient relationship art. Florist make the most money on Valentine Day.
Saying it with flowers is a language of love worldwide. That flower industry is making money worldwide.
I thinks it a very nice feeling to receive flowers from the guys what you are in a relationship or date or if you are married from your spouse too.
Its a very nice, warmth and great feeling. It will add up the Ladies love bank account, then getting Diamond.
I remembered in my lst marriage on one of our anniversity in New York, my ex spouse has given me a bouquet of roses that cost them a lot of money. It was so sweet, he even got heart shaped chocolate, card and wine and friends coming to celebrate the ocasion too.
I would love that my date give me a rose in my date. That is very sweet and lovely gesture and make the evening very romantic too. I would certainly appreciate it and give him a kiss too for my future date too.
I remember got flower for my ex spouse too in the past.
So go ahead all you guys and gals here ...says it with flowers...its a language of love. | |

Posted: 5/10/2007 11:29:44 AM | | I've gott'n flower such as a rose on Valentines day. But I can't remember the last time someone "just" bought me flowers because they saw them, felt wonderful and appreciative of their beauty and wanted to buy them for me because they reminded my partner of me and the way I make them feel. On the other hand I always like buying flowers for my partner. For the same reason stated above. They are beuatiful, they smell nice and they make me appreciate life just looking at htem. Very much so like my partner. | |

Posted: 5/11/2007 4:36:47 AM | | I'll often give someone a single rose. I do it as a portrayal of my feelings for them, especially in time of doom and gloom BUT I also like to do the single rose just to do it. Sorta giving part of me. I'd only do it on isolated instances and would prefer to give something I know that they would like on other times. I save my flowers for something specific (I know when it is time). | |

Posted: 5/11/2007 6:36:38 AM | | My last better half had a lot of faults . That being said I want to thank the OP for giving us this chance to think of the good things . In that last relationship , he would surprise me every 2 weeks or more often by bringing me flowers (always a nice mixed bouquet) . He kept up with it every 2 weeks for the first 2 years ... it then dwindled down to every couple months . I loved getting them , never expected them , and it always made me smile ! Not once did I ever think the reason for the giving was because he did something wrong . To this day I still believe firmly he gave them to me to show his appreciation for what I did for him , to show his love , and to make me smile ! | |

Posted: 5/11/2007 6:41:03 AM | | OP, I enjoy getting flowers and also just buying them for myself; I also enjoy giving them to my partner (when I have one)...I don't believe flowers are just for women; they're just something pretty, they smell good, and they brighten up a room. | |

Posted: 5/11/2007 8:15:49 AM | I was in college years ago and it was around Easter. I had been dating this girl for about a month or so. I was back home for Easter. My sister wasn't living at home and I seen some flowers come to the door. I thought "oh sweet, my sister got my mom some flowers" Suddenly I heard "Rob, these are for you" and they were a nice arrangement of flowers with a little bunny on them.
Frankly it kinda freaked me out, since no one had ever done that for me before. But it made me think "WOW she really likes me!" It was such a sweet gesutre! She was great!
Myself, I always made sure I did NOT buy flowers for my ex after a fight. I didn't want them to be given for the wrong reason. I would get her flowers for all the occasions, birthday, easter, mothers day, but sometimes the mood would strike me and I would just get her some for no reason at all. Those were my favorite times. Getting them for her just because I was thinking about her all day at work, and wanted to let her know how crazy I was about her. | |

Posted: 5/12/2007 8:00:49 AM | Last time I got flowers it was on my first date with a guy from POF he came to my house with a flower pot rose he got me white roses ! My favorites !That was a good guess! But he forgot to take the safeway price tag I thought it was funny!
The flowers died the week-end we stopped seiing each other.I thought that was a sign because he keep joking that they will last until we don't see each others...
They needed to be wathering ah! THAT'S WHY! | |

Posted: 5/12/2007 9:38:29 AM | | I never received flowers from a date of BF, (though my ex BF used to always buy himself fresh flowers, but thats another story) but I've given flowers to friends or as a gift when being invited to dinner. During college, I cleaned houses for extra income, and I would always leave the clean house with a vase of fresh flowers. It just looked great. | |

Posted: 5/12/2007 10:01:15 AM | | I only ever dated one guy who gave me flowers regularly. I agree most men think receiving flowers are a waste of good beere money. I love flowers and he sometimes picked them, and sometimes bought them, and once in a while they were delivered. He sent them when he was on the goodbye end of a long visit or trip...just to keep me remembering him while he was away. But, despite this, it was the little things he picked up, ever thoughtful... a gameboy I'de looked at (BD present), a set of sticky notes with my name on it, an antique tea spoon (and some tea leaves)...that were most thoughtful and the best gifts were his "memories" - he would bring up good times often and make details of me - feel -- positive, humourous and romantic, he showed love in many ways and and flowers were just one of the kind things he did! Because of this, my standards are higher, and I can close my eyes and remember the smell of just about any great flower. | |

Posted: 5/12/2007 11:13:07 AM | | well, if a guy is interested in recieving flowers,by all means.personally i believe that the gift should be tailored to the interests of the recipient.game tix and beer always seem to work nicely though. and who doesnt like getting a just because i was thinking of you gift?the more random the better. there have been quite a number of days that started out truly heinously and i ended up feeling great because someone thought to give even the smallest just because i was thinking of you gift.I do love flowers though,my personal favorites are white peach and pink roses,and of course gardenias | |

Posted: 5/12/2007 12:06:21 PM | I love getting surprised with a bunch of flowers... I know they don't last long but that's part of the luxury of the gift. I especially love them when they are not attached to a specific occasion or reason, rather that *just because I love you* moment...
In the past, I tended to reciprocate by giving a new shirt, aftershave, alcohol... anything that I know would be appreciated...  | |
