Posted: 7/16/2007 11:45:17 PM | it doesnt bother me. his roses are not my concern (his credit card is my concern! hahaaha just JOKING). really I havent met anyone on this site who i would accept a BE MINE rose from anyway. seriously. Im not here for a bunch of baloney scented roses. just fun friends and joking around the world.
now I certainly do love the other less overwhelming gifts, tulips, teddy, candy etc. ...."be Mine" message would just make me laugh. Any guy who says that to me BETTER have good sense enough to wait until we meet in person a variety of times...and then say that to me IN PERSON. hahaha....a baloney rose valentine. naaaaaaa. not my style!!
I dont care if he send them to other people.....since my conversations are platonic and harmless. no biggie. | |

Posted: 7/18/2007 8:51:42 AM | ^^ ^^ ^^ i loved that response, cool dude! well said!
who gives a rat's patoot about virtual roses ???? it seems to me that people will come up with any excuse to actually AVOID meeting someone, getting close to someone, or actually DO the thing they say they are here to do -- which is find love, including "freaking out" about if they have roses, or their online/offline stuff, or whatever... why not just TALK to the person and see if you click?!?!
just recently i was talking to a guy on IM who sounded SO interested -- now? he needs me to send him my number again (can't find it), he also did not call sunday monday or tuesday when he said he would.
this is the thing i am most tired of in online personals -- the flaky people, the way people say one thing and behave completely contrary to that. it's just a phone call -- what's the big deal? it's just virtual roses -- who cares about it? it is totally and completely meaningless in both the short term and the long term and any which way one might look at it...
and that's my rant on this fine day.     | |

Posted: 7/18/2007 9:19:42 AM | Mine still has 2 roses and I haven't had a reason to send them to anyone, but I do notice if it shows a guy has 1 or 0 roses sent on his profile because it indicates someone has caught his interest and for the one that has the'final rose' I wonder if maybe I would get the last rose? lol Kinda like the show 'The Bachelor' 'will you accept this rose?'  | |

Posted: 7/18/2007 9:30:18 AM | When I first got to this site I sent my roses off right away because I think they are a lame gimmick and was just messing around.
I'm sure nothing makes a woman's knees weak like getting a picture of a rose in a message on a dating site! | |

Tells me she has something going with someone and that I needen't bother.
Just an assumption here but EVERYONE has something going on, women usualy have several men she is chatting with that has a possible date/relationship at the end of the tunnel... With that philosophy, you may as well never send an email to any woman because they all have people they're interested in.
I've sent a couple of those gift things, one to someone on the first email. Its a way to lighten up the already frustrating part of online dating. I've sent some to women I've been chatting with who live across the country from me but are really nice, its often just a way to make a friends day.
As for seeing someone who hasn't sent those 2 monthly roses just because its valentines day doesn't mean anything other then, they obviously have no one they are hoping to take out on a date. As for Mothers Day and they still have their 2 monthly roses... Their mom is on POF? :o sorry was funny... I've met a few women with children, 2 roses wont go far... someones going without one from me. | |

Now, if a date would show up with a wild flower.... do not let him loose. | |

Posted: 7/19/2007 4:18:17 PM | | Of course i would still message them . Why would i care what a total stranger does with his virtual roses. Why anyone would care about this is beyond me . You don't know this person , they don't know you . There certainly is no relationship between the two of you so what would it matter? | |

Posted: 7/19/2007 7:12:25 PM | | I never look at that, to be honest. Feels kind of jaded if you start judging someone on that of all things. Give them time, don't you worry, they'll give you more then enough reasons to qustion their motives and be jaded about them, but don't use that of all reasons... ;-D | |

Posted: 7/19/2007 10:23:22 PM | | For some reason I have NO roses and never have had. Don't ask me why. That said, if I did, I'd send them to my girl friend, who is also on here, because we think it's funny to send each other stuff with our points. Virtual gifts mean so much! LOL | |

Posted: 7/19/2007 10:41:45 PM | | Why not? If you have never talked with him/her before, why shouldn't they have sent out a rose? They're looking too. Also, as some of the posts have stated, there are a lot of different reasons as to why they sent one, or two, or more. If you're getting into something more of a long term relationship, then I think it would be nice if they told you up front who and why they sent one to avoid any misunderstandings. Until the two of you are exclusive, I don't see a problem with it. | |

Posted: 7/19/2007 10:48:53 PM | If a man has 1 or 2 roses missing, then I figured he sent them to someone else and there must be a budding relationship happening. Or he's really into someone so I usually won't bother.
Likewise, if I have known of a man who has gone through 6 months or more and the holidays, valentine's day, and mother's day and is always online and NEVER gave out a rose...that is a red flag as well. Some people are selfish.
damned if you, damned if you don't, huh?
i've never given one out. just don't see the need. if i talk to someone and we get along, it doesn't mean anything to give a cyber rose. if i like a girl enough, she'll get plenty of flowers in real life. | |

Posted: 7/20/2007 1:21:14 PM | | Personally, I think the whole virtual gift thing is kinda dorky. But hey, that's just me. They wouldn't have them on this site if a lot of people didn't enjoy them. Just not my thing. | |

Posted: 7/20/2007 1:39:01 PM | | It's really a bit of a gimmick, I doubt anyone really takes the roses seriously. I've never paid much attention to them anyway. | |

Posted: 8/25/2007 4:44:41 PM | Well - spank my hiney and call me Naughty! Geuss what. I gotta tell on myself here. I sent one of my roses to a friend a while back - just for smiles. I then went on a date with an amazing man. 30's had passed, and I got my roses restocked. Geuss what happened then. Go on, guess. Ok I'll tell you. I was able to send this fabulous man BOTH of those roses. Yeah, I KNOW they are just binary code or electronic blips that make up virtual pics - but - it was actually NICE to send them to him. Kinda made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. If I'm still here in 30 days time, he'll get the next 2 as well. Yeah, I know it. I folded. I can live with that. | |

Posted: 8/26/2007 12:15:39 PM | | Good grief half the time I never know where my roses go to. I mean it isn't something that I am going sweat over. I will say if a guy doesn't email because I don't have any "Roses" his loss not mine | |

Posted: 8/26/2007 5:15:51 PM | I'd love to speak on this. I am dating a fantastic woman (who many of you are probably acqainted with). Before we became serious I had sent a rose to another gal who I had a couple of dates with because she had related a string of horrible days to me and I thought it might cheer her up. So there was one, gone.
I then sent one to Ms Fantastic because, well, because she is fantastic. So now I'm out and it sucks because if I could, I'd mail her a rose every day. But I can't for a few days.
Easy fix, though. I gave her a real one the other night.
I saw that she had no roses at her disposal when we started connecting. Not a biggie. Whoever got the roses can keep them. I got the girl and I that's what really counts.
...who luvs ya, babe? | |

I think its beyond kinda dorky, it's full on dorky. I wouldn't send one to someone.
At the end of the day, with few exceptions, until and unless I'm in a relationship with a woman, what's been going on between her and other men just isn't my business
Exactly. For everyone. | |
