Posted: 8/27/2007 9:41:32 PM | I plan to use the ‘be mine’ roses to let someone browsing my profile know how available I am. If I’m really liking a certain guy and planning to meet with him soon, so not wanting a lot of input from other men, I’ll send one ‘be mine’ rose. If both ‘be mine’ roses are gone, it means he’s got both because we’ve met offline and things are going really well between us.
And if that changes, within 30 days I’ll have two new roses to show that I’m fully available again. LOL.
So, while the ‘be mine’ roses are just bits of code, the feature can be used to make a statement to someone special as well as others -- and that is the way I take it when I see a guy has one or both missing -- that he's met someone recently and it's going really well.
I’ve also sent out a beer or few as a gesture of friendship. It doesn’t have to be all about the future one-and-only. | |

Posted: 8/27/2007 10:16:04 PM | | I love to give my roses away to friends who I feel need them or I know it will simply put a smile on their faces. I don't overanalyze the missing roses on people's profiles. So if someone tries to prescreen me based on missing roses, it is their loss. | |

Posted: 8/28/2007 5:45:46 AM | Hmmmmm I've gotten a few of those flower things....and I have some to send. I guess I just never really paid attention to them.
Now I dont know if I wouldn't email someone just because they didn't have rose things.... | |

Posted: 8/30/2007 2:00:14 PM | They're imaginary roses on a website, not an engagement ring. If someone's that involved with someone, there should be an indication in their profile, such as changing what they're looking for to e-mail/friends. Or indicating in the profile that they're taken. People chat/e-mail & date multiple people on dating sites.
In the past, I did e-mail a guy who was in the process of getting more serious with someone he'd met on the online dating site (Match). He thanked me for the interest & explained things. I wished him well with the relationship. And I didn't fall into a rejection wallow. I'd rather try and get an e-mail like that, then never try & wonder what if. The worst that'll happen is the person will tell you they're pursuing someone else. It's suvivable and you won't even need a support group! | |

Posted: 8/31/2007 3:45:46 AM | I am curious as to why people are taking the whole new "roses" function seriously. It's just something new and fun that the site created, nothing more.
Now if they are sending REAL roses, that's a different story.  | |

Posted: 8/31/2007 6:29:24 AM | | I hadnt even paid any attention to the roses until this thread. Have seen the stupid virtual gifts and the favorites list. Have to say if there is mutual interest in communicating its not going to be with this clumsy POF messaging setup for more than three or four letters. Even if both parties dont want to give out private info quite yet, free anonymous AND DISPOSABLE email accounts (gmail, hotmail, yahoo, etc) arent hard to come by and lot easier to use. Gmail even offers builtin free pop3 opti0n so you can easily add the account to your email client (outlook express, thunderbird, sylpheed, etc...) | |

Posted: 8/31/2007 7:25:45 AM | | I don't think it really matters - I will say I notice, but it doesn't really make an impression one way or the other, at least that I've noticed.) I have someone on here that I'm not really compatible with, but enjoy e-mailing. Every once in a while we'll send each other one of the roses, just as a fun thing. I mean come on - it's a picture of a rose...what't the big deal? | |

Posted: 9/18/2007 3:28:24 PM | While i dont pay too much atention to virtual roses and gifts, if someone has no roses to send then it means he is developing a relationship with someone. I dont usually bother to mail if this is the case. Maybe im old fashioned in a sense, but flowers are flowers be them virtual or real and i wouldnt send some stranger roses from a shop.
Thats just my view and do respect all the views that have been posted.
But should anyone wanna send some real ones the addy is ..............

Posted: 9/18/2007 3:31:07 PM | I got 2 emails, from the same guy, in 2 days, and both had the rose attached..
did we get engaged,?
LMAO
and his picture wasnt clear, and the words he used
sounded just like an almost mistake ..I had broken up with, my gut said it was him, trying to get my attention...had his chance..
No, he didnt impress me...he scared me!
The virtual gifts are cool tho..
I have chat buddies,, we buy beer,, one is a steelers fan,,so he sends me that "gold" bear cause it AINT BLUE..
and the purple flowers...cause they AINT BLUE
its all in fun
I think the red roses are supposed to be a "heads up" I am taking a chance...or not... | |

Posted: 9/18/2007 3:35:16 PM | | If a guy I was interested in sent out all his roses to other women it would break my heart, but fortunately it would just be my virtual heart and I get two new ones each month. | |

Posted: 9/20/2007 1:52:33 PM | | ..who really cares? i've sent roses attatched to a note..i'm sure i didn't make thier day though i always seem to get a polite responce! it's all in fun ! | |

Posted: 9/20/2007 2:13:00 PM | Ever heard this...."it's the thought that counts!"? I think the roses and the virtual
gifts are cool if you use them the right way.
I enjoy a new contact sending the bouquet of flowers....I've had many men knock on my
door with flowers...and I like it. Until something happens to make you want to actually meet......digital roses are ok.
I use the gifts mostly to say I'm sorry it took me a while to get back to you....or
some such.....but I think anyone receiving them would understand by my email.
Back to your original question........If I found the person really interesting, I would send
the email regardless. Given that things fall apart faster than they come together.....you
have no idea what happened before....and others before have said....at this point it is none
of my business...period...end of discussion. We all have lives! The person you are searching for has a life. If everything was perfect, we wouldn't be here...looking.
Cut everyone some slack....now and later.....lives are complicated and sometimes it
takes awhile for things to settle down so that they are to everyone's liking.
Remember we are Adults......and any mail is better than no mail...but mostly that person
that seesaws back and forth and decides No.....may have missed the best opportunity
of their life. Go for it!!

Posted: 9/20/2007 3:01:37 PM | Roses ... hmmm.
I saw them in the profiles for the longest time, but seem so... unimportant. (to me anyway)
I think a nice compliment in a PM when worded properly is worth more than any amount of virtual roses.
I always thought the roses were reserved for the guys trying to get laid and spit out a few e-roses hoping to quicken the process. hahaha | |

Posted: 11/19/2008 8:07:07 PM | | If they have no roses I think they must be trying to hard or be a playa. I have never gave a rose. Yes beware of rose senders! If they were interested they would not be sending others roses. | |
