Posted: 11/20/2008 10:11:24 AM | This may sound silly, but I honestly sent a rose to someone I was getting to know well on here, just to see what it looked like. I wanted to see what this "be mine rose" was all about. I felt pretty silly once I saw what it was, to be honest!
I wouldn't assume it means anything if a person has zero roses. | |

Posted: 11/20/2008 10:41:39 AM | Umm...some folks are making it seem like roses are analogous to a wedding ring.
I've gotten roses and nothing came out of it...all of those men are ones I wasn't even interested who said 'Hi" and sent a rose....
So it doesn't mean anything IMO. And I don't really check the rose count thing so I probably wouldn't notice if he had no roses. | |

Posted: 11/20/2008 11:07:57 AM | | Oh my gosh, some of you are way tooooo serious. In fact to me it is a red flag if a guy gets all hung up about something like this. Just too silly, too controlling, too paranoid, too suspicious, yada yada yada. Lighten up, only 99% are out to get you, not everyone. | |

Posted: 3/31/2009 3:03:14 PM | You go, girl. The "be mine" flower speaks volumes and as for the lame excuse of sending one to a "friend" just to "cheer them up" is a load of C R A P. I admit that some guys I've exchanged emails, phone calls and agreed to date despite this issue, is simply my oversight--my fault Yep, I've accepted dates from dudes w/no flowers left and that was MY mistake. If I can't be first choice, I move on. Life's too short.
PS- I don't want them emailing me either, so THERE!!! | |

Posted: 3/31/2009 4:30:34 PM | I did once, but it went downhill fast, i don't know if it had anything to do with them missing a rose, but they definitely were having some kind of issue  I couldn't even decide if she was answering me or sending me messages intended for someone else  | |

Posted: 3/31/2009 11:32:11 PM | | That's about as stupid as not wanting to contact someone because a lot of people put them on their favorite lists. One can't help if dozens of people do this and I sure don't have time to delete these people all the time. But then again, I wouldn't want some guy who was so anal about such things, jealous, possessive, insecure, control freak come to mind. | |

Yes, I would...Maybe she sending roses to her friends, or something.
I know it says "Be mine", but she still could just send it to someone going through some bad times or whatever.
I got one of those before, didn't think nothing of it.It was from a friend, not a girlfriend, just a friend. | |

Posted: 4/1/2009 7:06:14 AM | Been on this site for nearly 7 months, and have yet to send out a rose. I don't even pay them, any attention.
Perhaps, one day, I'll send them off to a special friend. Male or female. | |

Posted: 4/1/2009 7:33:56 AM | Wow! According to the logic of the OP of this tired old thread, now its not even OK for someone to be interested enough in another person to send them a virtual flower online, because the he/she they are really meant to be with, who they haven't even met yet, might consider it a potential red flag!? "OMG, he must be a player, he has actually corresponded with other women thru the dating site we're both on!" It really is April Fool's Day, isn't it??  | |

Posted: 4/1/2009 11:02:55 AM | | When I first signed up here...I accidentally sent one to somebody. I think people read too much into something. I've received roses from men I'm just friends with. | |

Posted: 4/1/2009 11:07:01 AM | Well, guess I'm the lucky one -- the nice lady had the sense to send me a virtual shot of Tequile and not a rose.
I agree -- DTD -- roses mean little if anything. | |

Posted: 4/1/2009 11:09:15 AM | I don't get the point of this "roses" thing... is it supposed to be romantic?
I do sympathize with you OP, but after much consideration about this same kind of thing myself- I think watching someone's "roses" is like watching the "favorites" list... it causes paranoia over what can be really innocent. Besides, let's face it... unless we're exclusive either of us can talk to whomever we want- regardless of if we are or not.
90% of the people who add me to their favorites list don't even bother sending me an email to say hi. What's up with that? That would be misleading to any male looking at my profile so I started removing myself from people's favorites lists if they DON'T say hello. These kinds of things can drive people insane... oie... technology! | |

Posted: 4/2/2009 5:48:16 AM | I agree with u, wholeheartedly. The second of the month rolls around and already a dude's two "be mine" roses are gone? I see this all the time and I won't take them seriously. What's up with these desparate "flakes"? (if they were allocated 30, then 30 would probably go out.) Thanks, but no thanks!!
It''s all about symbolism and if he's that into the OTHER women that often and sends his 2 roses out by the the 2nd of the month, why waste my time writing his sorry delusional a s s? I don't send them out for that reason--I like to keep all that guys guessing and happy!!!

Posted: 4/2/2009 9:33:02 PM | | I kind of feel two ways on this. One if they have no roses I think maybe they're too needy. They just want whoever comes along. On the other hand, they are just virtual roses for crying out loud. It's not like a ring. If you want to know their personality you can meet them or just talk to them. It's pretty easy to see when some one is a needy person. | |

Posted: 4/2/2009 9:59:09 PM | Umm its a freaking picture.  If someone sends me one of them, I say thanks and good luck in your search. But hey, if a picture of a rose is getting you laid, go for it.
They also have a steak. WTF is that about? Do people really stress over this sh*t? Reallly? What they really need is a picture of a walking wallet, ATM and coffee. Oh and they need to throw in the book "he's just not into you" and condoms, we can't forget the condoms for safe webcams. | |

Posted: 4/3/2009 7:16:48 AM | Roses? What roses???
Oh, those roses. If someone's going to judge me by whether or not I still have my roses is likely not someone I'd get along with. Don't people have anything better to do than analyze virtual gifts on a website?
Then again I'm not on Facebook or MySpace, either, so maybe I just don't get it. | |

Posted: 4/25/2009 1:46:51 PM | | I sent a message to someone that I later saw had no roses. She nitpicked everything and made it obvious she's taken. If anything her profile looked like a joke, because it was too good to be true. | |

Posted: 4/25/2009 4:47:29 PM | LOL! They are pretend presents, aren't they?! 
I like sending the little pretend things, they're just meant to brighten up someone's day, not meant to win them over or make them fall for me. They are pretend after all. I had no clue, until reading the last couple pages of this thread, that you only get a certain amount of pretend presents to send, and others can see and hold you accountable for whether you retain said pretend presents for yourself or give them away to someone else.  | |

Posted: 4/25/2009 10:14:08 PM | I've never sent nor received a rose. Woe is me! 
I really don't pay much attention to them. In any case, I'd say why not? What's the worst that could happen? No worse than what could happen to anyone you email, surely. | |
