Would you be upset if your love told you Not to send her'him flowers?To me flowers symbolize either death or an insincere apology.Instead of seing them as a beautiful gift, I seee them as a sign something went wrong.so I'll tell my love not to send flowers , they will have a bad effect on the relationship. I guess I am not a romantic. would that really upset you?

That would not upset me. Although, I'm female and don't send my husband flowers. I had told my husband when we first met that I didn't like flowers. They just wither up and die anyway. So what's the point? If your going to give me something, then give me something that I can keep!
Since then I've changed my mind. An occasional rose (or dozen) makes my day. I have no idea exactly what changed. I guess it's not the flower per say, but that he thought of me while he was out

Call me paranoid but it is the thought ,"I better get her some flowers" is what I fear the most.What did he do that he thinks flowers will gloss over? I rather have him come home empty handed and just tell me.


myLot reputation of 76/100. menolly22 (161)   ranked 13,933 out of 19,211 in relationships  3 years ago

While I understand that, my next thought is, did something happen to you that would make you think that way? Like an unfaithful lover is the past? I think it's just the way some people have trained themselves to think of certain things, like flowers. I think you have something going when you say you would have a talk with the person you are going steady with 1st and let them know how you feel about it. To each their own!

Well I like to think of myself as a romantic but I have always thought flowers too cliche and I have never sent snyone flowers However if my girl tolad me not to send her flowers then I would have thought that had some significance and she didnt want anything to do with me again .Cant see anyother way that could be interpretted because from as long as I know flowers were supposed to be a gesture of love and if she doesnt want any from you then I would think she doesnt want my love,unless she hates flowers and that is something youw ould have known from the start


myLot reputation of 97/100. sarahruthbeth22 (15805)   ranked 21 out of 19,211 in relationships  3 years ago

Before anything gets serious I will tell my soon to be steady I don't Ever want flowers.They send the wrong message to me.If he needs to get me something,make it a small stuffed animal.I love them. They are better symbol of his feelings than flowers.Don't take it personally if your love doesn't want flowers.It isn't you ,it is the flowers.

Hi sarahruthbeth22, I have told my love not to bother with flowers, although I have sent him flowers before (guys rarely get them from girls so it was a nice surprise for him). I do love flowers but I would prefer something more permanent, maybe a plant that flowers but cut flowers from a florist will wilt and look wilted and unsightly, plus it is something my mom used to always say, "It's a waste of money, just give me the money instead" lol. A note, or email to tell me he's thinking of me is so much more to me. Just because you don't want flowers sent to you, doesn't mean you are not a romantic, maybe you are just romantic in other ways, (hockey tickets maybe?) The idea of romance is to do something that the other person finds special letting that person know that he knows who you are and what you like not just flowers as the good ole standby.


myLot reputation of 97/100. sarahruthbeth22 (15805)   ranked 21 out of 19,211 in relationships  3 years ago

A "good ole standby" Exactly. Hockey tickets? How did you know? The perfect gift would be a stuffed bear dressed in a hockey sweater holding tickets to see the Wings play my Caps!


myLot reputation of 90/100. linamachina (309)   ranked 11,488 out of 19,211 in relationships  3 years ago

Wild guess from your hockey discussions? I am a Flyers fan...so I know how you feel. I got tickets for a Flyers vs Bruins game about 5 years ago for a guy, for Valentines. He thought it was the coolest present ever (selfish aren't I? I really wanted to go!). He told everyone in Boston and all the guys at there thought that was a great present too. It works both ways.


myLot reputation of 97/100. sarahruthbeth22 (15805)   ranked 21 out of 19,211 in relationships  3 years ago

A Elyers fan?! Uh-oh. I'm a Caps fan. And My Wings swept you in the Final once. Can we still be friends?


myLot reputation of 97/100. sarahruthbeth22 (15805)   ranked 21 out of 19,211 in relationships  3 years ago

Oops. I meant Flyers Fan.I never said I could type, lol!


myLot reputation of 90/100. linamachina (309)   ranked 11,488 out of 19,211 in relationships  3 years ago

As long as you can type Flyers, you can make all other typos you want and the Flyers win the Stanley Cup, we will be fast friends for a long time! (smile)


myLot reputation of 90/100. linamachina (309)   ranked 11,488 out of 19,211 in relationships  3 years ago

Hi Sarahruthbeth22, your Caps are killing my Flyers right now and it made me think of you and flowers for the Flyer's grave site if they don't get out of this slump, especially since they fired Stevens. Score in 2nd period is 7-1, ouch...

Hi Sarah..no it wouldn't bother me any. My husband knows not to bring me flowers. I do love them and I have flower beds galore, but I can't stand cut flowers, I hate to see them die just so I can have them in a vase.

He got creative when our last son was born..he wanted to get me flowers and respect the way I feel..you should have seen the look on the nurses face when he brought me in a potted rose bush that needed to be planted..It's still in the top 5 romantic things he's ever done...and blooms like crazy every summer.


myLot reputation of 97/100. sarahruthbeth22 (15805)   ranked 21 out of 19,211 in relationships  3 years ago

Cool move.I like that.

i guess no, your lover would eventually understand that either way there are more things that he could give you like chocolates or even stuffed animals. Just be sure that if ever he mistakenly given you one, don't push the flowers away, accept them discreetly and tell him your views about "giving flowers"


myLot reputation of 97/100. sarahruthbeth22 (15805)   ranked 21 out of 19,211 in relationships  3 years ago

When we set up that first date or get together I would tell him Not to bring flowers!

hai,

if I were the guy, I guess I'm pretty upset if my lover didn't want me to send her flowers. perhaps a little explanation is suffice to clear things up, other than that...hmm I'm gonna be so--upset (big time) :(


myLot reputation of 97/100. sarahruthbeth22 (15805)   ranked 21 out of 19,211 in relationships  3 years ago

Would you still be upset if I told you I hate flowers Before our first date? My view is so different that I wouldn't keep it from any guy I date. I don't want to upset anybody.


myLot reputation of 66/100. syaryel (114)   ranked 4,739 out of 19,211 in relationships  3 years ago

well that's totally a different sorry, If she/you told me about this before we even go out for the 1st date, honestly, I'm cool with that...

why? different people will definitely have different view on things, so its best to be respectful..by the way, I'm not upset because she/you didn't received the flowers..its more to the rejection part, as if you didn't wanna accept my love (sounds pretty cheesy huh?)

:)


myLot reputation of 97/100. sarahruthbeth22 (15805)   ranked 21 out of 19,211 in relationships  3 years ago

I don't see any love linked to the flowers, ever. I feel love by the way a guy treats me. If I can feel it, then flowers are not necessary. If I can't , flowers won't make me feel it.


myLot reputation of 66/100. syaryel (114)   ranked 4,739 out of 19,211 in relationships  3 years ago

yup, I'm totally agree with you..hmm, actually I never give flowers to girls..

it's a bit old fashion don't u think?

I don't think flowers have all that much to do with romance other than as a symbol. And everyone has their own idea of what romance is. I wouldn't be upset. But someone else might be. To each their own. I think it is no big deal. Hopefully a person can respect a decision to or not to receive flowers.


myLot reputation of 97/100. sarahruthbeth22 (15805)   ranked 21 out of 19,211 in relationships  3 years ago

Knowing my luck The love of my life would love to send flowers.I will tell any guy I date not to send flowers. But if he Likes flowers,I'll send them to him,no problem.
