Among my male friends, most of them consider purchasing flowers to show love is cliche or commy or tacky. But most of my female friends would like to receive the suprised flowers. I am a little shy that I dont' want my bf to send me flowers in public, how about you? Do you like to receive flowers in public? What kind of flowers would you like to give or accept? Saying the daises, lilies, chrysanthemum, rose? If you are a man, would you send flowers just for making up for forgotton dinner dates, or just for apologizing for lipstick-stained shirt collors? Or Will you send the red red rose to her when the Valentine's Day comes? Share your comment here.

I don't have a girl now so i cannot say.If i had a girl i would buy the flowers that smell very good naturally and also has a beautiful color combination.When she sees the bunch of flowers she should be happy in one look and smell the fragrance of the beautiful flowers.I would love to give jasmine flowers as it has a good smell and it lifts up peoples mood.

Wow, you are so sweet, I can smell that the girl is waiting for you somewhere. Today It happened that I see a men hold a bunch of flowers waiting outside our company, but I have a strong feeling that the girl will not accept the flowers. Do you know why? The flowers are all in red rose with plain decorating. Not attractive from the appearance, nor any fragrance from the flowers. I think Jasmine would be a good choice. Happy mylotting.

Originally I told my husband when we met that I didn't like to receive flowers. I told him that they just wilt and die and then I fed them to my guinea pigs. Over the years I realized that I missed getting flowers and said something to him again. Needless to say he seemed exasperated and was like, would you make up your mind woman!! LOL I think every woman has her own preference for what flower she receives. Although a red rose is nice, I would prefer purple roses. They are my favorite. Now the trick would be to figure out what her favorite flower is without letting on that he wants to get her flowers! I think a surprise is better than knowing that you are getting them!

yup, that is the point there. I agree. I assumed that most of the girls love to receive the suprise more than the flowers. Life will be lit up by the flowers. Happy mylotting.

Why should men buy flowers? 1. A thing of beauty is a joy forever - so if the man wants the joy, he needs to invest on the beauty. 2. (Most) Girls love them 3. It's the easiest route to a girl's heart. 4. It's romantic 5. It shows that the man is caring and thoughtful (or very smart in figuring out what will please the girl) - no harm wither ways! 6. It makes the girl happy (and men want/need their girls happy) 7. It creates an atmosphere 8. It shows his taste 9. It is an indication of his willingness to spend money 10. It will surely win him a smile (to start with!) Having said all that, I admit I would be embarrased to get flowers from the man in my life -in public. But then, I am a very private person, and he knows that. So he won't be dumb enough to try that.

A lot of reason that girls love the flower, which gave a good reference to the guy here. LOL... I just always think that the girls did not speak what they think, just like me, I am shy that I would not like to be the spot light of the public, but I am still happy if he sends me.

It's a show of affection. It's a nice gesture. I think if you really love someone, flowers are a perfect way to show it. Does not have to be for a reason. Just do it 'because'.

I think flowers brighten any days and a affectionate men do not need to wait for special occasion or holidays to give their girlfriend a flower. A flower symbolizes different meaning regarding its kinds and colors. I like to receive roses or daisies because they symbolizes love and innocence. Thus, flowers could make any girls happy and giving flowers have effects on the moods as it inspires and bring happiness.

Commy or corny? It's amazing how the little things tend to impress people still. A simple gesture of appreciation can go a long way. No need to reinvent the wheel when flowers and cards are still valued symbols of affection.

Very seldom it seems that men will buy a woman flowers just to buy her flowers. Most of the time there is a reason behind their flower gift giving. Sometimes they are trying to impress a woman they have just met. other times, men give flowers as an apology for a fight or a forgotten important occasion. Men should give women flowers just because they love them. That's reason enough!

Well, that is the point. If a men sent flowers with kinda purpose, I am a little scared of it as you never know what you will return once you accept the flowers. LOL.

I never buy flower for my wife even in courtship until now. I don't even remember buying her chocolates before as a show of my affection to her. It is because, the first thing see said to me is that instead of flowers or chocolates, buy me gifts that has an everlasting and she can keep till the end of days. I used to buy her necklaces, bracelet, earings, etc. It didn't matter whats the price as long as it comes from me. Now, she had a special box especially made for all the gifts I had given to her. It it would be flowers, its now long gone. Hope women would do the same. Flowers are beautiful but also are expensive. The joy it brings to you is for only several days, not unlike those gifts I have given. And the best part of it is that they are all under $5.00 each item.

WOw, that is really a valued experience shared to the guys here, and the girls too. I will learn to keep the presents from my boyfriends if he sent me the presents that can be kept. But until now, I throw away all the memorized presents from ex, hope that the memory box I am keeping will can last eternally.

I received flowers at work once for Valentine's Day. It was a surprise. I have to admit it was a bit embarrassing because it drew a lot of attention. I am shy and quiet so I don't like to be the center of attention. My husband had sent me roses. I thought it was really sweet. He had never done anything like this before. He usually is predictable and has never surprised me before. Sometimes he buys me flowers to show me appreciation. He will get a bouquet with different flowers sometimes. I like variety for flowers. And color.

You are like me, hehe~~But still I want surprise in my life even though I orally advised my boy friend did not send me flowers to avoid embarrassing in public. I still remember my ex boy friends's promise that he would send me flowers treble along with every Valentine's Date. Therefore though I really like flowers, I dont' want anybody to send just in case arousing any memories.

I really have no interest in getting cut flowers on any occasion. If you are going to get me something give me a plant. I like to be able to grow and continue the life cycle of something far more than cutting it off to put in a vase. I can't even remember the last time I received flowers. My husband knows better than to send them to me. There are many other ways to show me the love on a whim them send me flowers. I like chocolate, plants and love poems. Poems are most likely my favorite because they are from the heart and created by my man. When he writes for me I know his emotion is there and that is why he felt compelled to write to me in the first place. That, to me, is love!

Funny but I would rather give cards and jewelries than give flowers. It's not that I'm not a romantic person, I just don't like giving flowers.

Only if your girlfriend loves, it works no matter cards, jewelries or flowers were sent. Happy mylotting.

I'm a man at first, and I and my girlfriend have gone together for 3 years. I gave sent a lot of gifts to her such as couple costume, shoes, knockoff rings, ingenious accessories, camera and so on. Sounds like no flowers in them, yes, you're right, I haven't sent her a bunch of flowers. I do think flowers aren't practical, just a transient feast for vision, then they start to decay and nothing left at the end. So men just want to show their affection for their girls, why not choose something practical? But I consider I will send her flowers next time, for she told me that she kinda envy the girls who received flowers from their boyfriends. You see, girls like to rival with each other, and I also don't want to have a breach of flower in my romance chain.

I told my current bf that I don't like flowers when he tried to inquiry. I gave hime the season that flowers are impractical just like your thought, but if in some day, he sent me a bunch of flowers, I am sure I will be very happy for that.

i'd rather not receive flowers in public but i'd love to in private hehe! my husband has never given me flowers when we were just dating and i've always told him i wish he would, LOL! the only time he gave me flowers was when he wasn't able to come home early and it's the first month of marriage! i was alone at our home while he was with his friends enjoying a party. he gave me a dozen red roses as a peace offering hehe! until now, i always tease him to give me flowers but still he won't. but that makes the only time really memorable, LOL!

I agree, if your husband rare sent you flowers, once he did, it will become a memorable moment at your life. But soemtimes it maybe a trick, lol. Sometimes when the guys did something wrong, they would like to send some presents to recover their quilty. Happy mylotting.
