Did you ever receive a flower while you were in jr. high or high school?

My schools always had carnations that they sold on valentine's day and what they called sweetest day. I always was quiet in school and I never received any flowers except once in high school I bought a red carnation from a guy that I had a crush on and I had it sent to myself. In college, I did receive one red rose from a secret admirer although I never did find out who it was from. Now that I am married, my husband buys me flowers from time to time. I enjoy them, but I wish they would not die. I put fake ones in the mother's day flower pots that my son makes me because I think his feelings would be hurt if he knew the flowers he planted me died, but they never seem to last long.

Wow you must have had quite a few admirers. I knew some guys that felt awkward if they got a flower. They said it was a macho thing that flowers were for girls. I told them that it is just a way for others to say that they care.

Yes my high school always had special days where the cheerleaders would sell carnations. I did receive quite a few during my senior year. Looking back now I recall how cute of a gesture it was to have received them from several guys.

Yes I did receive flowers from this guy and actually he was my sister's classmate. He was funny and nice and everything but I didn't like him. And on top of that I had a boyfriend then. Anyway he sent me flowers whenever he felt like it, I mean not on just valentine's day . He was a year senior than us and after graduating jr. high he moved school. He did come visit me once or twice after that.
