    Well, aren't you just a ray of sunshine on this made-me-smile thread! :roll:

    Sorry about your experience, man, but it might have happened even without the gifts. I still think flowers are one of those inexpensive day-brighteners that most people enjoy. :D

    I know, my point was my gf might have her day brightened anyway, whether or not I bring her flowers ;) If I'm not enough to do it, then I don't think flowers are going to fix that :)

    I see you are modest too! :P :lol:

    Whatever works for you. I can't recall my husband ever bringing me flowers when we were dating and only a few times since we were married. Yet we've been married for 30 years.

    We both like fresh flowers though and I have a big flower garden. We enjoy having cut flowers in the house or taking them to friends. They are a simple pleasure.

    I'm sure with an attitude like that you'd brighten anyone's day. :roll: ;)

    Yeah, I'll have to admit, I'm a sucker for guys who buy women flowers... especially tulips! You certainly would have caught my eye had I been at that grocery store today! :)
    I always thought I didn't like flowers until I got some... first time was a bunch of yellow tulips and second was a bunch of yellow roses... GORGEOUS.

    You know what would really make me swoon? A guy who, when choosing flowers for me, made sure to buy ones that wouldn't be poisonous to my cats. That's the kind of thoughtfulness that could steal my heart forever. :oops: :o

    We've been married 30 years too and I agree. It's not something we buy for each other, but for both of us. Just enjoy having them in the house. I can't think of anyone who doesn't like flowers. :)

    I love flowers. Who doesn't love flowers? I send my mom flowers every mother's day...and I have friends who send me some every year on my birthday. And I totally buy my own every chance I get during summer at the farmers market...they just brighten up my room and my day.

    Today I had to pick up a few things at my favorite grocery store Sendik's. It's like Whole Foods but a little cheaper and alot closer. So on my way out I picked up some red and white tulips for someone I will be seeing later tonight. :) Wow did I get the looks from all the woman that saw me put them in my cart. I smiled and made my way to the check out. This is during the day so its not too busy at the check out. Well all the check out girls see the flowers and are making comments to me on how nice they look and asking me who they are for. Needless to say it was a fun day at the grocery store. :D And the moral of the story is woman sure do love flowers, even when they are not for them. lol :)

    Brother... you want looks? I went to the Costco (because the Costco flowers last a real long time)... a bundle of Iris'. The looks might have had something to do with the flowers and the Costco sized box of condoms on the check-out counter. The cashier was a guy... didn't say anything... the gal doing the boxing wished me good luck.

    Really, any roses that still have a good scent are a fine choice. The modern hybrids that have lost their smell aren't worth much!! :?

    I was going to try to bury them in a bunch of other stuff... like cat food, shampoo, a CD or DVD, kitty litter, laundry detergent and stuff. But, she called and asked why I wasn't answering my front door (I missed her text message saying she was leaving her place and spent too much time in the Home Depot). The only things I had in hand were the flowers and condoms.
    And you know Costco.. you have to buy everything in mass quantities.

    It's mainly funny because the girl wished you luck. The guy already knew you were doin' alright. ;)

    Flowers are nice, but flowers and a poem are where it's at. May I recommend:

    Roses are Red
    Violets are Blue
    I spend a crapload on flowers
    So you owe me a blowjob.
    I smile, but who am I kidding...
