" You don't Send Me Flowers" and that is great.

LOL that's really odd sarah. flowers don't always mean sorry. ^__^;; they could also mean, get well soon. LOL i don't usually get flowers but i love it when i do. i love flowers and i love it more if it comes from the one i love. (i had to mention this because before, i got flowers from someone that i really didn't like, in fact i find the person disgusted, and so, no matter how the flowers looked great, i gave to my classmate. ^__^;;) and its just kinda sad that giving flowers is becoming out of trend. a lot of people already find it corny and cheesy and they rather give other gifts. *sigh* for me, it is still romantic to give and receive flowers. ^__^

I like to get flowers. My husband only buys them once in a great while and that fine with me. I dont need them all the time. I like when he comes home with a couple roses and says I Love You. I was thinking about you today and just wanted you to know I love you. Makes my heart melt. He always buys the color I love too.{trained him well LOL} I love orange colored roses and there hard to find here so when he finds some he gets them for me. I do get flowers from my boys for mothers day, easter, ect.. I guess I never think of flowers as an appoligy. If you did something wrong dont butter me up with flowers. Tell me and get it over with and face the conciquences. Heres a picture of some roses he got gor me in July.

It's a shame that you associate receiving flowers as a guilt trip your boyfriend may have. I have received flowers in the past and it was beautiful. My boyfriend did it for no reason other than he wanted to and it was great to get them. I've also sent flowers to a friend of mine because she started her own business. I did that because I wanted to and it was a way of acknowledging the occasion with something that can make a good day even better. Nothing wrong with practical gifts like your hockey tickets, I wouldn't say no to them either. But receiving and giving flowers is always welcome.

Your idea's really strange..In my opinion, flowers just mean something beautiful, in stand of love or good wishes.If I have to say sorry to somebody,I would apologize face to face.Then if she forgive me ,I may then buy some flowers to her...hehe

There is only one time I've ever gotten flowers for my husband. It was our first Valentine's together (as boyfriend and girlfriend) and he brought over a very pretty basket of flowers. I liked it, but it seemed kind of wasteful as the flowers were cut. Cut flowers don't last long and soon shrivel away. Plus I don't want to deal with all the pesticides that are used on flowers, so I would rather have none. I thanked my husband/then boyfriend for the flowers, but not to get me anymore, due to the pesticide thing. He understood and hasn't gotten any for me since. :P

Sorry, I don't agree with you. Sometimes men can just send you flowers without doing anything wrong:) As I found sometimes it's very frustrating for men to think out what's the best to give to their girl friends. And sending flowers won't be wrong. My husband will give me flowers in some special days. Flowers are not so important for me today, as I already married to him:) I prefer him to use this money to buy something useful:)

My husband hardly ever gives me flowers but I would love it if he did! When he does I always dry them before they wilt so that they can be kept forever! :) That way it is not a waste..... My husband does many things for me like stuffed animals, surprise lunches, surprise outings etc....The things he does that have us spending quality time together are the most enjoyable for me! ~Heavens~

I'm afraid I'd also assume he'd done something awful, since my husband has never been the type to bring me flowers. I think he's done it maybe three times in all our years together and we've been married for 38 years. I like flowers, I think they're beautiful and they smell wonderful but I think it's a shame to waste so much money on something that's only going to die in a few days! I'm with you, if he wants to get me something there are lots of things other than flowers that I'd prefer. Annie

I must agree with the hockey tickets!!! And luckily my DH knows this. He's more likely to surprise me with hockey tickets, show tickets, or take-out food. On the few occasions he has brought me flowers, I've thankfully never thought "hmmm... what did he do?" LOL

Some guys really do like to buy flowers for their girl and NOT just becuz they did something wrong but to show they love and appreciate them. My feeling about flowers is that they are quite expensive and they die pretty quickly. I do however feel good when my boyfriend occasionally for no reason picks me up some. I also would not feel bad if he never did. you are right. tickets to a hockey game or a concert with him would bring far more lasting memories.

Interesting thought. And with former relationships I tried to figure out what they really wanted in terms of gifts. In terms of flowers I don't see it the same way you do. Probably because I'm a growing botany nerd, but anyways, its a different picture over here. The language of flowers is pretty nice too as is taking a hand in flower arrangement.

wow,i think flowers are more romantic and significant than hockey tickets.it stands for love .it's tender.though simple ,it means a lot.

You know what I dont like flowers either but for a different reason, I dont like for my husband to give me things that will die in 3 days, I think if you give me a gift it should be memorable and if live should have a life time so cut flowers are definitely a no no.

I get flowers on my anniversery - a great big colorful bouquet..... And my better half always has "wedding flowers" included.... Dont sterotype the flower sender :)

I always like getting flowers. This discussion does remind me of a funny story that involves getting flowers. Here goes. My hubby spent money like crazy. I used to tease him and say he had some b!tch holed up somewhere. One day he came home from work, with a bouquet of flowers. The tag said "For the hell of it" then he wrote "To the only b!tch I will ever have holed up". I loved it, I never did tease him after that.

Oh no I love getting flowers from my husband. He knows I love all kinds of plants and flowers. He does this to put a smile on my face. Yes flowers eventually die so love them and enjoy them while they are here.LOL In the summertime I have a beautiful garden that I plant with all different colors of flowerss. Take time to smell the flowers!

i think that you are very paranoid, if a guy wants to give flowers AND he hasnt done anything wrong, whats so bad about that? my ex girlfriend, who i have a child with, used to say the same thing that, they had done something wrong. in the the end it was her that was cheating behind my back. so its a good job she never bought me any flowers eh?

That's very good that you know what you want. However, giving floers means he's attentive, good mannered, enven if he does not have too much money that day. I would become suspicious if a guy gave me something more practical when he just met me. I always appreciate when either men or women give me flowers on a certain occassions. Well, my female boss gives me flowers sometimes, on my birthday party or on a rewarding ceremony and I don't think she's mean.

Once again, it's good that you know what you want, still, receiving flowers will always make me happy and I know I don't owe anything in return for flowers.

For a guys perspective, we have just always been taught that flowers are one of the best things to get women (other than jewelry ha ha) I haven't ever really seen the point in giving something that is just going to die in a week or so. My fiancee she likes to get flowers but she likes daisies so it works out, I haven't been able to buy her any lately but I love when I get to surprise her with them. For me, when I give her the flowers it really is an expression of my love, not an 'apology.'
