To the ladies

Question, I was wondering is the idea of surprising someone with flowers to old fashion? I know this person I would like to send some flowers to, mainly just to be nice and cheer them up, but also so a bit of interest. "testing the waters" if you will. So what do you all think? No roses or anything like that...

Do you know if she likes flowers? It really depends on the girl. Some of my girlfriends hate flowers, some love getting flowers, some are allergic...but almost all think roses are over rated. I would go with a summer splash of something simple if you send them.

I was thinkin daisies...never go wrong with them

Yes, yes, yes! Have them delivered. But after you make her fall in love with you start hand delivering them

not a lass, but guy to guy, roses are not generally considered as a testing the waters presentation ... if relationships were swimming, roses are more like diving in head first ... not a good idea on the shallow end or where the water's a tad less than clear.

Excluding allergic conditions, I've never known a lass of any age who did not enjoy pretty flowers, but roses just really are not a great first flowers selection.

Send them to her place of work, and only on Monday or Tuesday. No roses. It doesn't even matter what the flower is, as long as it's not roses. Just walk into a flower shop and tell them you want something that's around $30 and will last for several days. Know this: It will actually cost you $50-$60 by the time you leave. They'll whip up a vase with some pretties for you on the spot.

The several days thing is because you need to make sure that the gift will do it's OTHER job. And that would be...A show for her coworkers to observe and admire and see how good she has it. Which is why you send them early in the week...So they can sit on her desk, fully bloomed for several days of ooohs and aaaaahs.


uuuuuunless you have zero romantic interest in this woman. In which case send something like lilies to her home.

Great advice.... spot on.

I'd love to get flowers. Great advice to send them to work if you want to impress romantically, if not send them to her house.

well then its settled. Monday morning she will be recieving some purdy lil flowers to brighten her monday, hopefully. Thanks for the help ladies.

Ladies:

1) Open the box
2) Assume it's an earthworm
3) Chop it's head off

That has to be one of the funniest SNL skits in a very long time!!! But I won't be sending her that. funny though

gerber dasies bright colors they are the happy flower that just makes a person smile and feel good plus they last a long time

Looks like I'm really too late to respond, but here are my .02 cents for what they're worth:

I've always appreciated receiving a lovely mixed bouquet on any random day than a dozen roses for one of the "expected" holidays. To me, it speaks to the idea that my man is thinking of me, and not doing what Hallmark and others say he should do.

Looks like Oh Gawd really hit the nail on the head. Smart man, that OGTS!!!

well tomorrow is the day... so we shall see.
