Hey girls, do you like getting flowers?

[SuperNurse42]

Do you ladies like getting flowers? Why or why not?

How would you react if your crush handed you a rose?

Yes!

Not really

Don't care

Corny, just don't

My wife LOVED flowers, especially arranging them. She would often have me pull over into the flower shop just so she could buy flowers. She bought them at least once a week.

I gave her flowers as gifts at random times, but never as some form of an apology. I always gave her a single rose. I don't know why, but we both thought the single rose was a greater gesture than a bouquet. I think that women particularly dislike receiving flowers when it's some kind of apology with no intention of changing behavior behind it. For those women who like flowers, I think it's better to receive them as a romantic gift for no other reason than to say, "You're special to me. I hope you like these beautiful flowers."
I think receiving flowers from a guy who likes the girl but she doesn't return his feelings is often uncomfortable.

[Bluemax]

Oh, I forgot to mention. A student of mine used to bring me flowers from time to time. I thought she was sweet, but I had to ask her to stop doing it when I found that she was picking them from a yard across the street from my school.

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

That's the most greatest acts of kindness any guy can do for a girl/ woman
i find it very romantic, loving etc.

[OrionRose]

I my crush handed me a rose, I would be elated! My dad still buys my mom flowers after all these years. My brother also brings my mom and me flowers just to be sweet. I think when the men in your life brings you flowers it's really a lovely gesture. It brightens the day. And they can be wild flowers. My ex would go for a walk and bring my back wild sunflowers with lavender sprigs he found while walking. It was super sweet for him to do something so simple just to let me know he was thinking of me when we're apart.

[Chronos91]

I'd be flattered, but not more than for any other gift. However, I'd wince for the flowers too, because they'd wilt. And feel some concern for his wallet, if it were a bouquet. Flowers can be damn expensive.

More importantly, I'd wonder if he likes flowers. I'm happier giving them than receiving them. Although I'm an amateur at flower-arranging, I'd like to construct a bouquet for a lover someday. An elaborate, heartfelt love letter in the language of flowers.

[SheWhoShallNotBnamed]

I always thought it was corny for guys to give flowers, and didn't think I would be super happy like other women act when they get them, till I actually got some from a guy a really liked. He definitely changed my mind and now I love getting flowers.

[SuperNurse42]

Awesome (:

[harakiri]

:o i would love that... i have a soft spot for plumerias though :3

[DontDropIt]

Now this down vote I don't understand
What the... lmao

[SweedyPie]

I thouht those were called frangipanis?

[harakiri]

@SweedyPie that's the common name, same flower :)

[SweedyPie]

Ohhh thanks for clearig that up! Did not realize before ^_^ Have you seen the blue/ green ones? AMAZING! indulgy.ccio.co/.../86272149081345369t5UYSVWNc.jpg

[harakiri]

@SweedyPie omg... those are GORGEOUS... i want to see those in person... :p

[SweedyPie]

Ikr!! I have been searching for this pic for so long and never getting it when I typed "blue frangipanis" now when I searched for blue plumerias I found it in a heartbeat lol. But isn't this a tropical flower though? Does it grow in the US?

[harakiri]

@SweedyPie lmao! glad you found them :) i have seen them in the US quite a bit... not all year around though. they might be shipped in and fare reasonably well for a short while.

[hanscuit]

Im a girly girl as some say but im also into video games, i love shootemups i love violent games, action movies, i hate chick flicks I just hate makeup and while flowers can be nice outside I dont need my own pair. I would actually like if a guy brought me a $10-20 used action game from gamestop tbh lol. But Im still straight im not gay i just think flowers are too.. I don't know i just dont like them lol. they should be left alone outside not inside.

[juanitarob]

i actually don't really like flowers that much but what i like is the gesture, and for that reason i would appreciate a man who does give me then. i mean don't get me wrong, some flowers are beautiful, but i like the fact that he took the time to get them and think about me to do so more than the actual flowers.

[sammy_31]

Yes but a guy can't bring me some that have too much pollen, my allergies will ruin the whole experience :L lol

[SuperNurse42]

I've never thought of that possibility lol.

[sammy_31]

Haha always ask randomly if you want to surprise her and see which flowers fit her best.

[musicbrain5]

I love that, actually! I just hope they won't trigger my allergies, that could be really embarrassing 😳

[musicbrain5]

I wish I got them a lot more often and for no reason at all, honestly. Oh well :(

[SuperNurse42]

Awww haha. You sound like a girl I dated. She always loved getting flowers, but I probably should have gave them more often than what I did.

[musicbrain5]

You can't really go wrong with giving flowers. They're a nice simple gesture. I wish my fiance gave them to me more often, but he's a great guy anyways so it's a minor complaint, haha. 💐💐

[COCOCHANEL]

allergies suck :(

[musicbrain5]

@COCOCHANEL: Yeah they do! They can really dampen an otherwise sweet romantic moment :(

[RaeBae]

I'm not all for flowers but to be handed a single rose on Valentine's day would be so sweet!!! Plus I'd rather have a rose than a box of chocolates. Yet, I'd rather have a teddy bear than a rose lol
🌹🐻💌💋💍🍫

[bitandbobs]

Personally, the idea of getting flowers to me has always been pointless. Like, you're just plucking some living plants so they can die slowly in a vase for a few days.
However, I actually think that if my boyfriend decided to randomly present me with flowers as a romantic gesture I'd be surprised and actually rather happy about it. It's thoughtful, and I'd just like that. It's less about the flowers, really.

[CherryBombshell]

I voted other. I mean, it's a sweet gesture and all, definitely something that isn't as common as it use to be, but I'd prefer something with more meaning. Anyone can buy a girl flowers, just like how anyone can buy a girl a ring. It's overdone. If I wanted something from my crush, it'd be a card or a note, or since it's me, id want something I could use.

[matrix124]

I think it's really nice & romantic, & it would show me the guy is a little old fashioned, which is good in my opinion. I actually have desires to give men flowers, I'll probably give my future S. O. flower arrangement that I've made out of fresh fruit. I might drizzle some chocolate on the strawberries in the arrangement.

[Hannah591]

I like it but I'm a practical person; I like things to last if you pay for something so I feel it's pointless getting them but then again, if they bought me things that could last forever, my room would be a junk yard. But yeah, it's nice because I know they've thought about me. :)

[findingdreamland]

Of course I like! AHHHH
Especially daisy. I like how they are innocent and so pretty :)

I don't see a point in something that will take a room on my counter for a max of 2 weeks before turning into something ugly that drops bits and makes a mess. Waste of money in my opinion. You could spend the same amount of money and buy the ingredients to make a home cooked meal, or some scented candles and flavored oils for a nice massage. I may feel inclined to return the gesture after something like that ;)

[DancingWithDragons]

Hate it. Hate how people feel the need to possess beauty and hand it off as a token of their interest/appreciation. Especially considering how they're giving me something beautiful and alive for me to slowly watch it die and turn to dust. Seems more depressing and like a horrible metaphor for the inevitable end of "us" than anything else.

[justbanANNAz]

i LOVEEEEEEE getting flowers.
never gotten them from anyone tho hehe. its ok, maybe one day :)

roses r bloody fantastic. i think id b a little overwhelmed.

[Izzex3]

I don't care for receiving flowers mostly because I'm terrified that bugs could be on/in it.
I'd rather the flowers be out with their little flower family safe and happy,
Especially since I suck at taking care of them..
I'd feel really sad if they died

[Anonymous]

I would love it if someone I liked gave me a flower or flowers, of course I would.
I've never gotten flowers from anyone before... I think it'd be nice.

[gillf3]

but even if a random guy gives you flowers, it still good. no? It shows that this guy's feelings for you are as deep as the ocean if he's going out of his way to give flowers to a girl he has never talked to. What do you think?

[Grosayfious255]

@ gillf3 not really. If it's a random guy then his feelings can't be that deep. I'd give flowers to random girls. Wouldn't mean anything. The closest I've ever went was give out flowers to classmates, not sure how close that is to 'random'.

[Opinion Owner]

@gillf3
I agree with @Grosayfious255. Flowers from a random person, I would think of it as a sweet gesture, but it wouldn't *mean* much because I don't know them and they don't know me. So I'd be happy and grateful, but not take it to mean as much as if someone I knew and cared for gave them to me.

[gillf3]

okay well no one, i mean there's only like 0.1% chance that a "random guy" would ever do that. guys dont waste their time on girls who they know aren't gonna give a shit about their sweet gestures like giving her flowers - If the girl freaks out n runs away, it would just be so awkward and embarassing. A guy would give flowers to a girl who he knows and have feelings for. So if you see some random guy doing that, he probably picked it off the street, didn't want to just dump it , so he gives it to someone. and @Grosayfious255 , you're right about whatever you said. But i didn't mean literally a random guy, the guy has to know the girl somehow and it also depends on how he does it. If its just plain, "here, i got flowers for you".. - dont take it seriously. He's just being nice. But watch out for what he says after giving the flowers. That should tell you exactly whats going through his mind.

[Bluemax]

"I've never gotten flowers from anyone before"
That's somewhat difficult to believe.

Here's a flower @---

[Opinion Owner]

@Bluemax You!! You are way too kind to me, Blue! Thank you :-) :-)

[Vinvei]

Flowers show that you care, I guess. They're a nice thing to get. Just the thought of getting a present is nice. The flowers don't matter too much, it's more the thought. At least for me it is.

[SnowHearth]

If you bring some roses with a jar of honey, I'd accept them.

[SuperNurse42]

Why the honey? lol

[SnowHearth]

If you read some of my opinions given in other questions you'll find that my favourite ice cream flavour is: roses with honey; that is why I ask for the jar, to eat the gift.

[SuperNurse42]

I had no idea you could even do that. I'll have to try it out.

[ArabianPwincess197]

A great person once said -Food feeds your body but flowers feed your soul

Yes I love getting them

[blondfrog]

Who wast that person?

[ArabianPwincess197]

@blondfrog- Prophet Muhammad SalALLAHU Alayhi Wasalam

[Snow-Wolf18]

I love getting flowers. I'll just stare at them and be like "OMG, they're for me and they're so pretty!" Lol. I've only received flowers once so far and that was my reaction. :)

[Blacklighthoney]

I love all gestures of caring especially in the form of a flower. Flowers are beautiful and give off this lovely scented aroma and think it speaks to the beauty of the giver and the receiver.
