Hey girls, do you like getting flowers?

Question

Do you ladies like getting flowers? Why or why not?

How would you react if your crush handed you a rose?

Bluemax · Accepted Answer

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.

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

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.

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 · Accepted Answer

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.

hanscuit · Answer

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 · Answer

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 · Answer

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

musicbrain5 · Answer

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

RaeBae · Answer

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 · Answer

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 · Answer

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 · Answer

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 · Answer

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 · Answer

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

dragonfly6516 · Answer

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 · Answer

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 · Answer

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 · Answer

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 · Answer

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.

Vinvei · Answer

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 · Answer

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

ArabianPwincess197 · Answer

A great person once said -Food feeds your body but flowers feed your soul Yes I love getting them

Snow-Wolf18 · Answer

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 · Answer

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.

amiha143 · Answer

well there are millions of flowers and they all mean different things and if you take time to choose one that means something. and put them together to actually mean something it could be really sweet

ButterflyXkisses · Answer

Flowers are cute because they're thoughtful, they smell great, and they're pretty to look at. But they're a waste of money. Unless they're potted and I can keep them alive, I probably won't want them all that much.

Florida_Gator_Girl · Answer

Yes I do love getting flowers and drying them out. I would rather just have the whole plant that way I can enjoy the flowers more than once. =)

ThatOneHipsterAna · Answer

Bring me a jar of nutella and all seasons of breaking bad on disk. And I'll immediately fall in love with you haha no flowers needed

Lovelifeforever · Answer

I would act really excited one day at school my BFF gave me a flowers from a boy and I found out that it was a fellow popular kid in my school so I found him and he was hot but I told him I was in a relationship with a boy

SandPlanet · Answer

It's a nice gesture under certain circumstances, but I personally don't need it.

Kris85 · Answer

I do. Not something to be overdone though, but once in awhile is nice.

Anonymous · Answer

it depends, where you give them to me and the occasion.. once this guy i hardly even talk to bought me a huge bouquet of roses at work and i appreciated it but he didn't even ask me out with them and everyone was staring at me and asking me questions it was sooooo awkward especially since i didn't even know him well.. but i actually think huge stuffed bears are cuter... if your going to be cliché

Aistra · Answer

Weirdly enough flowers always makes me think he is up to something, has done something wrong or is going to do something I wouldn't like. When I get flowers I just think wtf did he do? So flowers equal guilty conscience to me

AngelsFalling · Answer

I love getting flowers, though I hate the massive bouquets of flowers, seems too over done. A single rose would be sweet and cute. Though if your not already dating the girl then you should maybe get a pink rose or get a different kind of flower. (:

Mesonfielde · Answer

I don't really like giving flowers, they're temporary and serve no actual purpose of utility.

bang678 · Answer

Flowers are great. But if get them as a birthday or Christmas present it tells me "I didn't know what to get you, so I settled for this rather than think about something you really want/need."

but flowers for no reason are the best.

donut94 · Answer

I do, noone has ever given me flowers... not even my ex so yes would love some

sweetgirl23 · Answer

FaithHopeLove32 · Answer

I would be touched if someone (especially if he is someone I'm crushing on/dating/in a relationship with) gave me flowers... I have yet to experience this.

bunnyy · Answer

sure it means someone was thinking of you! One time I even gave my boyfriend a rose after he performed, he was really touched and he pressed it in a book to keep it forever.

Crafty · Answer

i would love getting flowers, but only from someone who is already my boyfriend. it would be weird if it's like one of my friends who has a crush on me.

SweedyPie · Answer

I haven't gotten any, but I would definitely swoon if I did since flowers are such a traditional , wonderful way of showing you thought of me today and is not regularly done nowadays :) So I chose A!

Ashely_Princess · Answer

Yes, I like getting roses because that'll show that he thought about it and think I'm special and that he cares about me :)

kittykatg · Answer

Personally I find flowers stupid because you pluck them and then they just die. I don't even want them at my wedding I think they are such a waste of money.
However if my fiance got me a bouquet of chocolate and candy, I'd fuck him so good.

xobrowneyedbeauty · Answer

I'd love flowers from someone I'm dating or involved with to some extent but I would think it's weird if any guy (even my crush) just casually handed me a rose.

CheeseLoveWhiz · Answer

No, simply because I have severe allergies. How would I react? I'd be flattered but, I'd probably start sneezing , unless they're sunflowers, which are low in pollen haha.

123123hahaha · Answer

Yes i do lyk getting flowers frm my boyfriend... specially a red rose... even when he proposed me he got three red roses for me... nd since then i have a collection of roses... i luv them...:) :D

Misunderstoodvirgo6 · Answer

LastGirlScout · Answer

I've been given flowers a few times, not expensive ones, and I just think it's a lovely thought. Although I'm not a particularly romantic or mushy person I enjoy any surprise gift from my loved one :)

NoMoreDreams · Answer

I'm indifferent, I don't love getting flowers but I don't hate it. It would be really nice if it was a potted plant that way I don't have to see it die in two weeks.

blondfrog · Answer

I am a guy and I would love if my crush gave me flowers I would love if my crush gave me anything positive as long as she doesn't give me something negative lol like a dirty mean look or something.

kstarholland · Answer

I'm not like picky on what a guy gets me. he can get me flowers if he wants too. it doesn't matter to me if I get some or not

Rapunzel2490 · Answer

I like flowers but not all the time. I want it to feel special when I get them. Once or twice a year would be perfect.

I like to, but maybe once a year, not too often. Also I hate roses so it's nice when he gets me my favorite flower, because then it's personal

I would prefer roses over regular flowers but I would be happy with either.
