ONe time, I send $200 worth of Roses and a $100 Planetarium to Dr. Amy Mainzer, and paid for them to be hand delivered to her desk at her work. I did it just to be nice to her, because she's like the most intelligent woman I've ever heard of, so I got mesmerized watching her describe physics and the quantum entanglement aspects of the Big Bang, and so forth.
Would you date or at least reply favorably to a total stranger who sent you $200 worth of roses and a $100 Planetarium display?

I still don't see why you ladies think I'm wrong for sending flowers to Dr. Mainzer, but whatever. Maybe you're just jealous of her... abilities. Anyway, i'm going to delete this thread once the board allows me to do so.
What Girls Said
That couldn't be any more creepy.
What makes it creepy? I did something nice and put a lot of thought and effort into planning it being delivered on the right day too.
I'm not a bad person. I have no criminal record and I don't evne smoke or drink alcohol. What makes me a "creep" to send a gift to a lady?
You two aren't making any sense.
It is way too much.
I’d be creeped out by it.
Why?
I'd like to debate her on the existence of primordial anti-matter, by the way.
I didn't do anything other than thank her for being good at science and wish her a good day/life.
She works on Planetary Science and the Big Bang Model at Jet Propulsion Laboratory where she's in charge of the entire facility. She has 'above top secret' clearance on some weapons technology too.
So you'd be creeped out by someone doing something nice for you? that makes no sense whatsoever.
Because it’s a romantic move. If you want to thank her, send her a complimentary letter focused on academics. Sending roses just sends the wrong message.
There's a saying, "aim for the stars so you land on the moon."
I had a crush on the woman at the time. It's hard to explain that, but i actually understand some of her work and can appreciate how intelligent that woman must be to work on that field every day.
Do you understand I was crushing on her so hard when she was making her great scientific breakthroughs, and with me intelligence in a woman makes it that much more appealing, and I literally worshiped the ground she walked upon? I would never hurt or offend that Dr. Amy Mainzer in my life.
Keep it professional. Flowers and unsolicited gifts are not the way to do that.
That's been several years ago, but should I apologize to her then? I had no idea someone might be offended by me doing that.
No, it’s a fait d’accomplis. Just let it go. But for future contact write a letter and keep it professional.
Re update, why did you bother coming here to ask the question if you didn't want honest replies?
lady, I don't understand how giving someone a one-time gift is "creepy". It's not like I was stalking her or something...
You didn't answer my question. Why did you bother asking the question if you didn't want honest replies? Sounds to me like you were just seeking validation.
I don't understand how Im expected to know a woman might be offended by that. I thought I was just sending her a nice one-time gift. I wasn't just seeking validation.
Your question: "Girls, Ladies, would you go for this then?" A couple of us gave you a candid reply; we gave you our reply, and explained why. Then you started arguing, trying to justify your actions. We get it now, you want only replies that tell you what you want to hear.
No, that's not the case. Thank you for correcting me. I'm sorry I'm so clueless about life. I don't get stuff like this at all. I've never heard of a woman being offended by roses, but thank you for letting me know I'm wrong.
