Would you give flowers to your boyfriend?

[candycane]

My boyfriend is going through a tough time right now and I wanted to cheer him up with something sweet. He’s a guy who loves to be pampered, so I thought I’d get him a little gift. I know flowers aren’t your typical “guy gift,” but he’s mentioned before that he loves roses and I think it would be a nice gesture. But the thing is, I’m not sure if it’s weird to buy a guy flowers. I mean, would it look weird or too romantic? Guys, how would you feel if your girlfriend surprised you with flowers? And girls, have you ever done something like this for your boyfriend? If I did this, what kind of flowers would you recommend?

The only guys I know who would get flowers tend to be older -- uncles and such -- and usually as part of a special occasion or a recovery period, you know? The on exception I made in giving a guy flowers was to cheer up a friend whose partner had just left him. But the dynamics of our association were different... He was missing his boyfriend and had confided in me as the closest friend.

In your case, he's your boyfriend... the dynamics are a little different. You have to know if he'd appreciate getting flowers or if something else would be more appropriate based on your interactions with him. For example, my last boyfriend and I went through a challenge. To help get over the slump I got him a little custom-made token with an expression we commonly used engraved on it. While we're not together now, he still always carries it on him. It's a good way to remember the connection and the positive moments we shared.

Think of it this way... Just because you might appreciate flowers doesn't mean he will. Stop for a sec and think about the best moment you shared... and buy him a small thing that will remind him of that.

Good luck!

I bought him flowers before and I would do it again. He loved thought behind it. We are above the idea that flowers are only for women. Its the thought that counts. The gesture and the idea that you care and see him going through something.

You know your boyfriend better than we do, and there are a few men who would like flowers as a gift. But most men do not, myself included.

Personally - and this also won't apply to all men - I'd much rather have a meal or dessert or something like that. A few weeks ago, my girlfriend brought me home a big cupcake, and that was fantastic.

You probably wouldn't want a screwdriver set, or drill bits, or a UHD Blu-ray of Terminator 2, but most guys would, and most would prefer any of those over flowers, even if the flowers were 4 times the price. Most guys like practical gifts. As always, there are individual exceptions, so you have to know the guy, but since we don't know your boyfriend, generalizations are the best we can do.

I would get rose flowers for my girlfriend if she were going through a hard time, so do it especially since they are his favorite.

If you want to make it sweeter, write a lovely heartfelt message for him too, to show how much you care & support him through this.

I know it isn’t the typical guy gift, though when someone is going through hard times it is a nice reminder there are people out there that care about you.

Honestly, I get that you want to cheer him up, but giving flowers to your boyfriend just seems a bit over-the-top and unnecessary. It’s not really a “guy thing,” and he might even find it awkward or uncomfortable, especially if he’s not used to receiving flowers. Instead of flowers, maybe try something more practical or personal like his favorite treat or a small gesture that feels more aligned with his interests. A sweet note or spending time together could be just as meaningful, without the weirdness of flowers. Sometimes it’s the simple things that matter more than trying too hard.

[candycane]

You’re right, flowers might feel a bit out of place for him. I’ll think of something more personal and practical that suits him better.

Honestly, if your boyfriend loves being pampered and has mentioned liking roses, then why are you second-guessing it? But if you’re worried he might find it weird or too romantic, maybe flowers aren’t the best choice. There are plenty of other ways to cheer him up his favorite snacks, a handwritten note, or even just planning a fun date. Some guys appreciate flowers, but many don’t really know what to do with them. If you’re unsure, go with something more personal that he’ll actually use or enjoy. The thought matters more than the gift itself!

[candycane]

I’ll focus on something personal and meaningful that he’ll appreciate.

Flowers don’t have the same affect on most men the way it does for women. If someone got me flowers I’d say thanks, but I’d be thinking ok wtf lol I’d prefer something useful. If I was him I’d prefer a meal over flowers. During tough times a lot of people don’t eat, so that would probably be better to help the person try to eat.

[LiliTyaka]

If my boyfriend would like them i would gift him some but i would make Sure that he realy likes to get some flowers otherwise i would get something for him i know he loves to Cheer him up

[dustybiker2]

I would not. I get flowers for the home which are enjoyed but I'm far more creative for specific gifts for anyone. I pay attention to their likes and shape them to any given situation a gift is given.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

If I had one, absolutely! 💐 I'd also get a vase that can fit them, so he doesn't have to hassle with finding one. His place can smell nice & the flowers can make him feel happy.

I can see myself buying my partner flowers. He's a sentimental type and so far has kept everything I've ever given him. Maybe he's save a dried flower too.

[Smashingdoozy]

Hell yeah. Flowers are for everyone. Get him some flowers and a little gift basket of his favorite things

[Phoenix98]

If my girl got me flowers I would accept them I guess I'd get flowers when I'm alive instead of only at my funeral when I'm dead since that's the only time most men get them.

[Abbycado]

I’ve never done it, but if mine really liked them, I would. If he really likes roses, get him those.

[Unit1]

Yay. Flowers. At least not when i'm dead 🥹

[WhitneySnow]

That’s a great idea! It’s romantic, but romantic is good.

[missindiana93]

Well my husband is a manly man so I get him ammo. Lol

[FunnyButNotFunnyHaHa]

Like in a bouquet?

[RingOfFire]

I wouldn't give him flowers unless he's gay. I wouldn't want to receive them. Would be weird.

[debby]

Of course I will give it, I think flowers or any gift has no gender. This is a very nice and pleasant idea, you should definitely do it.

[candycane]

Thankss

[GlowUpGirly5]

You're 42 why do you have a boyfriend and not a husband? You're too old for this

[beefcakebradybatson]

I'd love it, though there aren't many "Golden Boys/Cowboys" who receive flowers.

[Godihateyou]

I don't want flowers. They are dead. Give me a living plant.

[Just_Right_Size]

Don't have it delivered to his work, and I think it is fine.

[D_Bone_Steak]

Ga ga ga ga gay.

[jahaims]

I don't know a single guy who would want flowers

[Jmmmfi4]

[itsannalee]

[boobliker]

[Connie88]
