question for the ladies (broads)... about V-day flowers

First of all... I want you to know that I HATE vday... and last year I was pissing on the idea of v-day... so I really don't believe i'm being caught up in this rubbish...

Now having said that....



How important are roses? Are roses a mandatory selection for v-day or can it be any flower? I was thinking of something else, because roses seem so common (okay and i'm majorly short with cash...) Also, what color would you get for someone you are just "seeing"... someone you aren't really seriously involved with?

Actually, come to think of it... should you even get this person anything?

Again, I really don't believe i'm considering doing anything for v-day...
 
I'm going to ignore the "broad" and "chick" comments and try to actually answer you.

If you're not in a relationship with this person, flowers depend on how much you actually care about her. If she's more than a casual acquaintance and someone you'd like to still see once in a while but not necessarily get engaged to, then I'd skip the roses and go with a nice arrangement of carnations. Red is for passion, pink for affection, white for purity/friendship - so how about a mix of pink and white? They're not that expensive and aren't as formal as roses.
 
better yet.. a single rose will also do it.. especially since you are juss seeing her and not even going out.. but yeah.. if ur thinking of her in a way more then friends.. its a good idea to get her at least something for V-day.. if you dont.. she might think you are confused about ur own feelings.
 
ewww...roses are boring, eventhough they might be considered a "classic" v day flower. For someone you are just seeing impress her with a bunch of iris' or an exotic flower that is in season in your part of the country. This way, it'll seem you thought about it more than if you just bought some roses. There are so many amazing flowers that you can find. Try a big bunch of sunflowers or tulips!

You wanna give a good gift ? edit your post to remove the word "Broads" from your subject line please..


That said, flowers are good, corny or not I've always been a sucker for the one rose treatment. Howver, any gift,however small is fine if it shows that the sender put some thought into pleasing me.



 
Don't worry. Hookers will like anything YOU give them.

There. Payback for the "Canada sucks" thread many moons ago.
 
A well grown rose, in an artful arrangement portrays a dignity, prestige and beauty that no other flower can achieve. Do not get caught up in doing something just because "roses have been done before". Breathing has been done before, and I never seem to get tired of that.

 
after giving an ex-gf roses for no reason, and not getting all that much of a response out of her from it...a wise man once told me

"If a woman doesn't appreciate when you give her flowers, she will never appreciate anything you'll ever do for her."
 
Howver, any gift,however small is fine if it shows that the sender put some thought into pleasing me.


I'll put some thought into pleasing you 😛
 
Why do you people buy flowers for veterans?🙂

Yes I know that was dumb but so is buying a dozen roses at a 400% mark-up. V-day has turned into a retailers holiday (much like XMAS). A little creativity goes a lot further than paying too much for flowers and buying a sappy card written by some paid Hallmark employee.


 
Heh...this guy actually used "broads" in a sentence! In this day and age!
Why don't you ask Vito, "Fingers" and Joey Numbers on the block there, tough guy? 😀

Seriously, how far along into this relationship with said er..."broad" are you? If it's like, the first date, don't get any roses...you don't wanna seem desperate...a random selection of moderately priced, pretty flowers will suffice. If it's a coupla dates in (4-7) somer roses could do the trick, with candy, a card, and a thoughtful gift.

If you've been together for a while, then the bouquet of roses is the deal. Combine with a REALLY thoughtful gift, and you are gonna be in GREAT with your lady. You can use what I did for my ex a yr or so ago...I went to a jeweler I knew with an old key, got it gilded and engraved with her name, and then got a gilded dog tag with a love message I wrote, calling said key "the key to my heart"...I coupled it with a song I wrote for her, and I got tears of joy from the girl...and other more X-rated results 😀

Try it!
 
xero940,


thats sweet... I am going to rip off your idea, but replace the sone with a poem.. I don't do songs.


I am now looking forward to some 'special treats' on vday

Damn right it's sweet...'cause that's what I am...any nice ATOT wimminfolk want a sweet guy kicked to the curb by an ungrateful cheating female? 🙁

The poem will work too....I just like music (rapping, singing or drumming-I do all three) better...
 
Yeah the song would be cool, its just not something Im good at.. Sorry to hear about getting booted by a cheating biyatch... that sucks, I know how it feels.
 
Well, I would suggest sending her flowers, along with a note that thanks her for being your broad, and don't forget to ask her sweetly to be your kitchen bitch, who lives only to bear your children. 😉

Ok, seriously though, roses are not a requirement. You can get plenty of beautiful arrangements besides them, and for much less money. One of the best flower arrangements I got was a bouquet from a grocery store. But it was special, because someone I cared about gave it to me, and in the end thats all that really matters. If it's someone you are not seriously involved with, then how about just a small box of candy, or a single flower? Just something that says hey, I remembered you, but nothing that screams marry me.
 
V-Day is so, so :disgust: , isn't it?

Well, so long as you want to do something, flowers of any variety are good. Roses are more serious flowers though - committment style. You know you don't want to do those, because 'broads' don't tend to commit very often. 🙂 Just any nice bouquet of flowers, not on sale for four dollars at Safeway, should be fine.
 
Eh...V-Day is alright if you got someone to spend it with...but my last posts in this thread tell a bit of a story why I'll just be neffing away here, adding to my conspiracy thread 🙁

Ehh...I guess someone will be happy if they use my idea, and ppl will be happy to read my thread...I think...

🙂

now,now, let's not be snobbish, I've received a few of those Safeway bouquets and found them charming... but then again they weren't presented by the kind of guy who would refer to women as "broads" so that might have had something to do with the overall appeal of the thing 😀

Sorry, didn't mean to sound snobbish. Just saying that effort counts for points in general, and taking the path of least resistance might not produce the highest possible impression. The fact that he wants to go out and do something for the gal (broad or no broad) = nice guy. 🙂 Most girls like flowers, roses or not.

[Edit] I should note that $4 bouquets can produce good results too. A friend of mine was kinda down last night so two other friends and I got her flowers from Alberstons. 🙂🙂🙂 So it's all about the message you want to send - thoughtfulness, effort, caring, love... the list goes on.
 
Heh, pretty awful thread, but I just thought I'd share -

Do you (guys and girls ;-) have any idea how much a dozen roses can cost on valentine's day? I think I actually paid about $85 once. The money didn't bother me at all, just the seasonal inflation struck me as insane. hehehe. But, I have to say, they were worth it, they were really nice looking flowers.

I really don't understand why so many guys hate the holiday though - it's a good "excuse" to do something romantic with your SO even if you're not that kind of guy... plus it's hard to screw up, because even if you're a total oaf and don't know what to do, just making a little effort and trying to do something nice should get you bonus points with your girl.
 
v-day is only good when u have a real g/f...it sux if u have no one and sux even more if u are just seeing someone...cause it causes all this conflict of what to do so u dont send the wrong message...boo
