Hi everyone. Last week I really upset someone a lot, with a bit of a cruel joke. She wasn't my girlfriend or anything, so I'm not trying to "get her back", but I do want to see if I can settle the bad feelings that have been created. She hasn't spoken to me since, and might actually never do again.

 

Basically I caused there to exist a lot of sadness and anger in her, so I want to give her some opposite feelings now. I was considering having flowers sent, anonymously of course, to her each day at work this week. She probably wouldn't really think they're from me, since we weren't really that close and perhaps she isn't thinking about what I did much by now. But hopefully getting flowers at work would make her feel pretty special, right? I know you don't know her, but, if you got such a delivery wouldn't it just make your day?

 

Any opinions?

 

Thanks

 

p.s. her place of work is pretty relaxed, and her job isn't high-powered or anything, so it wouldn't be a disruption

From your message, I get the impression she is an acquaintance. Having flowers delivered to her anonymously for an entire week sounds a bit over the top to me. Not to mention that she'd be driving herself crazy trying to figure out who her new admirer is.

 

If the joke you made was so inapropiate that it would warrant her not talking to you ever again, I doubt all the flowers in the world would make any difference. Anyway, you could try sending her roses (one time) with a note saying something along the lines of "I'm sorry". Simple and to the point.

Yes, how about just apologizing.?

I agree with most of this. But not roses. I'd go for more of a friend flower - like Gerbera daisies or some spring flowers like daffodils. And not an entire week like you are asking - one time should be sufficient and definitely with a note saying "sorry" and that they're from you.
