was Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 I started dating a girl a few weeks ago. I haven't bought her any flowers yet. I was going to buy her a dozen pink roses when I went to see her two days ago. She mentioned in the past that she loves pink roses and I was keen to make it clear that I was listening. The problem is that seconds before I was about to walk into the shop I checked my phone and she had posted on facebook a photo of 12 pink roses that someone else had bought her. I panicked because I only had about half an hour to find something else, I eventually found some chocolate to give her, it wasn't ideal, I know the flowers mean a lot more to her. I don't think the flowers are from another guy, I imagine they are probably from a friend/co-worker and I intentionally haven't brought it up. I also have no plans of becoming some jealous guy that's paranoid about that sort of thing. I'm meeting her again in a few hours time, so I would really appreciate some quick advice. What I really want to know is what do I do now? This is a girl that likes to be spoiled a little and I haven't bought her any gifts in the past (just things like dinner etc.), I shouldn't have left it so long to buy her flowers. Should I buy her some flowers now for when we meet or should I wait for those ones to die? It was only two days ago. If I do buy her some more flowers, what type should I buy? Is it a bad idea since someone else has bought her her favorite ones? She does like pink things but the roses are what she likes the most. She is also someone I am dating, so roses are probably the most appropriate. I don't like the idea of buying her something less special. I'm meeting her in town rather than at her house so it would have to be some form of cut flowers that I could carry in my bag for the rest of the afternoon. Please let me know what you think I should do here, I really don't know what to do in these situations.
Snakechammah Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 Dude, if you're buying something for someone, it has to come from the heart, not a last-minute desperate attempt in a forum. Maybe buy her a gift another day and make sure it's something planned and not totally impromptu? What is the occasion by the way? Is it her birthday (and you forgot)?
TAV Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 Trump the pink roses with red ones! Red is for lovers. Or if you are not ready buy some of the rare blue roses, they are special enough. Or just a beautiful bouquet with pink roses mixed in them. That spells luxurious and girls love to be spoiled. And it is always good to let a girl know you were listening to her! You got that part right.
d0nnivain Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 I can't remember what they are called but the two toned roses with the pink tips are beautiful. Perhaps have the florist make you a mixed bouquet. Red roses should never be the 1st flower you give . . . work up to that level of declaration.
