He won't buy me flowers!
 

He doesn't like to buy flowers. What do you think?

"just forgotten"?

What's the occassion? Anniversary?

Does he do anything else to make up for the lack of flowers?

ie: sentual/erotic messages, writing you a note, calling you in the middle of the day for no reason etc.

Flowers are nice, but when a girl expects things just because its expected I think its a turnoff.

You should want to give a girl flowers not feel like you have to.

What's your address :Graucho

For all special occassions, you pre-program it into his palm pilot
ie "Its our anniversary, pick flowers up"

flowers are over rated and just die in a week.

Interesting responses.

No, he didn't forget any event or anniversary. He just doesn't do spontaneous things like that. It simply doesn't occur to him.

Once he bought me a vaccuum for my birthday, but that's another story.

I used to whine about all the things I never got until one day I realized they were irrelevant compared to the things he did for me.


But damn girl, a vaccum?

:1orglaugh

Well, if he's anything like me (and most guys)... then it's just one of those "silly girl things"

Us guys just expect that eventually you're going to just know that we love you, and not need to keep showing it to keep you aware of it.

Women need to keep being reassured, guys just want to have to tell you only once and not bring it up again.

It's kinda silly on both parts if you ask me, but that's generally how it tends to go (based on my observations).

because
you
are
ugly

(stop being brutally honest in my threads and i'll stop being brutally honest in yours)

Amen

You know, I almost laughed, but then I realized how sad you sounded. I guess the truth is not always as fluffy and entertaining as we would like it to be.

What kind of spontaneous things do you do for him?

ummmm i hate getting flowers personally......


if they really want to show a significant other and want to do something nice, then take the time to find out what interest them.

flowers are just meaning less. he should try getting u a book by one of your favorite writters or something.....

Excellent question. I buy him slurpees when I run to the store for milk. I make sure he has his Molly McButter. I vacuum and wash his car without being asked. I buy him clothes for his non-me photoshoots when I see interesting ones.

Ok, so nothing super romantic. But nice, all the same.

That's nice. :)

get your little ass on icq! :winkwink:

do you give him blowjobs while he drives? that should justify some flowers.

aww that is a nice gift. Its the type of gift that just keeps on giving all year round. Did it come with the extended warranty, an extra belt, and bag/or filters?

At first I thought you were whining that you didn't get flowers for a special occasion or as a "make-up" attempt. In both of those cases I don't expect flowers. When I do get flowers I prefer for them to NOT be real so I can enjoy them longer than a few days. :)

Then I read your response. I'm with you on this. Although I don't expect gifts for any occassion, spontaneous surprise gifts like that are always much more special than birthday or anniversary flowers. If more guys got this, I think there would be less children because that sperm would have been swallowed instead.... :2 cents:

hey you

how are ya?

Yes, in both standard and automatic transmission vehicles. :Graucho

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh
You freakin' rock! Amen, sister.

doesn he get you romantic gifts for your b'day, christmas, valentines day?

Excellent, thank you. So I'm not alone in this. It's not limited to flowers. It's anything, really, that would be a nice little surprising touch, like SmutGiant said earlier. Ah well, I'm stuck with him now. :winkwink:

No. Well, sometimes flowers, but the romance usually falls short. There was a huge kafuffle last birthday. He tried to fake me out into thinking he wasn't going to get the one thing I asked for,thinking it would be nice to surprise me. So I almost boughtit for myself!

I don't get flowers, either, but my husband does do other nice things for me, sometimes. I guess it all comes down to whether or not he does ANYTHING for you. If flowers (or lack thereof) are the only thing you have to worry about, you're better off than alot of women these days. :Graucho

Of course, *I* would buy you flowers. :winkwink:

Mine remembers the major days that requires flowers.

For a while (two years) every Friday he would bring home a nice bouquet then he stopped. Asked him why and his reply was that the ?hottie? quit and it wasn?t worth his time standing in line for five minutes watching an old man. I just laughed.

Wish that girl never quit?he told me there is no longer a line anymore, but if I wanted flowers every week just buy them. Takes all the fun at of it.

:)

No day REQUIRES flowers. Wait, I'm wrong... Your wedding and your funeral are the two days where flowers are needed.

I have bad allergies, so seldomly buy my wife flowers, but I occasionally have chocolates delivered to her or other special gifts

I used to surprise her with dinner, but she's a picky eater.

I've often rented a room, spa treatment and a dinner reservation in Mesquite and arranged for her parents to watch the kids.

Have you been blunt with him and told him how you felt? Maybe that will strike the spontanaity up a little. (It won't seem spontanious at first because you helped him get there, but it will lead to it)

i ll buy you flowers if you stop posting threads

its only flowers, get over it :winkwink:

(tell him to shell out a few more bucks for a 1 hour massage by some hot guy at a Day Spa instead of flowers that will die in a few days anyways :thumbsup )

hah I like the way you think, girl!

Yes, I've been blunt with him about it. No dice.

I am with you, Sweets! I enjoy recieving things for no reason... who doesn't?? However, I would much rather enjoy something that will last. Flowers only last a week or so.

all my mens on the web cams buy me flowers and candy.

I wish I had mens on my web cam :winkwink:

:)

kill her!

Elli, not to glote but my wife get's flowers for the diner table once a week and rose's once a month.

This is not a hard thing to do guys.:thumbsup

Maybe I stated it wrong. I would like to receive flowers instead of expensive gifts on my birthday, Valentines Day, the date we first met (since we always laugh about our wedding and don?t really celebrate our anniversary).

He knows I love fresh cut flowers so I receive flowers on almost every holiday that requires a gift.

Gifts are not mandatory they come from the heart. No one gave me flowers at our wedding and most people request donations to a charity in lieu of flowers when someone dies. So I guess ?giving flowers? is not required?

:)

I hate flowers as well especially roses ugly things!

But my man is not bad, one night I was out and came home to those tea candles all over the floor, lighting up the hall, the bathroom and livingroom, and he made out of our sons paper and crayons were love sayings and telling me places I had to go to find the next one, then in the bathroom there was a nice hot bubblebath with wine, strawberries and chocolate, then gave me a massage what a night that was!

I find 1 night like that wipes out all the stuff he forgot, cause it came from him just wanting to do it for me not having to di it for me!

What about this: You get flowers delivered to you, say a dozen long-stemmed roses, a nice card with them with something original and romantic written on it, and a nice vase to keep the roses in........... AND.... in the flowers you find a prepaid pass to a local beauty spa for the works: seaweed wrap, hot tub, massage, manicure/pedicure, hair, makeup, whatever you want.

How about that? Would that be spontaneous, thoughtful and romantic enough?


Because if it is...... that's the kind of thing I've been known to do for my lady.







Currently single. :Graucho

Awwww that is sooooo awesome. Go give him a hug for me :)

Wow. Now, he set the benchmark for what a MAN is. :thumbsup

That is very sweet and thoughtful, but I would not call that "romantic". Don't get me wrong, what you do is AWESOME and every girl I know would love that kind of attention. For me, however, romance is all about sharing the experience.

You don't think all that attention at the spa is all for nothing do you? Hell no.

No sense getting all dolled-up at the beauty spa unless....... I am taking you out on the town that night, right? A nice candlelit dinner, wine, dancing, hold hands, no tv, no cell phone yapping, complete attention on you, the full hot order.

Sorry, I thought that part would be assumed. :1orglaugh

it's the little things that count too. Mine sends me flowers once a month just as a surprise.

A lot of men just forget. My ex bf used to gice me a handfull of cash and told me to buy something for myself for my birthday. Now how strange is that!!!!!

I am so glad that the BF I have now, does nice little sweet thing for me and he makes me breakfirst if I worked late the might before :)
