This is a tough question for a lot of guys. Now, in the context of just giving flowers to people for sympathy for the loss of a loved one or bringing flowers to someone in the hospital most guys have no problem figuring that part out. The part that gets sticky is when it comes to giving flowers to a woman in their life that they are dating or even when they are married.
Guys let me give you a clue for those of you who havent learned it yet. The simple act of giving flowers is the cheapest and surest way to show your affection and get a positive response from the one you are giving them to than anything else I know of.
The business philosopher, Jim Rohn once told a story about how he was on a business trip with his wife and they were walking on the street taking in some shops when he saw a person selling roses. He bought a single red rose for his wife for two dollars which she carried around with her the rest of the day. She was so ecstatic that he had bought her a rose and people commented about it all day saying things like, you must be special and he is quite a guy. Later that evening when they got back to their hotel room the night ended just as well as the day had went, and as Jim said, for two dollars. How can you go wrong?
I have personally seen the power of giving flowers in my own relationships. As guys we dont think anything of it but women think it is the most romantic thing in the world. It doesnt have to be anything elaborate; you can start with a single red rose like Jim did. As cheap as you can get roses though, I would certainly buy a dozen for anyone who was really special to me.
If you really want to earn the brownie points and reap the benefit of all the comments and accolades given to your lady, send her flowers at work. Very few women get flowers at work and the ones that dont get them will make a huge fuss over them. Another big hint is this; dont wait for a special occasion. Anyone can be expected to give flowers on a special occasion. Think of how it will make her feel when they ask, Why did you get flowers, is it your birthday or anniversary or something? and she replies, Just because he loves me. |
