What's up with flowers & girls?

Every gal,except florists perhaps, would agree that flowers are quite a waste of money.
And usually we wouldn't want our boyfriends to spend that kinda money on something that wouldn't last for more than a week.
And quite realistically, rocks are far better.
(Ditto! I'm referring to diamonds.)

I was reading the Oct'05 issue of Her World just now.

Think I should leave you with some stories written there.

"Knowing that she was down with flu, I went to her place to give her a single stalk of pink rose. But instead of giving it to her personally, I left it on the gate to surprise her when she opened the door. She loved it so much she put a picture of it on her blog to show to the world." - Vinson,26.

"Three or four years ago, I sent a dozen of red roses to my wife's office. She ahd told me specifically not to waste money on flowers during Valentine's Day, so I knew she wasn't expecting any. But when she received them, she was so delighted that she forgot to scold me for blowing all that money." - Adrian 35.

"My girlfriend was getting all stressed up over examinations so I wanted to do something to cheer her up and take her mind off her school work. Being based in Perth, I couldn't be around to comfort her in Singapore. So, I ordered a bouquet of sunflowers online, and had them delivered it to her house. She called me to tell me that it was the first time in that week she actually smiled." -Scott 25.

"It was a few months ago and we were celebrating her birthday at the MArriott. I prepared a hugh bouquet of red roses to propose to her. When she saw the flowers, she was so overwhelemed, she said yes, even before I could bring out the ring!" -Alex 27


The first question that popped to my mind is "Are these guys for real?"

The first conclusion that crossed my mind is "Flowers are still tools for romance."

And then I just thought that it is not really those flowers that do the act. Sure they are great tools.
But even great tools cant be used often so they simply become blunt.

I really think it is nothing but the technique, the simple yet sincere but really romantic act that gets it going on.

The first one was especially sweet, I felt.

Sigh...

What's up with flowers and girls?

I'd say..What's up with romance and girls?
