Al right, I understand what you mean. But is it really that uncommon for girls to give flowers? I can't think of ever seeing it, but I've had the impression that it is something that is more common these days, that both of a couple give flowers to each others.

I don't know. I think my mom sent my dad flowers once. Other than that, I've never seen it done.

So, I guess it's still not common.

I do not know of any women that have sent their men flowers or any men that would like to recieve them. If you want flowers, ask, because there is no way she'll be sending them otherwise. Men give women flowers...it doesn't usually work in the reverse.

I don't know any guys personally that would like flowers. The guys I've known that have received flowers appreciated the gesture, but felt like it was a strange thing for them to get. If I was going to get an unusual gift for a guy (something other than watches, cologne, or tools), I'd probably get a cactus plant too because the guys I know would think it was a cool gift to receive.

If you really want some flowers that much then here are some :

I would never think to give a guy flowers unless he told me that he liked to receive them.

I would be more likely to give a CD as a present.

Yes. If the guy likes flowers.

TBH, I don't know many men who enjoy getting flowers. So, she may just assume you don't like flowers. If you throw out a subtle hint, she should get the picture.

Well, I guess if you like them

I like flowers. But in all the relationships I've had, I've been the only one that have been giving them, so usually I've gotten tired of it after a while, cause I don't think it is fair that only I should give flowers to girls and they never give any back. What do you think, am I excepting too much? Should I just accept that the normal thing is that girls get flowers and never give any back, or do you think that also girls should give flowers?

People aren't psychic. You should never assume that anyone else knows what you are thinking, your desires, and how you are feeling. If you want flowers, you have to tell the person "I really like receiving flowers". Yes it is nice if the person does this without you asking, but you certainly shouldn't expect that someone knows what you like.

This isn't a gender issue- it is an issue of them not knowing what you like. If a lady isn't receiving flowers from her man, she shouldn't assume that he knows that she wants them. Communication makes any relationship go much smoother.

my boyfriend is big on gardening so he actually likes getting flowers or other plants for his garden, its a guaranteed hit if i give him flowers lol

To be honest, I wouldn't know what to do if I was given flowers.

Admit it: You would like it.

Hmmm... If it was Claire Hooper (she's an Australian comedian- click if you want to see what she looks like ) giving them to me, then definitely.

If my boyfriend showed an interest in flowers and plants, I would probably gift him with a nice plant or flowers some time. If he didn't ever give me an indication that he loved that kind of thing, I would assume that he would be puzzled by such a gift and probably not know how to take it. I am pretty sure that if I took my boyfriend flowers or even a plant, he would try to receive it nicely, but would wonder why the heck I chose that as a present and probably look at me funny.

I do see the point you are trying to make, Bellicus. Girls should take an effort to make romantic gestures to their boyfriends. But most would not consider giving them flowers as a gesture that would be received with great delight.

well they probably dont think u want flowers. A lot of guys dont like getting flowers. And personally, im not much of a flower guy. I'd rather have her help me out with yard work (that way we can chat and i get stuff done faster at the same time) or simply find something that i want to do moreso, and so she sacrifices and does it with me even though she may not want to have done it, like take a walk down the sidewalk and talk or something.

Anyway, if u tell the girl u like getting flowers, she'll probably get u some eventually, heh.
