If you’ve ever wondered why you, a manly-man, a man's man, should ever bother to learn about dainty and frilly things like flowers, here’s your answer...Women Love Them!  Back to Index

Beating the Competition
On the scale of romantic gestures guaranteed to score you points on the competition, flowers are pretty high up there. In fact, when compared to flowers, only jewelry rated higher. However, jewelry is best saved for after you've given her flowers.

Do You Have to Shell Out a Lot?
Here’s the big secret: NO!. If your flowers say "romance" and "taste," women don’t really care how little you spend.

Remember, it is your thinking of her that counts here. So if your thought is "You’re great," "I had a nice time," "I really like/love you," "I remembered your favorite flowers" or anything else your significant other wants to hear, showing her with flowers will have no relation to the, ..err, size of your bouquet.  Back to Index

Remember, You've Evoking a FEELING!!!
When giving first flowers arrangements, especialy modest ones, presentation has a lot to do with how well your flowers are received. Bring these feelings out on her with a big smile, a big kiss and a fistful of fresh stems hiding behind your back. Another big winner is office deliveries.

Even one flower can do the trick. In fact, a single, well-placed stem (...and it doesn’t have to be a rose) placed on her desk, on her computer keyboard, in her shower — wherever — can say "I love you" or even "I’m the one you want." Single blooms are also a personal way to cheer up that special someone when she's "down-in-the-dumps".

Tips on Single-Flower Gifts
To maximize on the single-flower gesture, it’s better to leave the bud where she will find it by herself rather than handing it to her yourself. The pleasant surprise here and the fact that she has to wait to say something about the gift makes for great effetc’besides, it gives her something new to talk about in the office.

Tips on Big Arrngements
Finally, there are some situations when spending more actually works against you. For example, the woman you’ve just met will think you’re a pushover for sending an outrageously large arrangement the day after a first date. She’s got to have some room to move around in that office or cubicle. Besides, if that mammoth arrangement is visible over the cubicle barrier wall, she’ll never hear the end of it from her boss or co-workers, and you’ll inadvertently be the cause of her embarrassment.   Back to Index
