Today I walked into a bona fide flower shop for the first time in....wow...at least 7 years, probably longer.
There were two men full of heavy sighs and arms full of flowers and teddy bears or balloons.
I heard one total - $99.85! That's two weeks of groceries!
Hear me out on this. My heart just melts when my romancer brings me a flower or two. I swoon, really. The thoughtfulness! The things is - flowers die. They die. A couple of flowers can perfectly convey the sentiment needed without the grand massacre of plant-life and money.
And let's talk about this giant teddy bear that could eat me while I sleep. Really? Is that necessary? What do you do with one of those things?
I stand by their balloon purchases. That helium's entertainment value is priceless.
Perhaps my practical mind has taken over after years of romantical interludinal disappointments. One of my long-term boyfriends was actually too embarrassed to ever bring me flowers because he says that a man purchasing flowers is a man in trouble. Touché.
Am I alone in the universe with my unique flower perspectives?

You're not alone, and they make me sneeze. How about tickets to a AAA baseball game? Now that's romantic.
I would WAY rather have a new book or dvd, that's love. I told Clayton I never want him wasting money on flowers. I know some girls love it, but it's never done anything for me.
How dare you...
just kidding. The flower industry was good for me, I hate them even more than I used to. :)
OKAY that sounds bad, I still love flowers, especially the amazing hyacinth that popped up in our backyard!!!
You can buy almost all types of flowers and floral items, namely, spring flowers, wreaths, sprays and sheaves, flower baskets and a range of similar gift items straight from home just by logging into http://www.squidoo.com/fleurdelisflorist.
I love flowers. Flowers convey a special kind of sentiment. I don't think you need to spend hundreds of dollars, but flowers represent life and love. And that's a hard thing to replicate.
I like flowers- a LOT. What would I most prefer though? Time- quality time with the man who may or may not buy me flowers. :)
I totally agree with you! Flowers...not generally a good idea! If you do do the whole flower thing...keep them alive...get a cheap flowering plant that I can water, or forgo the flower idea. I'm NEVER a stuffed animal person.
