Flowers for Him?
| Sat, 04-15-2006 - 3:37pm |
Hi All,
I really want to send some flowers to a guy I really like, on his birthday.
How might he react? Do guys like getting flowers? What kinda arrangement is best to send?
Also, it's a weekday, and he will be at work. Is it best to send at work, or at home?
What would your choice be.
Really appreciate your help in this matter....thanks!!

I've actually had a pretty in-depth conversation about this issue with my co-workers. The answer, I believe, is that some would like it, but most would not. And that of those who would like it, they would not like the flowers delievered to work. (Because it emasculates them in front of others). But again, some guys wouldn't mind. What is this guy like?
If you want to send foliage, what about sending a potted plant to his home instead?
From what I've been told, guys definitely do NOT like getting flowers at work or at all really!
Hm.....
Well, I really don't know if he will mind it or not. I am in a fix. He is a quiet-ish guy who does care about what others think, or people around him. He does have a soft side, and a practical side too, but I am sure he doesn't want to be embarrassed. But again, perhaps receiving flowers at his workplace might also make him look *good* in front of his colleugues, instead of colleugues thinking less of him?
I found an arrangement of a wooden, rectangular flat base, with three flowers and a bit of greens, very artfully arranged...very modern looking. This, I feel, is better than the traditional bouquet type in a glass vase? What do you think.
Thanks for discussing this with me.
I have sent flowers and potted plants to boyfriends before. They have always appreciated them and I've never heard anything to the contrary.
I feel if it's something that you want to do for him than you should do it. Most people appreciate it, most adults can withstand some ribbing from their friends, guys who do the ribbing are just jealous they didn't get anything from their girlfriends and are just immature. I think it's a nice gesture.
Maybe we need to evolve and stop putting "flowers" in the "emasculates" men category grow up a little.
