well!! me and my b/f were havin a lil chat about romantic gestures (we have been together a month) and he was askin me if any of my ex'es have bought me flowers/ pressies and i said yes, one of them bought me flowers, champagne and cuddly toys but the others didnt- which i (think) is more normal for men in their early 20's!!

he said he has never bought a lass flowers and has never even wined and dined a lass unless u count pub meals hahah!! i personally like a few treats her and there and i love buyin a pressy for my man to spice things up and make them feel wanted but i also believe u can tell more from how someone is with you and the things they say mean a lot more!!

whadya think?

And thats why he is an ex.

Treat em (fairly) mean and keep em keen ;)


Hahaha jokes aside. No, I ain't ever bought flowers or champers for my lucky lady but I did buy her a load of big Finding Nemo teddies once to make her smile when she was a bit glum...Did the trick :thumbsup:

i dont mean it in a soppy way but i like buying maybe a top/ aftershave and i like/ wud like :hihi: to get perfume or a cd but NOT flowers i find it a bit cheesy!
as for romantic meals- well me and my mates were talkin about this a few weeks ago and i was glad to find im not the only one who finds the whole candles/ soppy music/ dim lighting thing SICKENINGLY embarrasing!! id rather have a night on the tiles with a man!! :)

Absolute no-no. My girlfriend thinks I am mad but I refuse to go out down town with my girlfriend because its not as good as with your mates. I find the going down town with your partners thing all a bit alien...Granted I would find an occasion like NYE or something like that hard to reject her constant moans but otherwise no, forget it.

First off, if you see someone trying it on with your partner, fuelled by a few drinks, you get a little ****** off, as your partner would. Then if you have a friend of the opposite sex you know and have a little chat to...you need to explain who it is and if you see an ex-partner or something what I like to call a 'clinger' then the situation can potentially spiral out of your own control.

Its not a situation I like, I can trust my girl to go out on her own...although I don't think that trust is reciprocated from her end!

Wow, I'm impressed, Ryan - you know your stuff! ;) :P

The occasional surprise gift is very thoughtful, I think, and is something nice for both people to do. But I think girls going shopping with their boyfriends every weekend, and expecting the bloke to pay for the outfit, is very dodgy territory. :nono:

Flowers - or any other romantic gesture - are very welcome, especially when your partner goes to the trouble of seeking out your favourite flowers. Simply buying flowers for no other reason than you might like them is a lovely gesture.

The most romantic gesture I can recall was when someone had a silver pendant made for me. It was of a symbol that was meaningful and special to no one else but me. He'd heard me talk about its significance to me, and the fact that I'd been trying for ages to trace something similar in various jewellery shops. I was stunned when he gave it to me.

Oh I think that's a lovely gesture, Hecate - you must have been beyond delighted.

That's what present-giving is all about - seeking just the right gift for the person you care about - something that's meaningful to them.

My favourite-ever present came from my husband on my birthday a few years ago. He had a painting created specially for me, with a design he knew was special to me, and painted in the bright, uplifting colours he knows I love. I really couldn't believe it when I opened the wrapping paper - I think I was absolutely speechless for a while! :)

It's the thoughtfulness that counts.

i buy flowers at least once a month, nothing special, but favourite flowers.althoug just bought a bunch of those birds of paradise,now they do look impressive.
i even buy them for my daughter on occasion,usually if shes been under the weather or studying hard for exams.

luckily my woman hates materialism and expects me to provide her only with things money can't buy ;)

Ok you have to treat em (women that is!) every now and again, but people who buy stuff like bears etc...I know many blokes who have done stuff like that, it's meaningless as usually a few months later they are either getting off with someone else, or have split up with their missus! Providing emotional support is more important surely?!

Well yes, but that doesn't have to preclude the notion of giving flowers, or other little spontaneous romantic gestures.

But surely thoughtfulness is a form of emotional support?

It's the thought behind a gift that should count, the care taken in choosing it, not the gift itself. (Or at least that's the way it should be)

Once i was in a really bad mood (time of the month) :rant: and my boyfriend came round with a giant gift bag that was called a "period pack" he had put in it.....chocolate (cos girlies crave it when they are on) the simpsons on dvd to watch and cheer me up, camomile tea and a hot water bottle (to easy the period pain) some ibuprofen, more chocolate, some flowers and lots of other little bits to get me through the dreaded week. It was so nice and cheered me up no end.

He always buys me flowers...which has now gone to pretty plants cos i kill flowers instantly! And one day when i was having a really bad day at work he bought me a necklace with a red heart on it that i love and wear to work when i know its going to be 'one of those days' to cheer me up!

erm yeh, which is why i dont discount buying stuff, but when a bloke either go's over the top and buys stuff every week,then surely alarm bells should start ringing with the woman? its like telling your woman that you love her too often, it kinda doesn't mean much...too much of a good thing?

Also, almost all of my girlfriends and now my wife hated being bought rubbish like bears with I LOVE YOU on them, maybe I dont attract the soppy dora's!?

A carefully-chosen, inexpensive present is far preferable, in my opinion, to any amount of flowers and chocolates and other generic-type gifts. To be honest, I've never really liked receiving flowers, because it says to me that the bloke couldn't be bothered to give some thought to what I, as an individual, would like. It kind of upsets me to get flowers, actually, because I know they'll die. :( ok, so I'm soppy....

I agree with you, Yer_Get_Meh, that if your partner is constantly showering you with gifts, it's maybe time to be a bit concerned, as they may be trying to buy your love in a rather unhealthy way.

I dont like flowers - they are quite environmentally unsound (most are flown hundreds of miles to get here) - so I get plants and chocolates and mostly anything else I have expressed a mild interest in thats not a waste of money. I'm a lucky bean but I do the same for him.

It is the 'thought' that counts. Though, if a man bought me flowers, I would be over the moon ! :D
Sorry, my secret's out. It isn't because that I want flowers, and he got them for me. It is precisely because it's such a cliche thing, but it's never been done to me before. I think I got my first bunch of flowers from a female friend for my 21st. The 2nd bunch was from my bro. (It doesn't count.)

I do agree that it is the sentiment. It's basically getting something u know that particular girl hold high regards for. Whether it is teddy bear, or whether it is flowers, or just a boiled sweet. (She might have never had a boiled sweet before.) The gesture may seem silly, but to the girl, it may be sentimental, and holds great values.

My ex got me a mug for Xmas. I was *so* over the moon ! :) It isn't because I don't have mugs, or because it was an expensive mug. It was because I had my eye on such mugs before, and never bought it for myself, yet he bought it. He doesn't even know I love such things. Cos we never talk of it, and neither do I have any... That just seems like fate.

Then again, he bought me the biccies from his hotel room before, and I was like...'wot' ? :P Maybe not so fateful. lol...

I don't think guys should be afraid of how flowers may seem to a girl. It's a guy's thinking... If u want to do something, then go do it. Don't think twice, and um or ah... Sincerity speaks volume, rather than typical stereotypes.

I havent been bought flowers by a bloke- but I always treat mrs ang when at all possible to little gifts now and then when I can.. I think it keeps things interesting and also I want her to know how much I appreciate her and love her to bits.

The last present I bought her was the apple shaped DKNY perfume from Crystal Peaks- it smells lovely on her :thumbsup:

Flowers, I usually get now and again- I reckon flowers should be sent on major occasions or now and again as they make a bigger impression when needed on bigger occasions.

No, of course you're not. It's bizarre that some blokes don't bother at all, when it could be something simple like a letter, a lovely shell picked up from the beach while on holiday, or a hand-picked flower.

I'd be surprised if some of the blokes who've posted on here could get a woman to stay with them for more than half an hour :hihi: .

My husband sometimes buys me flowers, but never when I am expecting them. This morning he bought me some croissants and brought them to me in bed with a vup of cofeee, far more palitable than flowers, yummy!

my late husband only bought me flowers once and that was when our first son was born as i had told him that i wanted some red roses bringing to the hospital after i had him and he did, the only trouble was that i could not have them as i was very ill after having my son my blood pressure had gone sky high and i had to be in a dark room sedated and i just saw a shadow of him holding these flowers, he had spent his last bit of money on them as at the time he was not working so did not have much money.

no but i don't see the point of them they attract bees that like to sting me then they die (both the bees and the flowers lol) I'd rather have chocolates

I love being spontainious, I probably get more of kick out of it than the person who receives it. But no-one has ever been disappointed I make sure of it. I also think it proves who much/often you think about someone.
It may be the thought that counts.
But people who buy (crap) use that as an excuse for not spending money.
Yes I have bought loads of flowers (spontainiously I add)
I dont need a reason (not just birthdays/christmas)

got to say, DW, your taste in jewellery is impeccable, babes; you have bought me some lovely presents; jewellery, particularly, which I have been totally thrilled with, but I've never had flowers,off you, yet! ;) X-X-X

and no, that isn't a hint, cos I've got to admit, I think that cut flowers are a rip-off, and I'd much rather see them growing in the garden etc, than dying-off, in a vase. (you know me, I'm MUCH more practical than that!)

There's clearly something wrong here! You said "Do me the pots" ~ as in wash the pots on your behalf... Now unless your other half also employs you as a pot washer, there is something wrong here! (Well, unless you eat off the crockery and he eats off paper plates... then fair do's...)

I buy my girlfriend flowers sometimes, maybe 5 times a year, any more times and she seems to think somethings wrong. I cook her food for her and even dry the pots! I don't wash i'm afraid, the marigolds just don't suit me.:)
