Ever Gave/Received Flowers Within a Relationship?

Contributor: Incendiaire Incendiaire
Other than a single red rose on a special occasion, I'd feel strange giving or receiving flowers.

I'm 26 and I've done both. Though honestly I've received more than I've given because my guy thinks getting flowers is "for girls".

Have I ever received flowers? Yes, but not from my current guy (of almost 9 years).

My ex used to give me bouquets of flowers all the time, mostly to tick me off though (we were broke).

Sigel would buy the occassional flower for me when he could afford it or bring me home the ones he either grew or asked gardeners for. Arch changed all that though...he LOVES giving flowers and for just about every occassion he can he will either send me flowers or present them to me when I visit him. When Sigel saw how much I appreciated the effort he struck a bargain with Arch, on Valentine's Day and my birthday they collaborate on a stunning arrangement and sign the card from my guys. This year my Son was included in the card for Valentine's Day.
Sigel is just as romantic as Arch but it seemed in the early years that any flower he would buy for me would die horribly fast and rosebuds would die without even opening. So he decided to buy me a lovely card or something sweet instead. He said it felt like he was presenting me with dead weeds and professing his love! Turns out he just couldn't afford the better cut flowers because now my flowers open majestically and are just amazing.

I've never gotten any flowers. I've told my boyfriend several times that I would like some, but it has yet to happen. I turned 23 yesterday.

Yes and 23, Female. Oddly enough I have only given flowers. None of my mates seemed to think of flowers and me in proximity, so the closest gift I've ever gotten was home-made chocolates, once.

Sci-fi and lingerie are awesome v-day and anniversary gifts, don't get me wrong, (and defiantly more suited to my personality) but it makes me a bit sad that no flowers have manifested yet for my secret almost-girly side.

This guy who tried to date me brought me 2 dozen roses after I explicitly said that roses were my most hated flower ever ever ever (I remember having a very rant-y conversation with him about it for somereason before this incident) needless to say that and some other circumstances made me cross him off my potential list.

In our three year relationship, I once received flowers. It was a surprise of a dozen pink roses on our two year anniversary that he set up as a surprise while he was out of town for the weekend.

I have. It was kind of awkward.

I have received, but have never given. That sounds selfish--let me clarify. I have received flowers, and always show my "appreciation."

I have given and received flowers many times. One of the things about being a lesbian is I get both sides of it. Most of the girls I've been with, even the more butch ones, enjoyed receiving flowers and most have given them too. I'm 27 now. Been dating girls since I was 20 and I think the first time I received flowers from a romantic interest, I was 18 and it was a guy. I was 21 the first time I received flowers from a girl.

I've given flowers and recieved flowers to and from both genders. I prefer to give live plants to bouquets. I don't think I can remember how many i've given or recieved. It's been more then a few but less then a lot!

I received flowers twice. Once from my bf at my HS graduation, and once from my ex for our 1-month anniversary. I think men should put in the effort to do this stuff more. After all, our flowers go on sale at Kroger for like $3 for a bunch, and they still look good.

Yes I have. Though, he didn't seem overly excited about the flowers, he still liked them ok.

nope, I'm 20, honestly it'd be nice but I'd be much happier to have my bf bring me food at work or something, flowers are so expensive and they just seem like a waste... they're only gonna die....

I forgot the other part of this poll. Yes, I've given and received flowers. I prefer live flowers though. Because, let's be honest, you're willingly paying for something that will die shortly. I'm 38 yrs old.

Yes and 20-30. I've both given and received flowers. Bummer about the mistake on the poll

I'm 19 and have both given and received flowers - I appreciate it when people give me live rather than cut flowers, or local flowers rather than ones from a shop that have been shipped from another state or country, because really chemically processed flowers make me a bit sad. They have so little scent and aren't as pretty, not to mention the crappy working conditions in the factories where they're packed and shipped.

In short, I love flowers in a very hippie way. I like them local and living, and find them very sweet and romantic when they have those qualities.
