Question for the ladies?

[Merlyn II]

i need feedback asap,

Problem: The girl i like recently said that shes never realy gotten flowers from anyone.

Plan: My plan is to buy some roses(hardest part, poor), write a poem and attach it to the roses and then tape it to her car window before she gets off work

Question: Should the poem be directly towards her or metaphoricaly since she doesnt know i like her, and is this a good idea at all in the first place or is it to gay:confused:

[PsYcHiCcHiCk67]

hmm, well, here's mai idea....

First of all, i think it's a good idea. It's a nice gesture to show that ur her friend, and u care about her..
Also, well, the poem...it depends on whether u WANT her to know that u lyke her. if you DO, then go ahead, write a romantic poem or whutevers.
If u don't, then write lyke, "i remembered you telling meeh that u've never gotten any flowers before...so now u can say u have."

:idea: ooh! just got an idea! well, it would beeh kinda cool, if u make ...yes make a coupon thingie, that says "one free dinner at any restaurant of ur choice, w/ meeh"
cuz.. that can be presented as friends, OR as a luver. gets it? ya...i'm a lil' confusing today....sorrie.

I don't know if other women would agree with me on this, but I find a single rose to have just as much of an effect as a dozen roses. Play your cards right, it'll have a better effect. Most men forget that it's the simple things not the grand gestures that make us happiest. She'll appreciate the fact that you LISTENED and REMEMBERED the things she told you. are you going to write your own poem? If not here's a choice. I forget the name of the author, but he was well known so you could look it up in a good poetry reference book. The name of the poem is One Perfect Rose

A single flower he gave me since we met
How tenderly his messenger he chose
Deep hearted and pure with scented dew still wet--
One perfect rose

I paraphrased a little, it's been a good ten years since I heard that poem. I just remember it being a sweet poem. When you find and read the whole poem, maybe get a little inspiration from it. Change it around, make it a little more personal to your feelings for her. Then you could call it your own. Hope this helped. ;)

one more thing, I think one rose works best for you because she doesn't know your true feelings yet. You can gauge her reaction and go from there.

I agree with curious. Since money seems to be somewhat of an issue, I think one rose would be best. Also, I've heard that different color roses have different meanings. For example, red roses represent love and yellow roses for friendship. You might want to take that into consideration as well. I like the poem idea too. For myself, I know that I prefer poems that come from your own heart. Sometimes it means more to have that personal touch to it. I wrote a poem to a guy once describing how he made me feel inside. It nearly brought him to tears. Words can be a powerful thing, you just have to know how to use them correctly. You'll have to let us know how it all goes.:D

I have a friend that I do poetry for. Here is one that you can use that I have given to her. You may reword it to fit the occassion.
I feel poetry is best if left undirected but kept general.

THINKING OF YOU

Your Beauty
Outshines The Most
Beautiful Rose
In The Garden
Of Life You Are an
Enchanting Rose

Thinking of You Is Like
Wishing On A Star
And Having
That Wish Come True

If I Had A Wish
And Had That Wish
Come True
It Would Be To Spend
More Time With You and
Thinking Of You

well it went good i guess but now my other friend recently broke up with his gf and so to make a long story short i loose again

[curious]

what does that mean? Is she more into this other guy?

[LoveChild84]

I think 1 rose would be just effective as several.
If you do go through with this, it will be obvious that u like her.

So just work out whether you want her to know that before taking action.

[Pandora1980]

I don't get what your friend breaking up has to do with it.

But for future reference or anyone else reading this. I also agree that one rose is fine. You only have to worry about more when it's expected- like you did something real bad and now she deserves flowers.
When it's unexpected- one may even be better than a dozen.
- it really is the thought that counts- 1 shows you thought about her- a dozen is too standard- everyone does a dozen.
About the different colors of roses, I've heard pink means "your lovely", so that seems a safe color if you don't want to show that you really, really like her (to save from rejection) and don't want to just be friends (in hopes you don't get rejected).

Remember it's quality- not quantity. There are lots of things you can do for free or little money that - at least for me- would mean a lot more than expensive things.
