MEN: what would you think...

if the woman you were dating gave you a single white rose? What about a red rose?

she held two roses in her hand
two roses she gave to me
the red rose told of her passion
the white rose of her love so true

White Roses - No thank you, i don't want to get laid.

Red Roses - Take me to your place and lets get dirty. 😄

to much beer i assum

Uh, not that any girls would wanna give me a rose but I guess I'd kinda be flattered but it'd be more like this:

Her: "Here, this is for you."
Me: "Uh, thanks..."

Of course, everyone's different, but I'm more of a traditional person so I think it's more normal-seeming for guys to be giving the roses.

Well I've done something similar for my ex on Valentines day. I gave him a beautiful heart shaped box of chocolates and he was flattered by it and surprised. I think it was a day b4 valentines or was it valentines? Idk. But he was happy, so I say go for it.

I was going to just leave it taped to his door rather than physically hand it to him... but, this past weekend one of his employees broke up with his GF and moved in with him. If he didn't leave his house so damned early (4:30-5am) I could leave it on his windshield... yeah, I could crawl out of bed at 4am and drive over to do that, ME getting up THAT early would speak volumes and would probably be more meaningful than the rose LOL

where does he work? haha i sent my bull some flowers to work. HAHAHAHA it was great. he secretly LOVED it. i didn't send roses, i don't care for roses, and i tried to make it as masculine as possible. not all guys would appreciate that though, especially if its not like a coporate office enviornment. If he works at a mechanic's shop i really wouldn't recommend it. lmao

I think guys love being surprised and getting small gifts, just as much as women do. One thing I would also do for him was cook. He loved my home cooked meals, even though it's a small thing, he really appreciated it. But then again he's gotta be a really special guy for me to do that. I don't bend over backwards to please often. If your considering getting up at 4AM for him yeah that speaks volumes, he must be something.

Haha, I actually did that for the last girl I was interested in... (I can count the number of girls I truly cared for with less fingers than I have on one hand). Anyway, it was winter and there was snow out on the roads. I woke up at like 4:30-5AM and had to drive west (the opposite direction of my workplace) for about 40-45 minutes to get to her house and left her a rose on her windshield and headed straight to work.

So she calls me later at work and asks if I was the one that left the rose for her. I started playin stupid and was like "Huh? What're you talking about?". She jokingly tells me "You're stupid." and then mentions that she found it inside of her car and immediately I'm thinking "Oh sh*t. I hope she doesn't think I broke into her car and left it in there or something." and it turns out her dad is always up early so he tends to start her car for her to defrost it during the winter and saw it and put it inside her car.

Anyways, didn't intend to bore you all with the long post. Of course, things didn't work out, guess we were just too different (she was a Sag). Varies from person to person but if you do decide to give a guy a rose, probably just keep it to 1 rose, not a dozen of them or something like that. Gets the message across without being over the top, if you know what I mean.

LOL already got him with the cooking... his mom (mind you he's 45) even has commented on having competition (yes, he's mentioned me to his mom and she lives about 8 hrs away... what's up with him mentioning ME). I put him over the top with a lasagna dinner this past weekend (salad, garlic bread and all). The (perfect) cheesecake I baked probably took the cake. Ah, the one thing I do well - cook! I'm working on a pumpkin cheesecake for him this evening (that he doesn't know about) for he to take to his friend's place tomorrow for Thanksgiving. He invited me, but I'll be spending time with my family. But, I thought I'd send it along anyway. (just a little smitten these days, I am! - ah, but he's a Pisces, of course I am taken by him, they have that way about them I suppose).

I gotta ask do you happen to be a Cancer? Pumpkin cheesecake sounds good, me and my friend were just talking about it the other day. Well thats sweet of him to invite you, and yeah mentioning you to his mother should put you up there in a more serious category, but I wouldn't act on anything until you meet her. I haven't had the pleasure of getting to know any Pisces men. I know one, but it's been years and feel like I don't really know him anymore. Just on the surface. He's cool, very funny, guy. Your guy make you laugh a lot? He does have a very very unique personality, like Aquarius.

A Cancer? God no! And thankfully so! (that is what I give thanks to this Thanksgiving LOL). Cappy through and through!! But, a great cook and love doing thing for others to make them smile. I doubt I'll meet the mom anytime soon as she lives so far - but, he goes up there every 2 wks so one never knows. He's a mamma's boy, not sure dear ol' mom wants to meet her competition. Maybe she likes the fact he has someone taking care of him here.

You ask if he's funny, they say Pisces like to laugh, he has a very sarcastic wit about him and it is constant he seems to be able to make anything funny (e.g., he told me he hit a deer the other day, had to jump the ditch and chase her through the field, but he got her - I think it's funny others, like my Aries GF would be appalled, yes, he really did hit a deer). He makes me laugh and that's not too easy, most people don't think that I have a sense of humor. My humor is rather dry and sarcastic too which actually is very good, we get each other (and we're the brunt of each others jokes often - playful banter). Sometimes I do think I'm a little too serious for him though and I fear he will get bored - thus the reason I am cooking for him, I've got him hooked, I just need to keep him on the line.

I think colors mean something different to each individual. Its like the whole not wearing white after labor day....how ridiculous in this macrocosm.

If someone tells you what its supposed to mean then it defeats the impact of the gesture for different people think differently about different things. Do not buy me a country cd and say to me "This is so-and-so's greatest album bc I wont care. Something done nice for someone should be well thought of and catered to what you know about that object of affection.


And sometimes nice is just nice.

My ex, a Leo, gave me a single red rose once. I was very touched by it. I always used to buy her flowers so it was lovely for her to reverse the situation.

Was able to spend some time with my Mr. Pisces today after all. I kinda feel special being introduced to his best friend and all... he's not keeping me in the shadows anyway, that means something (I think). Ah, maybe he introduces all of his women to him, therefore making me not so special at all. He didn't introduce me as his girlfriend, but he did keep referring to me as hon and even gestured for me sit on his lap - as has been said here many times over: actions speak louder than words! He even jokingly said he loved me in front of his friend... "I'm an animal lover, after all I love you and [his dog]". Guess I'll have to get up early to deliver that rose after all... just need to decide red (passion) or white (my intentions are pure/love is true - or I'm innocent NOT LOL). Of course white can be apologetic too. I'm leaning toward white, It's a feeling.

White

go with the red you might get laid

i folded my gemini a bouquet of origami flowers (lilies ad tulips) and put pipecleaners in as stems but i made sure i used masculine colors like blue and green and yellow. he put them in a beer bottle (as a vase) on his bedside table. since he likes beer and he likes his bed i assume he liked them 🙂

I gave a red rose to a guy before. A Virgo. He was very surprised and pleased I believe.
Actually, I went way out of my way to do it.

We were never in a relationship but it was a well-deserved apology... rose 😛

But recently I was thinking of gifting my Virgo a rose too!
I mentioned it as a joke so I have to wait a few weeks to hit the surprise note hehe

If you're going to give him a gesture to show you care ... then he'd probably rather have a blow job without having to express feelings, or hearing yours.


Just suck him off and stfu ..... oh and never speak of it as if it's suppose to mean anything else. You wanted to give him a token and that's it, it doesn't mean anything more.

the rat has spoken so be it she should know I am sure she has given many.

In the asking of the question .. what would a man think, it is in essence asking for a responsive feeling.


So, in reality .. this desire to give of something is for yourself because you would be looking for him to give you some feeling back, and you would anticipate it to be a nurturing one for you to feel good.

If your intention is just a gesture, a token, as you later insinuated was the purpose ... then it has to actually be FOR him to enjoy and not for you to get something = expectation.


To give is absent of expectations .. or esle it's not a gift, it's a manipulation.





I would suggest the only thing you need to buy are two things .... knee pads and breath mints, unless of course you like smelling like dick.

so sayeth the rat
