GoToTheGround Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Now this might be a tad redundant given that I've already sent them, but I'm just curious about what the ladies here think.Obviously there's a ton of context I could add but I won't unless it dramatically affects the reaction, but in general: you receive flowers at your workplace from guy you just started dating.

ZenGwen Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Just started dating? Awesome, especially if it's going well. If it's not actually going that awesome or if I'm feeling like it's going a bit fast, could be meh. (I have been very put off by guys buying me quite nice jewellery 'too' early in a relationship, as a parallel.) My boyfriend and I are 20% of the workforce at the same company, though, so I doubt he'd do that. Pain is the feeling of weakness leaving the body. Blog | Pinterest | Fitocracy Link to comment
spatzcat Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 awesome. I have never seen this backfire. ever. Never let your fear decide your fate. Link to comment
Shortkaik Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Awesome. I would love that! I don't think it sends the "too fast" signal, since it's just flowers... not like a diamond necklace or something, now that would be creepy (since you've just started dating). I say, go for it! Woo her! Mmm... kaik.Twitter - flickr Link to comment
Gonestarfishing Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Supremely awesome even if she's not all THAT interested...getting flowers, especially in a place where other people see that you got flowers is a very good feeling. Unless you are stalking her in which case it would = creepy. But I doubt you're stalking her. So woo! Good for you!

ZenGwen Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 not like a diamond necklace or something, now that would be creepy (since you've just started dating).Hilariously, this is exactly what the aforementioned guy got me that freaked me out.

ETFnerd Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 i sent my wife flowers to her office after our first date... i think that for a lot of women, it makes them feel good inside having everyone in the office know that they have someone in their lives who will send them flowers... nice move GTTG... nice move... ;-) i don't care what u think of me. unless u think i'm awesome. in which case u're right.

catspaw Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 awesome. I have never seen this backfire. ever.The only time I've seen this backfire is the time I had two sets of flowers from two different people arrive at work on the same day... Oops.

GoToTheGround Posted May 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Well now I feel considerably better ;-) Thanks for the positivity folks....and lol I'm not stalking her, we've been out a few times. Today I got a message saying she's sad she can't see me this weekend hence me fumbling for 20mins to think up an appropriate message to go with the flowers.

SusieBlu Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I love getting flowers at work, my husband did it for valentine once, I was uber happy because everyone got to see the flowers get delivered and then would comment on them at my desk. Every time it happened it reminded me of how much I love him. Try everything once. If it kills you don't do it again.Paleo- So Easy A Caveman Can Do It Link to comment

Maggie May Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Totally awesome. Nothing is better than getting an unexpected delivery to your workplace. My husband sent some the week before we got married with a note saying "enjoy your last week of work as a single woman, I love you!" It was amazeballs. (that's why I married him.)So yeah. Good for you for doin it up right in the beginning - she'll remember it! edit: don't say i love you in yours. yet. that would be creepy. LOL. Link to comment
