When is it appropriate to give a woman flowers?
Flowers hold a very special place in the annals of dating tradition. Men have been using them as a means to woo, curry favor, manipulate and simply to please women for millennia. Things aren’t much different today than they were back when Mark Antony sent Cleopatra a bunch of roses to help convince her of his love (or to help her overlook his infidelity.) The rules haven’t changed much either.
Today, the very best time to give a woman flowers, is when the two of you are in love, and there is nary a holiday or milestone in sight. In this instance, flowers are given as a means of conveying love, affection and a desire to cause happiness in the woman that is so cherished. Giving flowers in this way shows the woman that she is loved simply for who she is, and her man wants her to know it.
Other times that it’s good and appropriate to give a woman flowers:
Whether it is blind, prearranged, or impromptu, a single rose or a cut fresh flower from a garden presented at first sight; is almost always welcomed and appreciated. Women like to know that the man that has come to take them out on a date, sees them as someone special and a flower does just that. It says she is worthy of the time it took to get the flower, and that the man sees her as feminine, and delicate, as perhaps, a flower.
Though it might be somewhat a cliché, women do still like getting flowers on Mother’s Day, her birthday, anniversaries, Easter and petty much any other day that someone takes the time and goes to the expense of obtaining flowers and bringing or sending them to her.
It is almost always appropriate to bring a woman flowers if you are going to visit her after not seeing her for awhile. Whether it is a mother, daughter, friend or past romantic flame; flowers show the woman she was thought of before the doorbell rang and will be appreciated long after, as they sit in a nice vase in one of her rooms.
When a woman loses someone she loves, flowers are always appropriate if not appreciated due to the circumstances. They will likely be noticed at a later time and will provide some degree of comfort.
Times when it’s not appropriate to give a woman flowers:
When you are only giving them to her to get something you want.
When you’ve done something wrong and hope it will help ease the pain of apology.
When she has allergies.
Truly, getting flowers under the right circumstances is something that most women will appreciate and enjoy.
