It was a lovely late evening and we were having dinner on bed with a romantic movie (notebook, which she had not seen surprised ) suddenly she started crying and asked me "why don't you bring flowers for me any more?".

I was bit surprised and replied that recently there hasn't been an occasion to bring one so I didn't but if you want I will get one.
Then she got angry and told "Only when I tell, you will bring??"

My night got ruined slaphead and I didn't know what to reply or say.
So was it the movie or the un-occasional flower which got me in trouble??



I think I would have handled this so different.. I would have taken it as something to do with the movie...

I would have been flippant in my response..

Something like Well hells bells when are you gonna bring me some??


And as far as bringing someone flowers... If it is expected I would'nt do it.
Flowers while very nice aren't mandatory..

I dated someone without fail had a bouquet delivered once a week in a pretty wicker basket.. Yanno what???? didn't mean a thing since I knew he had his secretary do the ordering... I did thank her for them weekly...

Now if he picks me flowers and brings them to me that will say a lot...
Or surprise me with them.. big difference.

How did it ruin the night?
I think I would have been leaving her in the bedroom, and went and turned on football...

An old Irish folk song ....
He remembers the first time he met her
He remembered the first thing she said
He remembered the first time he held her
And the night that she came to his bed.

He remembers her sweet way of sayin'
Honey has something gone wrong
He remembered the fun and the teasin'
And the reason he wrote her this song.

Chorus:
I'll give you a daisy a day dear
I'll give you a daisy a day
I'll love you until the rivers run still
And the four winds we know blow away.

They would walk down the street in the evening
And for years I would see them go by
And their love that was more than the clothes that they wore
Could be seen in the gleam in their eyes.

As a kid they would take me for candy
And I'd love to go taggin' along
We'd hold hands while we walked the corner
And the old man would sing her this song.

Chorus:
I'll give you a daisy a day dear
I'll give you a daisy a day
I'll love you until the rivers run still
And the four winds we know blow away.

Now he walks down the street in the evening
And he stops by the old candy store
And I somehow believe he's believin'
He's holdin' her hand like before.

For he feels all her love walkin' with him
And he smiles at the things she might say
Then the old man walks up to the hill top
And gives her a daisy a day.

Chorus:
I'll give you a daisy a day dear
I'll give you a daisy a day
I'll love you until the rivers run still
And the four winds we know blow away...


Well jimmy ... It is unfair of her to compare you with the fantasy world of movie land .. Especially when it comes to romance .. . But ultimately I think it is your response that got you in to trouble ... Now if you Send her flowers especiallt while she is angry .. She will feel it is not because you want to but because you have to . Perhaps do something different.. It need not cost money ... .. Run her a bath with candles and rose petals in the water . Surprise her with a dessert with pretty edible flowers .. I am sure you can be creative :-)


That song is stuck in my head now. I will have to kill myself to get rid of it:smile:

Wow even I would saying what the heck is wrong with you woman? frustrated

Is she high maintenance?
If so run man run scared

Does she thinks you have to buy her things all the time?
Tell her to pay for it herself, you're not wallmart. laugh

To be honest if I were you after that I would have picked a weed flower and given it to her. rofl

Is not your company good enough?





I serious don't know..but I feel my reply has to do something with it. Till that time everything was so romantic..suddenly things went south and I was on couch frustrated
But she is not high maintenance or money minded and that is puzzling me


If she is not high maintenance why did she ask and why are you on the couch?
Doesn't add up to me?
Look for other signs to what is actually going on.


Well she was angry and if I had slept with her then it would have been hard for me to control and sorry for using the word couch, it was another bedroom. Yeah I am trying to remember and I don't want to call her but give her a surprise by going there and doing something different asap.

Your night got ruined? Got you in trouble?

Grow a set of balls. Go to the kitchen, make a sandwich, flip on ESPN sports on the big screen and tell her to stay where she is,(watching her movie on her tablet in the bedroom), and to stop in and see you when she grows up a bit.

Hahaha I guess I am that strong or strict person plus she is very sensitive gal who will get hard with that kind of action. I need to take it in a cool and loving way

I understand and I would have done something like that but she is very sensitive. It would hurt her so better to show affection and let her think I am thinking about it so she doesn't feel bad. Now plan is to go to her house and do something different and romantic

It's a two way thing.
What does she do for you?
Expecting things It's a no no no for me.
I spell needy. I can't be bothered with someone who just wants wants.
I see user when that happens.
Sorry Jimmy but that's what I see.

"Do you still give flowers un-occasionally?"

Only when the neighbor's flowers are in full bloom ohwell

flowers die v quickly once they are picked.
what is this with women and their flower desire?!
so meaningless.
once a year at a special occasion, okay.. but more than that is ..waste of those beauties..

Jimmy my man... I was afraid this might happen to you at some point, she's grooming you, grooming you to be subservient to her needs, no one should use drama over a stoopid flower, stand straight laddie, if you don't now, you'll never be able to keep her anyways.

Listen to the Greeneyed guy... Let her know she ain't dealing with no pushover and to keep her emotional drama over non-flora away from you and to appreciate what you do for her with no expectations.

I'll temporarily re-instate your ManCard privileges if you dump the good boyscout crap. Ruining a perfectly nice evening like that.... sheeesh!
