The Art of Giving Flowers

So...you want to give your wife, your girlfriend, your friend with benefits, a girl your dating or just a special someone flowers.  Here is a quick guide on how to do it right and like a gentleman.

First, don't get caught up in the belief that giving flowers to a woman sends an automatic message of love or "creeper" status (although if not given correctly, it could send one of these messages, so see instructions below to avoid this and make sure the message you want received is given).

Second, the giving of flowers to a girl of interest is a lost art amongst millions of todays' eligible bachelors, although it should have never been lost in the first place!

Third, know what each flower means if given to a woman (see list below).

Fourth, believe in yourself enough to give flowers to someone of interest confidently and with true emotion.

Fifth, have fun with this and know that if done right, it will only secure you positive points, hopefully leading to the successful courting of the woman you are chasing!

• New Baby/Mother's Day - both occasions call for a present, be it she bore your child or she gave birth to you, these women are the most special
• Saying I'm Sorry - we as the male gender mess up a lot, don't mess up even more by not doing the right thing, buy her flowers and show her that her forgiveness is extremely important to you
• A Special Date - the night you first kiss her, your first date, proposing to her, there are multiple "special dates" and flowers only assist in your efforts to show your affection for her
• Surprise Her - find a girl who doesn't like receiving flowers from a man and I'll show you a single girl for life
