I don’t speak about such occasions as birthdays, the anniversary of meeting, New Year and so on. I mean ordinary days that don’t differ from others! Why to give flowers without any occasion?

They say that poets have a heightened sensibility to the essence of things. Maybe this is why they love to compare a woman to a flower?

Flowers are a permanent attribute of any love story. Can you imagine courting without flowers?

Flowers are a compliment to a lady, the way of saying that a man finds her feminine.

Huge bouquets in the shape of a heart or delicate tulips that touch a heart of any woman – it doesn’t matter. The most important thing is to show your attention. In Russia there is a song, which is known by nearly all. It is about an artist who sold everything, his pictures and house, to give his beloved “the whole sea of flowers” – “a million of scarlet roses”!

Here is the letter of one young girl:

“Maybe someone will consider it to be a trifle, but still. I do want flowers. As a gift. For no special reason. But my boyfriend can’t guess to give them to me. He is a nice guy, but apparently he can’t court a girl well. What can I do and how to receive flowers from him at times?”

This question was addressed to other girls in the internet-forum.I find it interesting that she asks this kind of question: the girl is tired of waiting and she wants to undertake some actions and asks to help her with ideas. It is a revolution! :) We know already what was the outcome of one female revolution in America, maybe we should suppress it in the very beginning? :))

Once American journalist interviewed me and she remarked that I often urged men to give presents to their Russian brides. She asked: “Is it a must?” I wanted to respond by the question: “Why not?” :)

But at the same time I think that maybe it is uncustomary in the West indeed? Romantic Hollywood movies convince me of the opposite: things are all right with romance, flowers and presents in the West. Though I notice sometimes that Hollywood Factory of Dreams and real West have nothing in common.

But let’s return to our Russian girls. What did they advise to their “fellow-sufferer”?Opinions varied, but they can be divided into the following groups:

1. Give a gentle hint

- A woman can act much more delicately than to ask straightforward. For example, when you pass by a flower shop, halt for a while and after going some way away from it, say that you think the most beautiful flowers are (name). Or say while a suitable shot in a movie: “Oh, how romantic it is, he gave her flowers!”

- Tell him how much you love to have natural flowers in a vase at home. Well, for example, when I long for flowers, I say “aaaaaaaa”, rush to flower-girls and gaze at all sorts of gerberas and butter cups. Since a man is shy to take out a purse and buy me some flowers immediately, he does it softly in a couple of days in the evening after work.

- We were in a subway and there was a gerbera on the poster there. I said: “Oh, it is my favorite flower!”. And most importantly it sounded as if I hadn’t made any hints!

2. Tell him straightforward!

- Men rarely understand gentle hints :)

- Just say: “I want flowers!”

- I say to him directly “Somehow I so much want a floooower…”

- You should brace yourself and say looking into his eyes: “Sweetie, it happened so, that I am the kind of girl that loves being given flowers!”

- I said to him: “Mmm, why don’t you give me flowers?”, and my boyfriend promised to improve and have given me flowers a couple of times :)

- Tell him straightforward: “I love lilies”. Or roses. Or whatever you prefer.

3. Act on your own!

- It had an effect on my husband when I had bought flowers myself at his presence a couple of times.

- Give flowers to him. It works 90% :-)

4. Change your attitude!

- It seems the matter of flowers is rather not about the flowers themselves, but wish for romance, tenderness and so on. And flowers are just an expression of all these things. Maybe he expresses his romantic feelings in a different way?

- My man says that he doesn’t want to present “dead bodies of flowers”. It is his only shortcoming, so I put up with it.

Well, I’ve disclosed all women’s secrets to you! :)) Now you know all our tricks, but I have a question! Or more precisely, a favor to ask of you: don’t drive your beloved ladies to such state. Just give them flowers more frequently! Without any special occasion – just for a good mood, for romantic spirit.

If a woman doesn’t like cut flowers, pot roses aren’t worse at all! If she doesn’t like flowers completely, send her a lovely card, or a box of sweets. All these things are trifles, but our life is made of them. Then in many years your beloved will remember how beautifully you courted her. Believe me, these sweet memories will warm her heart for a long while. I say it to you being a woman myself! :)))
