    The good guys bring you flowers for no reason. If my fiance knows I'm having a bad day, he goes out of his way to get me a little present, like my favorite latte or an oil change.

    Yesterday we were walking down the street and there was a Hibisicus (my favorite flower) plant...he plucked one and put it behind my ear and told me I was beautiful.

    THOSE are the guys you need to date. Never settle for less.

    Here is the deal. There are different types of guys in this world. A beta who is a little bit more subservient is likely to bring flowers. An alpha who is a little more sexy and more likely the guys you are attracted to does not care about this stuff and will not bring flowers. The reason he does not care about this stuff is because he is head strong which is why you like him in the first place. You set the rules for the type of guy you date - if you date the betas they will bring you the flowers.

    I'm 36 years old and not ONCE did I ever get flowers from a man I was dating. I met and married the man of my dreams. A true gentleman. He's gotten me flowers 4 times since October. (just enough times to make me appreciate them every time) Not just any ole bouquet of flowers either....BIG, BEAUTIFUL bouquets. A dozen roses mixed in with about 2 dozen other flowers....and the best part about it is, he surprises me with them at work, so I get to make everybody jealous. Seriously though, not sure how old you are, but I waited all my life for a man like him and it was well worth the wait. Be patient. Your knight in shining armour is sure to sweep you off your feet and bring you all the flowers you could ever dream of.

    Don't ask a man to buy you flowers, it's not nearly as special as him doing it on his own. You can throw him little hints while you are out and about like "oh those flowers are bea-U-tiful! I LOVE [yellow roses (or insert your favorite flower here)] Guys tend to want to do things on their own with no help from a female. Sometimes they just need a little push in the right direction.

    you wanted flowers over chocolate?, I being a man would think a woman would rather have chocolate, but flowers are nice to give also, that makes me think I will go buy all 3 for my wife right now, because I feel guilty, its been awhile.

    I may be young man, but I sure do know this. Men now in days are losing that respect and romantic ways. Men are now afraid of what others might say when they give flowers to a girl.

    Well, let's see. If you told him to pick, then i mean, it's like a one in three shot of picking flowers. If you want flowers, TELL HIM! Not all girls like flowers, but most girls would like chocolate. Next time, if you really want flowers, don't let him pick, tell him.

    If you want something specific, ask. Don't expect him to read your mind. As for men bringing flowers, they do. I find it odd that he gave you a list of choices.

    Guys are so macho now a days. My ex used to get teased by his friends when he gave me flowers.
