My Dh knows that I don't want flowers b/c the will die..now if he wants to give me flowers he gives me ones I can plant in the yard! They last longer that way! But I am happy with the little things he does like covers me back up when he wakes up, starts the cars in the morning when it is cold out and just being his self!

Flowers

That's a great idea!!! I love that he can bring you flowers that will add to the beauty of your home!!! Although we have been talking about flowers from our husbands, boyfrinds, fiancees, etc, this is a great idea for MOTHERS DAY! I might buy my mother-in-law-to-be a nice little flower pot that she can display for the rest of the season! Perrenials can be added to the yard and will come up year after year! Sorry for the little peice of garden info! LOL!

do sweet things for him and he'll return the favor...

I've gotten flowers from my boyfriend twice... valentines day and then once just as a surprise it was very sweet. he also sends me sweet little cards in the mail just to let me know that he loves me...... i love all these little things he does and i would feel totally neglected if he didn't do them for me. but in turn i do little things for him to... i mail him little cards and hide little notes for him to find at his place after i leave. so it goes both ways... why should he be giving you flowers for no reason if you don't do any special little things for him? just a thought....

Ur right DDM!

Instead of being focused on things that we receive that make us happy, we should also think about what we do for others! Text mesages are cute every once in a while. Do you ever get the feeling that when you do something cute for someone for a long time they tend to not enjoy it or appreciate it as much???!!!!

My experience with FLOWERS Hmmm well my husband and I have been together now for 12 years married 5 and I recieved flowers when i popped out a kid.....thats true.

men sometimes dont think the way we think , some are really romantic some are not.i have gotten flowers when my husband and i was dating and even now after we got married he still buys them not often only on special occasion like valentines. its nice to get them but if they dont get u any that does mean he think of u any less or love u any less.

The greatest guy...

Maybe I have the greatest boyfriend in the world...the walls of my room are COVERED in dried flowers. We've been dating for almost 3 years. I'm about to move...900 miles away and I don't know what to do with them all!! One of my favorite sets of flowers was when he went on a family road trip to Missouri. A few days after he left HUGE yellow roses were delivered with a card that said he was in "Misery" without me. Even though I love it when he sends flowers to me I can't feel that special because he's the type that randomly sends flowers to his grandma too. He's amazing and I love him.....even without the flowers.

Flowers....who needs them :-)...yeah right!

HAHA, what a great topic. I was just talking to my boyfriend about this the other day.

We have been together 3 years and the ONLY time he got me flowers was when we first started dating on my 25th birthday.

His reason is, flowers die and are a waste of money.... HELLO...they are beautiful and meaningful. He says, we have our love, isn't that enough...how the heck do you answer that one? Yes it is enough, but flowers are thoughtful and smell good.

So when we bought our house, we planted two rose bushed in our backyard together (he bought them) and I can go get them whenever I want

Maybe not flowers, but what about showing appreciation?

I have read all of the posts about receiving flowers from your b/f and I would like to say that I am experiencing the same issue with my b/f. He does not give me flowers or anything else for that matter. I have to say that he will help me with different stuff, however, I cook, clean, and try to make him feel like a king. I also leave little love notes in his apartment, truck and even send emails just to show how much I care. He does not return the favor. I know that some of you said that it does not mean that he does not love me, but it makes me feel like he does not care. How can you love someone and not be excited about showing them you care? I go out of my way to show him my appreciation and when I do so, his attitude resembles someone who is not bother by my actions. It is really starting to get to me and it is really, really putting a damper on our relationship.
