Flower or email? (48)
crazyboynvaTucson, Arizona USA25 Threads 485 PostsIt seems like every time I attempt to break the ice by sending a flower, I hardly get a response, (I have gotten a thank you or two). What do you prefer for the first contact...flower, email or both?

Both.That way I can reply to the e-mail and maybe only sound like half an idiot.

I think I'd rather get right ot the good stuff. The flower is a nice gesture, but I think I'd rather know they are really interested.

I have to agree with star... whatever a person wants to send both are a way of saying hey, I'd like to get to know you. Even just as a friend. So my advice Mr. "C" is to keep sending them out and sooner or later you will connect.

Yep, both and frequently until you get a reply.

My understanding of the flower thing from a woman's point of view - it's way of telling a man that you are interested in hearing from him.

I have to agree with phoenix here. I had sent out several flowers, and like him, I only received 2 responses. However, with the EMails, I received several responses. Some just EMailed to tell me that they were not interested because of distance constraints, and other's just because they were not interested. The fact is that EMails seem to garner a much broader response.

Email? Flowers? Either one shows interest. I received two flowers today and one email, and I responded to all three with equal amount of attention. Some people like the emails because they are a little more personal. Both are a great way of showing interest.

It seems like I get more responses with a note. I still send out flowers if I'm more constrained on time, but the responses are much farther and fewer between.

Not necessarily. I have finally figured out flowers.
After being baffled for some time, I realized that a
flower sends only one signal "I am interested in you",
while a message doesn't necessarily send that signal
at all. I exchange friendly messages with people on this forum all the time, and sometimes it is almost as if we are just maintaining a pretense that they are no more than friendly mesages. Why the pretense? Well, it depends. With the younger women it might be because they would not like more serious message from me, and with the ones my age, I am just a bit too shy or cautious or something. You know: twice bitten, once shy. So I express little interest and I expect they to do, too. More likely they just aren't interested. But you see, the e-mails don't say in these cases what a flower always says. Of course a message can say that in spades if you want it too, no doubt about that.
