Should I send this girl flowers? For some context: I’m 25M, she is 33F. We’ve gone on 2-3 dates. Im going to LA with friends for a week. Had plans to see each other but she had to cancel for a work function. We won’t see each other for ~2.5 weeks. I want her to know that I’m serious about her and really like her. Don’t want to come across as creepy at all. We did talk about seeing each other when I got back which she said yes to. 3-4 dozen roses okay?
Friends and family are always trying to set me up on dates. I may be weird or one of few. I have no interests in dating. I enjoy going out with friends and having a fun time but have no interests in dating. At the end of the day, I just want to be by myself, sleep in my bed, not touched by anyone. I dont have trouble getting dates; just dont want to date. no interests in men or women in that way. I'm 5ft4, 114 lbs, educated, 28 and on track for a good career. Can a woman live happily alone?
Do Mother’s and Father’s Day basically just exist to celebrate the older gen? Feels like most people I know, the younger parents are still pandering to the grandparents. My MIL has been sending gift lists of stuff to buy for our FIL and she barely remembered to say happy Mother’s Day to me and probably won’t do much for my husband (her son). We’re in it with 2 under 3 and demanding jobs, and it’s just driving me off the wall to constantly be receiving gift lists.
Yes. Send the flowerssss. I would swoooooon Not 3-4 dozen roses tho. Seems like a bit of an overkill. Agree with the more summer floral arrangement suggestion. But also, we don’t know her and how things are developing between the two of you. You do.
Second the fun summer bouquet, roses would give off a serious in love vibe to me.
I’m a guy here but I think roses could be a bit much but a different summery type bouquet may be better at this point. Nothing wrong with sending flowers!
Also true, a pretty bouquet will be a welcome surprise
How about 1 dozen roses? A very nice and romantic gesture, easier to put in a regular sizes vase. 27 f here
This. A simple dozen should do it! More than that and we'll be in Gilmore Girls territory (IYKYK).
Please redeem men and send her the flowers! 1 dozen is enough so she knows you're thinking about her

OP: send her these: https://bouqs.com/flowers/just-because/white-lilies-sunflowers Fun, flirty, not over the top like roses can be… you don’t need to spring for the max bouquet either. Write a nice little note to accompany the flowers.
Not my first rodeo. 😉
Definitely send a bouquet of summer flowers - not roses. But I would think this is charming and sweet. I still remember my husband bringing me flowers and small gifts when we first started dating - absolutely loved it and thought he was so thoughtful.
Have you been on 2 or 3 dates?
3-4 dozen roses seems excessive. Also, roses can be kind of cliche. A nice bouquet w a variety and 1 or 2 roses mixed in is my go to.
You're the one who's been on dates with her. How do you think she'd interpret it based on your interactions with her?
Yes to flowers, but definitely no to 3-4 dozen roses. A fun summer bouquet shows care, thoughtfulness and good taste. That many roses would feel like a kind of immature "I saw it in a movie" vibe for me.
Female here. Send them!!! So thoughtful
Awww how sweet!! 32f here. I think if you’re really into her definitely send the flowers but go with a dozen. Don’t wanna overwhelm her.
Does she think this is serious? 8 year gap for a woman is a lot
Double down. I've done 19 years my senior
Please send the flowers, but exactly how serious about her, are you bc 3-4dz we getting married when you get back, lol, just saying
I like the roses, but I would do one dozen this week and then candy or a card next week. Focus on quality and frequency vs volume. Also don’t let the age gap stress you - you’re well aligned.
Send her an Uber Ears gift card instead.
Actually not a bad idea
It depends if she likes things that goes to waste. Maybe see if she wants to meet you in LA? If not, maybe send her some postcards from some places you go to.
Female here: Don’t send roses they are too formal and traditional. Keep it light with a different flower. Or think outside of the box…is there something else you can send that she mentioned or you two shared a common interest in?
Local florist. Find one. You'll pay a little more than the internet sites, but it'll be better quality.
