Old fashioned
It's true. Women who really love you always say the same thing each time they receive bouquets, 'Why would you waste the money on roses? Thank you, but I'd rather get something else.'
So this was what I came home to on Sunday, apart from the dinner, the movie, and the pair of jeans from Union Bay (to add on to my CNY new clothes stash). And predictable me called my man to repeat that line, complete with the usual 'HOW MUCH IZZIT? MUST BE SO EXPENSIVE… AIYAH WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY….'
Eric's usual, 'You like mah… '
And he's right. I love them roses A LOT … which woman doesn't like receiving flowers from the man she loves? So who am I kidding each time I say, 'You shouldn't have?'
Really, honestly, he should not have, but since he did buy me roses, the bouquet really did complete the day in romantic wholesomeness…
Mental note to self: MUST LEARN TO SAY THANK YOU AND SHUT UP THE NEXT TIME I GET ROSES…

My other half bought me flowers once (yes, only once)… because even before he bought me flowers I always claim that I don’t like them. Well, I guess he thought that I was serious :p.

Thanks for such an insight. As a guy, I honestly thought if women keep saying that, they just don’t want us to get all lovey dovey on them.
I had a girl I like once who, no matter how much I tried to compliment her, she’d keep saying she doesn’t look good, isn’t nice, bad-mannered and stuff. And I mean always. Never an adorable blush and a ‘thank you’. Sometimes I wonder if the words even get through to her.
