I take it her reaction was less than grateful?

Never tried flowers before just asking her out though.

My dating day are past me....thank God for that.

Dating advice for the boys:
Never buy things for girls that you aren't dating.

If she is receptive, she'll see you as a big spender. Not a good message. If she isn't receptive, well you just wasted your $$$.

Girls know right away if they're gonna give it up for you. Flowers don't make a difference. Neither does dinner, etc..

How many times have you bought flowers for a girl, spent dough on dinner...then dropped her off early with barely a kiss.

Guess what she's going after your date? Yup - she's calling that player who treats her badly, he's at the bar drinking and will show up at her place later.

How many times has she taken a cell phone call during your dinner then hung up quickly...then has to go to the bathroom 2 minutes later with her purse/phone. She's making plans for later.

Trust me on this one, girls all hate the players yet they keep going back to them, time and time again.

She'll tell you how much she hates her ex, but she keeps going back to him or a guy just like him.

Relationships are an entirely different animal. I haven't figured those out yet But if you want to get l@id, or if you want to play the field with a lot of different girls...trust me on this stuff. There's a reason why all the hotties always talk about the jerks they seem to "end up with."

I cut a rose off my rose bush and took it over in the bottom half of a two-liter bottle. It sat on her fridge until it died. Hell it might still be there now. It wasn't worth the trouble.

I'm not big on flowers but I got these rose bushes that came with the house and the blossoms are huge.

I believe it's that ladder theory one, the one with the girls having too ladders.
Best advice on girls I ever read. Wish I had that to go by when I was dating many years ago.

Speedy Racer, Its worth the read but I can't seem to link the thread.

Use search function for "ladder", then open up thread "can anyone explain girls?"
Sorry, not good at posting links in this forum, ain't figured it out yet.

Kobiashi is entirely correct! Ladder theory, it just might be the best time you ever spend if you read it and take it to heart.

http://www.laddertheory.com/

I guess everyone has to figure it out for themselves the hard way, it's the real morons who have to learn this lesson time and time again, that hard way.

Ay comments from our resident ladies on ladder theory?

Lady here!! Uh, that ladder theory was interesting. It might be true. From our standpoint, well, we think you guys have the ability to be our friends. We don't know you want to nail us unless you either tell us or we want to nail you also. If that's the case, you find out and we already know. I think. Sh*t, now I confused myself.
BTW, flowers die. That's no fun.

Precisely.
Men say they're hungry, because they're hungry.
Men say they're thirsty, because they're thirsty.
Men say they're cold, because they're cold.
Men say they're happy, because they're happy.

With girls, you're supposed to read beteen the lines. Only the lines are invisible, and though it sounds like English, the meanings for words in their language change depending on factors that no one understands.
