Did You Send Yourself Flowers Last Valentine’s?
woobie on February 16th, 2008
Why the question?
Is it pathetic to send flowers to yourself on a special occasion? You might have heard this advice from friends before and thought that you would never stoop down to spending money just so you can feel good, or pretend that you got flowers from someone.
However, this ‘trick’, if you want to call it that, is the oldest relationship mind game there is. It makes your partner wonder what you did to deserve those anonymously delivered flowers, who could have sent them and even why he didn’t think of sending them to you himself.
You have to act like you were absolutely flabbergasted by the surprise though, for the trick to work. This way, your partner won’t have cause to get mad at you because… you also have absolutely no clue as to who sent them and why!
This not-so-subtle ‘hint’ will remind him that he should pay more attention to your romantic needs and not take you for granted just because you’ve been together for so long and you probably will never leave him even if he never sent you flowers at all.
Of course, there is a possibility that he’s going to think that you sent them to yourself to make him jealous, but if you keep it up and bring out the heirloom vase to put the flowers in, there is always that nagging thought in his mind that someone might be admiring you from a distance … hence bring out protective and possessive feelings.
Did I ever send flowers to myself? No, but i sent myself a cake once with “you’re so sweet and special” written in chocolate icing. I ate the cake dreamily in front of him, smiling the whole time (mainly because I think chocolate is the best foodstuff in the world, but he doesn’t know that).

actually, Sunday in my house is “Flower Sunday”.. so I give flowers every week so giving flowers as presents isn’t that special anymore, I have to lift to the next level when I give special occasion presents now.

Wow. I wish all men were as romantic as you. Flower giving is really sweet!
The cemetery near my house always has extra flowers come nightfall.

I didn’t send flowers to myself, but I told my hubby how hot it made me when he did the dishes. Any sentence that has “sex” in it, they listen.

May kaibigan ako, Sam ang pangalan niya. Ganyan na ganyan. Selos na selos nga iyong isa kong kaibigan na si Piolo. Hindi. Hindi sila mga artista, kapangalan lang.
@mar
it’s official! Sam and Piolo have girlfriends, so does that prove they’re not gay? what do you think?
i turned her office into her own flower shop. ;)
