Guest AlwaysFaithful Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 So the other day I was in a foul mood, I had argued with someone and had almost come to blows with him. Anyhow I ran into this girl I know, and she talked me out of my anger, and foul moodness. I mean I got all mad, ran off and she came after me and helped/prayed with me thru this stuff. I mean this really means alot to me, most people just tell me to go away when I am mad. Anyway I was thinking of givign her 1 dozen white lillies as a thank you, is that appropriate? Note she is single. As am I. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White is usually reserved for marriage, while yellow means "friendship." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "helped/prayed with me thru this stuff" part is special. Simplicity and sincerity kinda go hand in hand, hence I'd stick with the single yellow rose.

I like getting cards better because I can keep them around a lot longer and they don't fade. Also, I'd be a bit confused if a single man gave me a flower because I would be worried.....well, you know. A card that says thanks pretty much means thanks. That's just me. I'm impressed that you are going to give her something. Very thoughtful, and it sounds like she deserves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a guy gave me that many flowers as just a thank you I would propose to him then and there LOL. So where are all those nice guys where I live? Unfair. Anyway, I bet she would be ecstatic with flowers. Depends on the type of girl though. What DID you end up doing? Eh, eh? *pokeprod* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A card or a flower would have been my go... hopefully it is well received, regardless the way you express your thankyou! i think it is awesome you want to acknowledge the impact your friend made! hmmm.... There is no emoticon/smilie flowers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
