Is this a good idea or not?
I need to send some flowers to this girl who I want to ask out. She's a friend of a friend and I have been hanging out with them a lot recently. I need to write something on the card but I am unsure as to what. I have an idea and I stole it from that tv show good morning miami. I was going to write, "Saw these and thought of you. Saw Everything and thought of you." What do you guys think? Too sappy? Or should I just write the first part.

Definitely don't write the whole thing... Is WAYYY too forward, since you aren't dating her already. The first part would be ok. "Saw these and thought of you. Would you like to go to dinner Friday with me?" or something along those lines maybe?

"I saw these and I thought of you" is perfect.
Simple, elegant, non-stalker, and just an element of intrigue. Go for it.  |

Thank God for recon. Saved me good a few weeks ago. I would have made a pretty big fool of myself but luckily I was given insider info by the girls sister. |

Aiite, I sent the flowers out last night and she should get it today. I just wrote the first part.
***Update*** I just got a call from her. SHe said yes. Woohoooo!!!! I got this really nice restaurant in mind. For all you New Yorkers out there, it's called Merchants located around 50'ish St. on the east side (First Av.???) I will look it up through Citysearch. I've been there once and it's pretty romantic. I can't wait. Last edited by JackHammer : 01-29-2003 at 08:19 PM. |

I called her twice last week and both times left messages. I think I should stop. I don't want to seem like some sort of obsessed freak. And I think there is something called pride.

I love this dog and pony show people have to put themselves through for society. The fact that there are "signbs" and "hints" and things you're "supposed to do" is weird when you really think about it. Why cant people just say what they think then have the person reply with what they think. Sometimes the human mating ritual seems almost pointlessly contrived.

I think you should try one more time. Three strikes and you're out. Then move on to the next one.

Nah... two is plenty. Heck, I would've only called once (unless of course I had some reason to believe that she didn't get the message). IMO, leave the ball in her court. If she want nothing to do with me, she has that right.
