honestly I’ve given guys flowers before and they’ve always really appreciated it. and not just in romantic settings. like I was the first girl ever to give my boyfriend a flower, and he dried it out and saved it in his keepsake box. for context, my boyfriend hardly saves anything and is the type to live out of a suitcase. then, for my grandpa, he almost died last year from cardiac issues. I brought him a bouquet of roses when he was back home and doing better, and as an 78/79 year old man, he
was touched. he said that was the first time anyone has ever gotten him flowers before, which is honestly true for a lot of guys. I think it’s sad that for a lot of guys, the first time they’ve ever gotten flowers might be at their funeral. my grandpa was so touched by the gesture that he kept bringing it up every time I came to visit after that. might buy him a random bouquet of flowers soon just because. Hope this helps🥰
I agree with that but to an extent. on a first date probably. but I’ve also gotten flowers for guy friends who I knew were having a hard time. it depends person by person- some of them were happy about them and didn’t assume anything romantic, one of them became obsessed with me. but it just shows imo why we need to normalize acts of kindness to make people less socially inept overall in that way
