Because not all women like flowers I didn’t until two years ago. So I would still have to tell them if I did or did not. And how would they know what type of flowers you like if you didn’t say. Get a bouquet of roses when you really want Lily’shttps://twitter.com/BonaFideSage/status/1075788324378472454 …
But are you honestly gonna be mad that a man got you roses instead of Lily or are you gonna accept the flowers and then tell him that your favorite flowers are lily? It’s flowers. Those will die and he can get more later. It’s not like an engagement ring.

I’m going to tell him what I like to avoid any of that because most people will naturally feel away when the gifts they give are critiqued. I get your point especially when it comes to emotional labor however something like flowers when you’re dating is ok to say

We’re going to have to agree to disagree on that. To me flowers is such a simple way to tell someone you are thinking about them and want to bring beauty in their life. Saying “these are beautiful and FYI my fave flowers are _____” usually won’t rub someone the wrong way.

Hey I like this. I’m a firm supporter of being emphatically clear in regards to what I do and do not like from the very beginning. No room for confusion and if you chose not to listen we don’t have to date anymore

Plus theirs a whole language around flowers. I can get my friend yellow roses because that means friendship. It’s very fluid and i don’t take a way if I get flowers that aren’t my favorite because that person might be trying to send a specific message.

But if we’re talking about needs and anticipating them. If somebody doesn’t like a certain flower shouldn’t the message/intention be to make them happy and satisfied? And again If they don’t have flowers how would they know
