Flowers & invitation for an unknown beauty

SwingFox · 08-06-2003, 03:38 PM

Hello there Members & Guests,

I'd like to have your opinion on something that I have done a few years ago. I thought it would be fun to bring this to eNotalone.com to have your opinion spread over this. Here we go:

I saw her in the restaurant that I regularly visited. She worked there and I was amazed by her and wanted to meet her. I didn't know how, so I decided that I would send her flowers and a note, signed with "Mysterious Guest". The flowers and note I had delivered at the place she worked at. The note was somewhat poetic and in the note I explained to her that I would come out and introduce myself later today to invite her for a date.

Here are my questions:

Guys:
- What do you think of this way of inviting a lady?

Ladies
- How would you feel when this would happen to you?
- Would you accept an invitation like that?

Looking forward to read replies on this one ... I'll update you tomorrow on how this actually ended

*grins*...i would love a gift like that,....and yes! I probably would have accepted! especially if he was a groovy sounding guy like yourself!

Yeh thats definitly a sweet thing....girls love that kinda stuff...That mysterious stuff....keep it up..lead her on wondering and wondering who you are..and when you finally break it to her who you are make it something really special....good luck.

Oh my God!!!

I am groovy?? LOL... that's too funny. I didn't know that. Not fair, though. I did talk to you about this ... you cheated!! :P

I am glad you would accept, because things can be very awkward, though. I had a hard time not chickening out on this one, but I followed through ... *grins*

Thanks for your reply

Thank you Chillyfrog,

Actually I didn't do this as in playing mindgames, though. I hate that kind of stuff. Although, I made her wonder a little bit, I did come out the same day to introduce myself. You know, I was actually pretty bad, because I told a co-worker from her that I would do it. He had a ball over this, because he had to work that day. I just wanted to make sure that she'd be fine and not freak out, so that he could back me up in case she would collapse or so ... remember... I didn't know her

Well I read the title, and I thought I was about to get some flowers or something....lol

Ok well you know, this actually sounds like me... I hate to pass up a chance to me someone that seems interesting. So I would just love this idea.
Would I accept date? Depends on who walks through the door. I dont mean looks per say, but if the guy made me feel strange or seemed "off" of course I would say...you know I have a boyfriend but thank you.

But yes I think its sweet.

Of course you are groooovey!! and hey you didn't say I couldn't reply on the boards!!!

*sends you a hug across the miles!*

((actually kinda jealous of the girl!))

Thank you Segagirl,

You would accept, too, eh? Interesting... wondering where all the guys are!! *grins*. I understand that you wouldn't 'date' just anyone, because of what happened. I wonder: how special does a lady feel when this happens to her? I mean, this should boost her ego pretty much, no??

I like that idea, and will keep it in mind for possible use one day. I think that the hardest part is aproaching the girl once the flowers are sent. I mean I am a big guy (6'3" and 205lbs) but nothing is harder for me than rejection, especially the fear of rejection. But regardless I like this idea.
Anyway what happened?

Okay swing so when you broke the ice...what happen?
