Reply #16: Personally, I have no objection to roses [View All]

or flowers or diamond rings or anything romantic.

But every time I have received roses - especially from men I've known for a long time, especially from men to whom I have said, "Roses don't mean anything to me. I would rather have a kiss, or a hug, or a smile... something more personal..." - I couldn't help but feel a little insulted. It's as though they though I was playing a game. "She says she doesn't want it; she must really, really want it."
