If you really love a girl, you can’t give her flowers from 7 Eleven. You just can’t. I’ve seen romances either end abruptly or painfully prolong due to the quality of flowers given by the well-meaning suitor and since this is cuffing season the season for engagements and ‘official’ courtships all you boys must step up your wooing game. The first, and most important, weapon added to your charismatic arsenal has to be a great florist. A well picked arrangement can get your foot in her door of interest. The girl that’s out of your league may consider a first date when she knows you buy your flowers like a man – with thought and consideration for her personality and person. Every woman wants to feel as if each bud was thoughtfully and carefully picked just for her. I know what you’re thinking but that lovely bouquet from Trader Joe’s will only hint toward you being lazy and immature. Maybe she likes that about you but probably not. Buy those buds for your mother not your girlfriend/wife/future wife.

I’m rooting for you. Go get her tiger!
