my boss gave roses to all the women in the office and chocolates to men. one of my male officemate traded his chocolate for a rose to one girl so that he could give the rose to another girl he likes as a valentine's day present! what a cheapskate!!

both of them are in the same office... she knows that the rose was from our boss and not from him... i dont think you can consider that being "thoughtful".

the idea of giving flowers or gifts is to show people how special they are to you..obviously he didn't think she was even worth going out and getting an original rose (pry $5)that had other greenery too..ewww!!

The questioner and most answerers are incredibly shallow.
He bought the rose using a chocolate. Why do you fault him for that?
I'd feel the same way if the rose were purchased new, picked from a garden, or bartered.
A rose, no matter how acquired, smells just as sweet.

I don't think it was cheap. I think he took the easy route, yes, but at least he was thinking of whoever he gave it too.
I guess I'm old fashioned in the sense that I'm happy if I get anything for holidays simply because someone had me in their thoughts.

i'd feel like im with a loser who doesnt take me into consideration. Money is not everything, it's the thought that counts but in that case, he didnt even give her that.

Well maybe he saw it as a cute and flirty way to get her attention w/out her thinking that he's crazy or wants to get serious too fast.
