Most men seem to forget or have never understood what being a gentleman is. I may be a dinosaur, but I was raised you NEVER arrive for a date without flowers. I always open car doors for ladies. I still would never have sex without love being there.
Part of your problem is not all men still believe like this. It isn't all their fault though. I have had women be offended because I insist on paying the check for dinner and try be a gentleman. they feel it is demeaning. It isn't... it's called respect.
I agree women should have the same rights as men and equal opportunities, but some women took the idea of being "liberated" too far and found everything offensive when men wanted to be a gentleman. Unfortunately, now some have unwittingly trained men to not treat them as ladies.
You sound like a woman that is deserving of being shown love and respect. I'm sorry if men haven't been able to see that.
Do yourself a special favor... Honor yourself with going to a flower shop and buy yourself one flower and write on the card "to me From me with Love" You deserve to jave your self confidence lifted. When you do, just remember online someone somewhere thinks you are worth the attention.

hi how about the saying "treat them mean keep them keen !!!" look its not the end of the world if youve never recieved roses the poor guy more than likely has more sense than go to the expense of a dozen red roses ,and before you think oh ive recived the 12 red roses thing ,no ,but what i have got out of my relationships now is worth more than a dozen red flowers ,its real honesty and love nd trust and if you have that in youre relationship then that is more precious than any flower ,it wont wilt and die it grows stronger ,so if you can say that is what is in youre relationship ,then sweetheart youre more lucky than the one that gets the red roses ,and you never know it could all be for show ,you never know what goes on behind there closed doors ......take care xx

I think maybe you have dated guys that are selfish. Some men only give roses when they think that the woman is not quite "theirs" yet- it's a courtship ploy. If these guys see you are a giving person they may be under the impression that you don't need flowers to coax you into being generous to them. And some guys only give flowers out of guilt. Maybe you should speak up- let them know it sucks that they are not generous with you, drop hints that you love flowers, mention how sad it is that less deserving girls receive them.
Or find yourself a guy that will treat you like a queen and give you flowers just because he wants to. Almost every woman deserves them, no matter what she looks like.

It sounds like you're being a doormat for your men. It's one thing to treat your man well....it's totally another thing to put up with him not reciprocating...ever. It sounds like you let men walk all over you, take advantage of you and you probably put off a vibe of weakness. They know they can exploit you and you'll just put up with it. Strong women put off a certain vibe. They can be loving and generous but they usually attract men who WANT to treat a woman well.

When you find that special someone that you want to marry and spend the rest of your life with, try not to give it up so quickly and then maybe he will have some respect for you and buy you roses.

:) you're not doing anything wrong. listen honey, you need to let your man know what makes you feel loved, and that is a little gift or flowers. tell him, look, i'd love some flowers, that would really make me feel cared about. i'd love a little something now and then, chocolate, jewelry, a card, etc... things like that would really let me know you care and would really make me happy. i tell my husband, flowers are always in the budget. i have to remind him because it doesn't come naturally for him.

Have you ever thought that maybe the type of guys that you date aren't "Nice Guys"?
Honestly, I TRULY believe that at an subconcious level..
women are ATTRACTED to Alpha-male type men..
in other words...
the jocks or jerks..
tought guys..
extremely confident..
i would buy you roses...
but I don't believe you would ever be interested in a guy like me.. because believe it or not..
i'm one of those nice guys..
but, i'm extremely confident and secure in my skin..
think about your b/fs...
are they.. nice guys?
if not..
you have your answer

you give too much.
withhold the sex until you get the roses.
i used to grow my own for my girlfriends. red Mr. Lincolns, 2' stem, bloom the size of your open hand.
but, they would always leave me for the guy that never gave them roses, so i stopped.
