A guy just spent way too much on an FTD bouquet for me. Should I tell him where to buy flowers in the future?

I'm not complaining, but I don't think this is what he had in mind -- and their prices are pretty steep. If it were you, would you rather go on believing you sent what was in the picture, or have the number of a good local florist? I'd like to get more flowers from him in the future!

it all depends on how you say it.





if you say it as "its the thought that counts, i love them, but i think you got ripped off" yes, you should tell him.





i would just thank him, tell him they are pretty and all that, then say, "anytime you need to send flowers to anyone, i think you will get a better deal here. you should try them next time."





making it clear that YOU are not demanding flowers from somewhere, that you are helping him buy flowers for ANYBODY for ANY reason, makes the difference.





if i sent you what i thought were long stem roses, and you got what looked dead weeds, i would want to know about. or if you knew a florist that had better deals, i would want to know about it.


it would also be nice to know she wants something cheaper, too many keep track of how much the guys spends. if he gets the best flowers for half price, she is insulted.





you could also thank him in person or by phone, then send an email, or just casually mention the better florist when you see him. separate the two issues to make it clear your not complaining.





guys need help, we dont shop. we just see it and buy it.
Reply:Dont say a word about that. Just show gratitude. This is how he is. It is a compliment to you. It is an education as to how he would be if you married him and you may not like that kind of extravagance. To tell him what you propose would be controlling, so that is an education to you about how you want to be in a relationship. So this is why we date, to learn.
Reply:Just sit back and smell the roses ...
Reply:Just thank him for the flowers. I think it would hurt his feelings if you mention them being too expensive.
Reply:Don't tell him it is the thought that counts. He will see it for himself when he gets to your house or office. I think it would just make him feel bad and make you look picky if you said anything. just accept his gift gratefully.
Reply:NO.....that would be tacky...let him do it on his own.....let him find out for himself.......he is a big boy.....
Reply:without mentioning the FTD gift.


Mention that you found these beautiful flowers at this local shop around the corner etc.. or take him there with you. show him what you like....Yes tell him politley
Reply:Thank him profusely! I wouldn’t mention anything about another florist because I think that kind of puts him on the spot. Like you’re expecting more flowers- (well yes, you are but he’s supposed to get that on his own). Guys are pretty smart. If the flowers are hurting his wallet pretty bad- you’d think he’d figure out how to save. Maybe he’d ask his buddies. Is there a buddy you could say something that would get to him in a roundabout way? Don’t think too much about it. Just enjoy them!
Reply:Yes.
Reply:If you want to keep receiving flowers from him, just let him buy flowers for you.


Let him treat you!


I would definitely NOT tell a guy where to order a bouquet for me.


It's sweet that he wants to send you flowers. He probably uses FTD because it's well known.


You telling him exactly what florist to use would possibly hurt his feelings. Try showing him the flowers.


Say "Aren't the flowers you sent to me so beautiful?"


that way he can SEE exactly where his money went. If he says "Oh, I thought it would be bigger..etc.." He'll know to look for or maybe even ask you what florist you use.


I would just let him do things on his own, his own choices.


Maybe that's exactly what he had in mind for you. So assuming he meant bigger etc...may not be a good thing.


If you say "I thought you meant for this bouquet to be bigger


But that is just me.


I like for my man to think/do for himself w/o having to run around behind him saying 'Order my flowers from here.' etc...


If he specifically asks you, then I'd say something...


otherwise, I'd just smile and accept the flowers with excitement and joy!
Reply:Just thank him, and be gracious about it. The next time you are having a conversation, get around to telling him about a good local florist shop that you know, just act like you saw some bouquets they did and they looked really nice, blah, blah, blah. He should get the point.
Reply:i'd tell him.....you sound really considerate and he will most likely be thankful that you were honest with him and that he will not have to empty his wallet again!....good luk
Reply:Tell him !! Also let him know how much you appreciate the flowers, you just didn't want him to waste his money at a bad florist. Maybe walk into a florist with him and comment on how beautiful there flowers always are.
Reply:if u want to get more flowers form him in the future u can just sit back and relax he... on day when ur just sitting there with nothing to do u can simply say WOW those flowers that u got me the other day were abasutly beautiful or when ur outside or at a park and u see flowers u can say those ones are nice and if hes a smart enough of a guy he will get this hint!
