Most of the stuff you can pluralise either way. 😉 “Radiuses” would be weird, but if “forums” are okay… 😛

Well, I kinda have to give her roses now, because she already knows that she’s getting roses. I had initially wanted to give her gerbera daisies, but since her favorite is roses, I decided to give her roses. I’m pretty sure I’m going to do pink roses.

That was a tip from an elderly flower lady I sorta had special terms with. As in I only went to her and she would get me good deals and advice. And who better knows what young women like receiving? 😛 That is, if memory isn’t failing me. It was long ago. White dressing goes well with it (asparagus and/or some ornate polypody or whatever they have) and paper wrapping won’t hurt. Beware bands and ribbons - don’t overdo those. You can ask the flower lady for advice as to the details. I’d go for short stems, but you’re you, so you gotta pick on your own. I’m not sure you made the right choice, but I’m proud of you. 😛
 
How about a single pink rose in the middle of some daisies (or simple white flower)?
 
My friend, we could talk about the type of gift all week long, but please understand that a gift will not help build her attraction for you. In fact, it may even come across as a needy and manipulative action–“I gave her flowers, now she’ll have to go out with me!” A gift for her family members would almost certainly come across as manipulative. I am sure your heart is in the right place, but this is the unfortunate reality.

Gifts are great, and necessary, for later stages of a relationship. But they are not so helpful at the start of one.

At this stage, what you need to do is express confidence and independence, because that will be far more intriguing to her. You can do that through a gift, or you can do that in other ways. For example, you could get her a small bouquet that YOU happen to like, without “asking her permission” first. She is meeting you because she wants to learn what kind of person YOU are (the same way you are interested to learn who she is), so the sooner you show her, the better! Prayers coming your way,

Chris
 
Alright, I just bought “The Four Loves” by C. S. Lewis. I will give it to her at the end of the trip, if things go well.
 
Can’t believe I’m going to see her in a week. Getting a little nervous. Going to call the florist tomorrow, and the book should arrive next Tuesday.
 
Flying out there tomorrow! Woohoo! Will give you guys an update when I get back.
