She is finally available and he pours his feelings out. Her response is that she doesn't reciprocate the feelings but values the friendship. That was this past weekend. On Monday he sent her a fruit bouquet. I haven't seen it, so if watermelon means something other than cantelope, I'll have to get more information. That's a joke but the rest is serious. My friend and I are both getting divorced. Neither one of us has dated for about ten years. We're confused to say the least. Old friends from college, always more romantic feelings on his side.

It depends! What brought him to get you this bouquet? What were the circumstances?

So what does it mean when someone sends a fruit bouquet? I've been trying to find anything on it on the web. Lame? Yes. Intentions? Just be friends? What are your thoughts? Late to the game here.

I'll try that. Excellent point as well Marina. And right on the money, she was mistreated and is suspicious. I'm not into the hallmark scene. Any gift I do give is personal, like the roses for example. I had good reason for the color and order. But that can wait until a better time. Good advice Khiem. I’ll try that.

When you give presents they make sure they are personal to her and not "generic Hallmark" type of presents. Thats what really impresses a girl. You said she had had some bad experiences before, make sure you go slow on her. Most likely she will be very suspicious about you. Just relax and give her a good time. Good Luck GFB,

They want you to do nice things to them... when it feels right (meaning timing... and reason). You don't do extra nice things to complete strangers, do you? If she doesn't already feel deeply connected to you for some reason.... doing too nice of a gesture will come across as "trying too hard". I would drop all of it… you can buy her the roses spontaneously while on the date… it’s better to make her feel like it’s a kind spontaneous gesture… than a “I’m trying really hard to impress you”

Although I do know enough about the girl that I chose the color and order carefully. She's a bit gun shy because of 'players' in the past. She's been looking for 'prince charming' but only found toads. The effect I'm hoping for is "WOW...Hmmm maybe....." Of course.
