Back to flowers.
Back in the day, We convinced a shy buddy of ours to by a rose from the 'Rose Girl' who sold them at local night clubs and walk up to this girls he had been obsessed with all night and tell her that she deserves a rose.

Well he did, but when she asked "why?", he lost it and retreated when he couldn't figure out what to say.

Moral of the story, she thought his flustered retreat was so sweet, she hunted him down and they have been a happy couple ever since.

With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.
