good manners i have, chocolate i can get, poetry, i'd prolly feel corny reading it anyway, so it looks like i'm set :)

Well, I guess there are two of us that think this. I agree candy, and flowers and stuff like that is getting a bit dull.

So what then do people like us want? Well, stuff that we personally like, obviously if you are going to the trouble to get us something, you know us well enough to know some of our interests.

Poetry eh?

I think I would feel offly silly reading poetry...

But beside that, what kinda poems and stuff work?

My research
 

..... to pick up girls all i do is pick up a video camera and have my friend video tape me talkin to her for a while then cut the camera off and talk to her off camera... worked for me every time... most of yall remember the camera guys ( black boys walkin around with a video camera recording stuff..... that was me and my friend) if you were in FLORIDA FOR THE NATIONALS...

Forget poetry...it's just to strange.

:confused:

this is a long thread.

I thought black roses were for funerals? Perhaps I was mistaken...

Ones that aren't corny...

I thought it was one of the lighter roses for funerals, Ben...

To Settle to Rose Meanings once and for all....
Black Roses signify undying love or death
Coral Rose conveys desire
Lavender Roses symbolize love at first sight and enhancement
Orange Roses indicate enthusiasm, desire and fascination
Pink (Deep) says Thank You
Pink (Light) Rose conveys admiration, gentleness, grace, gladness, joy and sweetness
Pink Rose carry the message of happiness, gracefulness and gentleness
Red Roses symbolize sincere Love, Respect, Courage & Passion
Red (Dark) Rose reveals unconscious beauty
Red (Single) means "I Love You"
Red & White Roses together signify unity
Single Rose in any color expresses simplicity and gratitude
White Roses express Purity/heavenly, secrecy, silence, innocence and charm
White (Bridal) Rose symbolizes a happy love
Yellow Roses indicate joy, gladness, friendship and "I Care"
Yellow Rose with Red Tip indicates friendship falling in Love

I'll take one of each, please!:D
(minus the bridal one, of course)


Would a bouquet of one of each be pretty, do you think?:D
(minus the bridal one, of course)

"Ones that aren't corny"....That really helps melissa ;) lol

...and now that I know what all those rose colours mean, I just need to find a store that would have tha appropreate colour for a first date...

BTW...What colour would work for a first date? I would think something not too strong (like black)...But not something weak and common (like red)...

Re: My research
 

I'll have to agree with you on this one. On Thursday night of the Nationals weekend a few friends of mine and I went to FSPA (Florida Schoolastic Press Association) Convention being held like 10 min from EPCOT where there are tons of girls from TV Production classes and Yearbook and Newspaper. I brought my camera along (Canon XL1 - very pro lookin) and even with all the other cameras there we ended picking up like 20 + girls. Cameras are exactly the way to go! Girls go nuts over em! So after this we had to bring it out during Nat'l. You may remember a few guys walking around through the pits and stuff asking if you had seen our "beachball" or if you were from Tennessee... I think that corny pick up lines plus a camera deffinitely nice way to go.

How about (with a cam of course):

"Hello, we're documenting the FIRST competition for our school (or maybe local TV channel if ur feeling lucky) and we want to get to know people from other teams, and other parts of the country. Can you tell us where you're from, and a bit about yourself"...cam goes off...u thank her, and then talk to her for a while...

OR, you could always just go up to a girl and talk to them?

What I mean by not corny is don't be sterotypical...girls usually don't like that..be original...

I think a light pink rose or a yellow would work well for a first date...

Boys and video cameras usually don't work for me...I rather juts have the guy come up and talk to me without the camera.

Maybe a yellow or pink (according to the list). I don't know.

Definitly pink, i think.

Ohh...I'm writing this down! Thanks for the tip, ladies!;)
