One More Time (before Valentine's Day)

I posted this before (TWICE) but I feel the need to share it once again. Valentine's day IS getting closer, am I right (just nod yes, men)?!

Rose Colors Decoded
(taken from a local paper)


red- Love, desire, courage, good job

dark red- Unconscious beauty

pink-Perfect happiness, admiration

dark pink- Appreciation, gratitude

light pink- Admiration, sympathy; grace joy

yellow- Joy, Friendship, delight, gladness

coral/orange- Desire, enthusiasm

black- Death

lavender- Love at first sight, enchantment

peach- Let's get together, closing of the deal

white- Purity, innocence, secrecy, silence

pink and white- I will always love you

red and yellow- Passionate thoughts

white and red- Unity


Many of you (and when I say you...I am speaking towards the men, ladies don't need to be told this) are asking yourself,...

"Great, so how does that help me pick the right colors?"

I'm going to tell you. There are some in which you won't want to get your lady.


Peach- Let's get together, closing of the deal --this is not very appropriate as women don't want flowers for "the closing of the deal" if you know what I mean...And getting together to us should still involve love and passion...Those types of things.
So, NO peach!

Black- Death --even if someone dies....NEVER send a girl/woman black flowers! (Unless you're dating a Goth chick and then by all means send them, just don't forget to get her those custom fangs she's been wanting for so long.)

Yellow- Joy, Friendship, delight, gladness --We DO NOT want to be remembered or thought of in terms of friends on Valentine's Day. Even if that's all we are...You could be more creative and send, oh, say...Any shade of pink or even white.

Note: Anything that says something about secrecy, sympathy, or silence should also be accompanied by a card so that your lady will KNOW FOR SURE why you are sending her that particular rose color. You see we know that they mean more than one thing and we want to make sure of which one you are referring too.

Just remember: KISS

K-keep

I-it

S-simple

S-stupid

Your simple, basic reds or lavender are sure to win your ladie's heart (unless she doesn't like roses and then it's just hopeless, K).
