Ouch

By Roses are Red - 07/03/2013 06:07 - United States - Ridgeland

Today, I sent a dozen roses and a hand-written, heart-felt note to my ex-girlfriend to show her that I'm still madly in love with her. When I asked if she got the flowers I sent, she replied, "Yeah but you got the wrong color. You should've gotten yellow, that stands for friendship." FML

It's tough, but if she's not interested you need to move on.

She could have at least said "thank you"

I feel your pain. I'm kind of going through the same thing. The best thing you (we) can do is move on. At least she's being honest and not giving you false hope. :-/

yellow roses actually mean 'eternal love' from what i understand. maybe it was a hint? but then again maybe she was just being unnecessarily picky. either way, fair play for putting yourself out there, unfortunately it didnt work out this time but now you can start looking for the girl who deserves you :)

Hm, if you guys have broken up with each other, chances are that she just isn't interested in you anymore. There was really no point at all in sending roses and a note to a girl who doesn't want to be in a relationship with you; they would have been a lot more appropriate when you were still going out. I can see how the situation could make your girlfriend feel awkward, BUT I agree with everyone else who says she could have at least thanked you.

She broke up with the OP. That isn't a hint or a suggestion. It is a straight and honest statement that she isn't interested. Get a grip and move on. Don't be pathetic.

You kind of deserve it. I'm getting the feeling that she's the one that broke up with you, in which case it doesn't matter how "madly in love" you are, she doesn't want to be in a relationship with you, and you need to respect that. It's hard, I know, but you need to come to terms with it. You can't move on if you don't accept it first. And just to clear up the rose colour thing: yellow roses do symbolise friendship in most places. In the Victorian era (I might be off, but I'm almost positive that's when it was) they did, in fact, represent jealousy and infidelity, but I'm pretty sure that's only in Germanic countries now. Correct me if I'm wrong, of course. Red is love, pink is admiration, white is purity and/or new beginnings, lavender is enchamtent/"love at first sight".

I agree with you on the first part, but living in a Germanic country (the Netherlands) I can tell you yellow roses to me are also a sign of friendship, not jealousy. Still, they might perhaps still mean jealousy in other countries, IDK!

60 - Thanks for the correction! I remembered reading that somewhere, but I know you can never 100% trust something you read on the Internet, so it's nice to have someone who knows first-hand tell me what's right :)

I want to click both, FYL because still being in love with an ex sucks, and YDI because sending an ex roses etc. is somewhat creepy.
