Today, my girlfriend came home with a huge bouquet of roses. They were from an admirer, brainwashing her to think I'm a terrible boyfriend for not buying her flowers like he did. FML

Someone needs to step up in the romance department. Although, she probably bought them herself.

Find out who it is and kick his ass. Whoever it is, is an ass for interfering in your relationship in such an immature manner whether you're a shitty boyfriend or not.

And kicking the guy's ass for giving his gf flowers isn't also immature?

Uh... I can understand being upset about some random guy putting the moves on your girlfriend, but what is up with that last part? "He's obviously brainwashing her to think I'm terrible!" The only time I've heard people come to that sort of conclusion were overly possessive and abusive. If you feel like flowers are enough to make you look bad, maybe you are just bad...

cant win with women bro. you better buy her a bigger bouquet of roses!

Sounds like your already aware that you're not romantic enough OP if you know the reason why she would accept another persons flowers. Step up the romance. Ive never understood why guys think its ok to not bring flowers and treat us like ladies anymore. Thats one thing i hate about our generation. Not many guys understand the importance of romancing their girl...

Because "romancing their girl" by buying her expensive and cliche things like flowers and jewelry is bullshit, imo. It objectifies the relationship and her worth as a romantic partner.

It's hard to expect to be treated like Buckingham Palace when you behave like Jersey Shore. People have started behaving in a modern way in everyday life, but still yearn for the old romantic ways in love. Not everyone can make that transition easily, nor do they all know how.

Try getting her a potted plant. Roses die so quickly that they aren't worth it. Getting a potted rose if they are her favorite. Most girls want to know that you know them well enough to know what their favorite is. I have a potted lily that my husband got me and I look at it every day and smile!

I have the black thumb of death when it comes to caring for plants. Buy me a book as a present and I'm in heaven! lol

My boyfriend got me books for Christmas last year. It was the sweetest gift ever.

If its been a long term relationship try surprising her with something. Take her dancing, camping. Do something just the two of you to bring back a little spark. She may not have been trying to rub it in your face. Sometimes it's just nice to get flowers. I buy them from my mum every so often. She hasn't left you for the admirer so you are in a perfect situation to do something spontaneous to surprise her. As much as girls say they don't want flowers or anything expensive once in a while flowers can be cute. Try to remind her of why she fell in love with you by going back to the days when you were dating and take her out for a nice night!

I like flowers, a lot, buy it is a waste of money since they die and there is nothig left, better buy something usefull for that money.

Girls can be manipulated so easily. Especially ignorant ones. FYL OP.
