and she has been dating him for 4 months.. she got mad, called the florist to see how much they were, and then said she can not believe it!!!!

She is very upset.. she didn't even call him to thank him..........

what are your thoughts... should she be mad? do you think she should have gotten roses??????

So she calls him and tells him thank you but she doesn't really like carnations and would have prefered roses.. . and he's like well there was a fortune cokie thing that I could've wrote a message in and I thought you'd like these better...

he now feels bad and she feels alittle bad.. I don;t think this relationship will work.... maybe we shoud have a running bet on this one.... she's always entertainment for our office... the only single one left and not too smart

She's really upset bc they're carnations and not roses??!!? Are you freakin kidding me??!!?? She should be happy that she got anything!!! She should be thrilled that there's someone on this planet that wants to share V-day with her!! OMG, if I were him I'd dump her a$$ and find someone who appreciates the things he does. That was really sweet of him and she doesn't even have the decency to call and say TY!!!!! What a loser!! It's people like that that piss me off!!!!!

Let it out, Cindy, let it alllllll out!

Wasn't there a SATC episode based on carnations?

Anyway, she should be lucky she got ANYTHING. It's the thought that counts.

She is being rude and ungrateful! The guy deserves so much more credit and a better gf! JMO.

That is just wrong...I'd be so happy to be surprised at work with flowers.

IMO-greedy beeyotch.

whatever happened to the thought that counts. she should not be mad at all. with that kind of an attitude she's lucky she got that. i love carnations, i think they r so cute.

ditto - greedy ungrateful person - plain and simple.

i don't like carnations, but a gift is a gift, and she should be happy to even have someone in her life that thought about her.

I agree with this too. Carnations are not my favorite, but she should be happy with what she got. Flowers are way too expensive today anyway.

I'd be surprised too and would like them, after 4 months roses on Valentine's Day would probably send the wrong message.

It was very cool to see that other side of you!

Re: NWR: so this girl in the office got carnations from this guy...

This annoys me!!! Why would you be so materialistic about something like this. At least there was a thought there!!! Do you really need a 'specific' day to send someone flowers????

uggh, vent over!!!

I'm with the ladies on this one. She should be embarrassed of her actions. Clearly she doesn't like this guy, and is just looking for an excuse to get rid of him. If she really cared for him, she would be thrilled at anything she received today.

What ever happened to, 'It's The Thought That Counts.'?

Yes!!! That was actually the first thing that popped into my mind! When Berger gave Carrie the pink carnations!!!

Anyways, yes, the girl was 100% wrong. She is obviously a materialistic snob. I'd be happy with anything!

Re: NWR: so this girl in the office got carnations from this guy...

Wow, what a b*tch. She should be happy she got anything at all. Four months is not very long at all so she shouldn't even have expected anything!!!

Re: NWR: so this girl in the office got carnations from this guy...

Let us know if they make it to the 6 month mark with that attitude...

And if she is thinking marriage someday- he better be warned that she may do the same thing with a ring he (or any man) chooses ....

Re: NWR: so this girl in the office got carnations from this guy...

Carnations aren't my favorite either, they remind me way too much of funerals, but nonetheless I would be extremely happy over the gesture.

It may be his Freudian way of 'burying' that relationship.

Who calls a florist to find out the price?!

I can't believe it! How ungrateful

Re: NWR: so this girl in the office got carnations from this guy...

I think she;'s ebing ridiculous. Maybe he can't afford roses, especially with the inflated prices right now, or maybe he didn't want to make such a grand gesture at work since they've only been dating for 4 months! What an ingrate!
