Hi Col, Hi Barry,

May I add my two bobs worth.

Go to the florist buy one rose. $5
A week later do it again. One rose.

Maybe a third. then nothing for a fortnight.
That does wonders to soften the blow. Waiting the extra time does not then make it look you were wanting something. However the buttering up works well. She will find it hard to refuse outright.

3xroses = $15
softening up = priceless

Cheers

Haha, reminds me of The Big Bang Theory:

Leonard phones the florist...

Florist:...
Leonard: Yes, how much for 100 long-stem red roses?
Florist:...
Leonard: Really? How much for three?




Cheers
Steffen.
