... send flowers.

Or, present them in person.  

On second thought, if possible, they should always be presented in person.

Now, this is no big secret.  Girls like flowers.  ALL girls like flowers.  I don't care if they say they don't, they do.  for several reasons.

• Girls are pretty... and soft.  So are flowers.  It is a natural fit.

• They can put them in a vase and display them in their house.  Therefore, whenever someone sees them they can brag on you.  

• Even if they say they don't like flowers, they like being appreciated.  There are few better ways to appreciate a woman than surprising her with flowers.
  

So, in my research I found out a few things that can guide us in our endeavor.  Unfortunately, one of the things I found was that all women are different.  Seriously... I couldn't believe it either, but they are.  Here are some guidelines:

1. DON'T BUY CARNATIONS!  -  This is the one thing that I heard from every single girl that I talked to.  I don't know why... don't really care.  Just don't do it.
2. "Flowers" does not always mean a dozen roses.  You have to know what will make your girl feel great.  Perhaps tulips.  Perhaps a sunflower.  Perhaps something you picked on the side of the road.  If you don't know what kind of flowers she would like, you have greater things to worry about than sending flowers.
3. Don't send flowers in the mail.  If you are not around to deliver yourself you need to pay the extra money to have a local shop drop them off.

Get to know your local florist, or start growing some in a pot because this is a trick that every man should have up his sleeve.
