Send flowers to say "I'm Sorry"


Flowers seem to enter our lives at pivotal moments. I've talked before about how flowers dramatically influenced the course of my relationship with my wife. What I didn't tell you was that I sent her flowers to say I'm sorry. Sometimes I'm not the best communicator. Sometimes things go wrong between me and the people I care about and I can't find the right words to apologize.

Sometimes saying "I'm sorry" is more effective when you send a gift.

I don't know what you need to apologize for. Maybe you forgot an important date like an anniversary or Valentine's Day. Maybe you had a dumb argument. Maybe you blew off cleaning the gutters to watch videos on YouTube all day. 

If you need to say "I'm sorry", consider sending a gift of flowers along with your apology. 

Remember, the vast majority of women would love to receive flowers as a gift. The vast majority of women have NEVER received flowers as a gift. 

I think that's a tragedy, but for you, it's an opportunity.

Because women so rarely receive flowers as a gift, especially in the form of an apology, you have an opportunity to blow her away with your sincerity and depth of feeling. Once she has the flowers, what you say almost becomes irrelevant. A simple handwritten "I'm sorry" will get your point across.

This advice will not work if you have serious problems. If you're cheating, if you lost your car at the casino, if you're running a multi billion dollar Ponzi scheme, flowers can't help you. Go call Dr. Phil and probably a lawyer. 

If she's mad at you, an apology will make her just be not mad at you. Flowers will make her like you MORE. Everybody wins!
