I would accept the flowers to say Thank You for thinking of me. If the person making the advances was a love interest, then yes, I would accept the advances. If not, I would find a nice way to say not interested.

the roses okay but not advances if unwanted

If it was someone that i had my eye on for a while I would accept both otherwise i would take the roses and run.

We're not a very romantic bunch are we? I have received 1 flower before today but with the exorbitant cost of more than a dozen roses today, I'd rather be asked out for a coffee and a nice conversation.

I would accept the roses with thanks and goodbye. However I don't expect anyone to send me any flowers as I have enough flowers in my garden to fill a few vases each week.

Good to know who sent it first. Might be wrong address??

i love dozen Roses

would love just one rose.

RTS unless it comes with a barrel of Whiskey..

most appreciative of any kindness

If someone likes me they don't need roses, just an honest chat about the subject will do me

Accept them if you like the sender and take it from there or accept them and respect the sender enough to let them know you appreciate the gesture but don’t want to go any further

is it an advance or just a nice gesture - depends on the context

Depends on who sent the roses, This kind of advance often ends in tragedy.... And accepting should only be if your recepricate the admiration.

Are we receiving them on valentine's day or is it just a random anonymous gesture. Do we know who the person is? Sounds like fun only if it is genuine anyway that person thinks highly of you and don't we give things a go and succeed or fail anyway.

Accept

I'd accept them if from my partner, otherwise I'd turn them away and tell them they're barking up the wrong tree.

I would love it !! Bit of fun in this boring Covid world. Send away ! lol

Depends on who sent them!

what advances? can't giving someone roses just be a simple gesture of love? Everyone should send everyone flowers just because... it would make more people smile!

......personally would prefer Roses chocolates, preferably a big box!! :-)

Advances ? Never! I'd tell him to look for a Cheaper catch to give the roses to.

I'm a bloke and don't get roses, but I give them.

I would definately keep the roses. Beautiful.

That's a tough one...It all sounds very flattering...I'll have to think about it...

There are many reasons for beautiful scenery of roses ??but it depends if you want or deserve it ????

It depends who it is

It depends entirely on the circumstances. I would be very cautious ........ I would just thank them for the flowers and see what happens............ I love roses.......

Let me assure you if a bloke sent me red roses, get would get them back real quick

Depends entirely on the person. If I wasn't interested I would not accept them. If they wouldn't take them back I would bin them and make sure he knew I don't want anything to do with him.

I guess that is up to you and if you are interested in the person who sent them. I love roses and we grow our own so no one needs to send me any. However it is exciting and if you truely like the person call ( if you can.) Say Thank you for the roses and see what happens next. They may ask you out on a date, dinner, or a movie, or some thing just as romantic. A picnic in a park. Obviously some one is interested in you, either enjoy their company or let them down gently. I have met a few older women who are fine on their own and don't want the physical side of a relationship so they choose to stay single. It's okay to have men friends with no pressure on a physical realationship as some just enjoy their company and the odd date or two. Have fun deciding.

It would depend on the person

love roses i would except them all depends on who sent them would i thank

I agree with Doreen A.

I would wonder why there were so many. I always like to have one rose from one heart to another as red as the heart itself from me to you admiration and thinking of you for any reason and remembering what you are like. I do not believe you need a dozen roses but one real rose to give to your most loved one.

What's the reason for the specific amount of MORE than a dozen?

I agree with Roslyn. Lovely thought and my choice what happens next

depends if I like them to, but I grow my own roses and pick them when I want to.

I would accept the roses and gracefully decline any other advances

I'd accept them just before I died from shock. They could accompany me to the funeral home!

Yes I would accept.

I would love some roses! Anybody can send them. What happens next is my choice.

Made that mistake very early in our relationship, Sent roses and copped it big time. Didn't know that she suffered was allergic to pollens

I would accept with appreciation the gift as just that with no hidden expectations from the sender.

If you accept the roses you accept the advances

As I do not know who sent them I will accept them. I no it was not my husband as he thinks it is a wast of money.

So this reminds me of a joke I know, 2 women were chatting over the fence on a Friday afternoon, when 1 spotted her husband walking down the road carrying flowers. She said to her friend , oh no, you know what that means, another weekend spent on my back. Her friend replied, what, don't you own a vase !!!! Beware of vases bearing giftsEdited 28-Jan-22 08:03am

I dont know either depend where it came from

I don't know. I'd be carted off in an ambulance from collapse because anyone sent me something.

I’m planning on sending my surgeon’s office roses as a thank you so much for my results!

Refuse or accept the advances, but do not be dishonest. Or else you deserve the same.

I’d be gobsmacked but delighted all the same haha

MY WIFE AND I HAVE A BEAUTIFIL FLOWER GARDEN OF OUR OWN AND NEVER HAVE FLOWERS SENT TO US

Refuse - I'm allergic to most flowers and am happy with my current partner

Not keen on flowers. A decent Scotch on the other hand....

At my age, I'd be grateful for such a lovely gesture!

" Roses " Lucky You., What happen to the bottle of wine ?. Smell the Roses and drink the wine, and feel the warmth of the Sun everyday, and be thankful that we are alive.

I like chocolate candy better than dozen roses.

THE ROSES ARE ONLY TEMORARY & SO MIGHT BE THE RELATIONSHIP

I prefer chocolates.

Unless they are sent to me by my husband I would not accept them.

ENOUGH SAID

Make up your own mind. We can't make it up for you.

Depends on whether you know the person and whether you want to advance to a possible relationship or date with that person or not. In addition to that, for many years females considered having a "Secret Admirer" to be romantic, however these days because of the world we live in and the number of dangerous people out there, I would accept the roses and report it to the police for investigation because if they are from a crazy person / stalker and you refuse to accept the delivery and that person sees you rejecting the delivery it would anger them more. However, if the person sees you accepting them, he / she might take action to move to the next level

What a waste of money.

Depends on the person

Never been given a dozen roses, never mind red ones

I am definitely not the roses type; I would get in contact with the police.

There are only nine there...wait for the other three

You should call the Police as it is against all PC laws

The first flowers I ever received were from my boyfriend at the time. They were a lovely pink and I think there were a dozen. Long time ago now. I have received many flowers over the years but I prefer a mixed bouquet to just roses or any other singular flower variety. Just because someone has sent you flowers does not necessarily mean anything. If he/she wished to he/she could ask you out and then you can say yes or no. If you do not wish to pursue it further then of course you can refuse.Edited 28-Jan-22 12:44pm

If I weren't married, I would accept the flowers and a date. Why not? Might be the one!
