lets say you say something thats constructive criticism to your significant other, they know what you are saying and know that its true but get hurt start crying cause it brought them to reality. We sort of talked it out but shes probably still upset or pissed or whatever you want to call it. Would going to their work place and giving them flowers the next day be a good thing or an AFC move. I feel kind of bad right now and I dont know what to do.

Dude, personally i think you can do it man, it will certainly bring a smile on her face.

Becareful not to overdo it, and dont give flowers again anytime soon.

Why?? You told her something that was true? Was it something that maybe kinda bothers you about her? Then you shouldn't be apologizing and bringing flowers says: SORRY, I was wrong.

Since you haven't mentioned the kind of criticism, I can't judge, but personally, I would try and make her see that even though what you said may have been a little harsh, there's ways for her to change it, or work on it or whatever. (since she's already admitted you were right)

IMO, major AFC move. So she got a little upset, doesn't mean you have to bring flowers to her work, man! The only time I ever got a girl flowers was after I cheated on this one girl many years ago. Somehow, the flowers worked lol.

Let me just make something clear.

There is nothing wrong with giving a woman flowers. It is an act of a gentleman.

BUT!

Don't do it unless she deserves it. If she doesn't show appreciation for you or high interest then DON't DO IT.

If you gave her constuctive criticism then let things be. Don't worry about it. Forget that conversation and focus on other aspects of your relationship.

If you give her flowers make sure it is for something she does well.

In other words, if she cooks for you then you can show apprecation by giving her some flowers.

remember It is a two way street. not a one way guilt trip for you.

It would be a nice gesture.

However it is massively cliche' and unoriginal so thats the main reason i wouldnt do it.

Okay so don't bring her flowers. Work with her. Everytime she says something bad about herself, tell her she is 'doing it again' and have her think of something about herself that is good or positive. You will help her build her selfesteem which is much more valuable then flowers.

Save the flowers or 'rewards' for other occasions like some of the other guys mentioned.

Dude, it would make me want to :kick: you. That's how AFC it is. Flowers are not for peacemaking.
