A fellow was very much in love with a beautiful girl.
One day, she told him that the next day was her birthday.
He told her he would send her a bouquet of roses… one for each year of her life.
That evening, he called the local florist and ordered twenty-one roses with instructions that they be delivered first thing the next morning.
As the florist was preparing the order, he decided that since the young man was such a good customer, he would put an extra dozen roses in the bouquet.
The fellow never did find out what made the young girl so angry with him.

A young man wanted to purchase a gift for his new sweetheart’s birthday,
and as they had not been dating very long, after careful consideration, he decided a pair of gloves would strike the right note: romantic, but not too personal.
Accompanied by his sweetheart’s younger sister, he went to Nordstrom and bought a pair of white gloves. The sister purchased a pair of panties for herself.
During the wrapping, the clerk mixed up the items and the sister got the gloves and the sweetheart got the panties. Without checking the contents, the young man sealed the package and sent it to his sweetheart with the following note:
“I chose these because I noticed that you are not in the habit of wearing any when we go out in the evening. If it had not been for your sister, I would have chosen the long ones with the buttons, but she wears short ones that are easier to remove.
These are a delicate shade, but the lady I bought them from showed me the pair she had been wearing for the past three weeks and they were hardly soiled. I had her try yours on for me and she looked really smart.
I wish I was there to put them on for you the first time, as no doubt other hands will come in contact with them before I have a chance to see you again.
When you take them off, remember to blow in them before putting them away as they will naturally be a little damp from wearing.
Just think how many times I will kiss them during the coming year. I hope you will wear them for me on Friday night. All my love.
P.S. The latest style is to wear them folded down with a little fur showing.”

After being away on business, Tim thought it would be nice to bring his wife a little gift.
“How about some perfume?” he asked the cosmetics clerk.
She showed him a $50.00 bottle.
“That’s a bit much,” said Tim, so she returned with a smaller bottle for $30.00.
“That’s still quite a bit,” Tim complained.
Growing annoyed, the clerk brought out a tiny $15.00 bottle. “What I mean,” said Tim, “is I’d like to see something really cheap.”
The clerk handed him a mirror.
============================================
Nothing would please me more!
Husband: “Soon we will be married for 10 years. I will get you a nice new car for our anniversary.”
Wife: “Oh darling. Nothing would please me more!”
And so the husband got her nothing for the anniversary.
============================================
He stood on her porch, bouquet in hand, heart beating with the quiet tremble of someone not yet used to grand gestures.
The door opened. She appeared like sunlight—warm smile, soft eyes, the scent of vanilla trailing behind her. She saw the flowers and gasped, touched and surprised. Without hesitation, she closed the distance between them, threw her arms around his neck, and kissed him—sweet, quick, sincere. A thank-you sealed with affection.
But he froze for a moment, his body stiff with surprise. Not rejection—just the awkwardness of a soul unused to such sudden warmth.
She pulled back quickly, reading his hesitation with immediate concern.
“Oh—oh no,” she said, her voice soft with worry. “I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to offend you.”
He looked at her, eyes wide, cheeks tinged with the blush of boyish charm. And then, a slow, shy smile crept across his face as he took a step back.
“No,” he said gently, “I’m not offended at all.”
He turned, already heading down the porch steps.
“I’m going for more flowers.”
