What's romantic about cut flowers?

Once you cut flowers, they're going to die. Maybe not today, and maybe not tomorrow, but soon.

What's romantic about that?

I don't mind when people who don't know me well buy me flowers. If someone comes over for dinner and wants to bring flowers, I appreciate the gesture.

But as a romantic gesture, I just don't see it. I don't enjoy watching things die.

Give me chocolate, any day.
