Default Vday Imminent.

So sending flowers to your SO while she is at work: sweet and caring or tacky and lame? If it depends on situation, please describe why.

Female opinions also much appreciated.

You're trying too hard. That doesn't mean she won't like it, but you lose man points.

I think it's tacky and lame. Some women are attention whores though and want the attention at work. I'd say send it to her house or give them to her personally if you're seeing her on vday.

If she works with other women, and you are definitely sending them one place or the other, you need to send them to work.

In my experience, a lot of females absolutely -love- it. Mostly showing off to female coworkers how much their boy loves them.

I won't be sending flowers on Monday, but our wedding anniversary is later that week, so she'll be getting them then.

Depends on the women, you should know her well enough to know if she'll like it.

Manipulating women...now THAT's hard. Probably because most woman have no clue what they like.
