Giving flowers has been our family tradition. It is our way to express ourselves. To convey our feelings to the person we like. My mother said that my late father used to buy her flowers from Dangwa. He always dropped by there to make sure he had flowers to give whenever they met. Those little gestures won my mother's heart, and because of that, I want to do the same thing to the girl I am courting. I want to give her flowers whenever we meet, but I cannot get her one from Dangwa because of the heat and traffic. Even though I could drive to go there, it would take hours. More so, the flowers would no longer look fresh and presentable. Thus, since I do not want any of that to happen, I decided to get flower delivery in Makati. This option has saved me a lot, and thanks to them, I finally got to hear her sweetest yes. Here let me share with you what happened.
Swiping Right: How I Met Her
Okay, to begin with, my first and last relationship ended eight years ago and ever since I ever had anyone in my life again. Even though I want to, I cannot imagine going out with my co-workers nor my friends. That idea alone made me cringe. So, I decided to use a dating app like Tinder, and that was where I found her. I know it sounds cliché, but our connection is more than just a spark. You see, it took us six months before we decided to add each other on Facebook and another three months when we decided to meet in person.
At first, we were supposed to meet on Sunday night, but we were unavailable due to personal reasons. So, we decided to see each other on Friday night instead. Near BonChon in the Ayala Triangle at 7. Back then, I was so nervous, and I do not know what to do. It has been so long since the last time I courted a girl. Or rather, go on a date. It was then I remembered our family tradition. I decided to surprise her with a bouquet on the day we meet. Since Dangwa is too far away from Makati, I thought hard about where to buy flowers in this city.
Good thing that my co-worker was so nosy with my business and suggested that she knows an affordable flower shop in Makati. It was where her boyfriend got her a rose on her birthday day last year, and she mentioned that the flower looked amazing even after a week. Based on what she said, I decided to place my trust in this flower shop.
Getting Flower Delivery
I know what you were thinking, 'Wouldn't it be hard to buy flowers online?' Well, not really, since most things we could think of are now available for delivery. Also, we all know that when it comes to flowers, its fragrance matters a lot since most girls love to smell it, but that does not the only thing you should consider. You would also have to consider other things such as reading the reviews, navigating the website, and choose which flowers to get. Here, let me elaborate my points below.
Read Reviews
When I found the affordable flower shop in Makati that my co-worker suggested, I immediately checked their customer reviews. That way, I would find out whether she was telling the truth or not. You see, reading the customer reviews allow you to see what happened when they order a flower delivery. Did the courier arrive on time? Were the flowers okay and in good condition? Those were the pieces of information I found when I read their customer reviews. It helped me understand what kind of customer service I would receive if I decided to order their flowers.
Navigate the Website
It is necessary to do this, so you would have an idea what kind of a brand they are. When I first landed on their website, I found out immediately that they have different branches outside the Philippines. It means that they sell flowers internationally, and their reputation is well established worldwide. That helps me to understand why I should order from them. Their website alone gave me an idea of what kind of a flower shop they are, even though I have not gone there in person.
Let Your Instinct Guide You
Since I have no idea which flower to get for her, I decided to let my instinct—gut feeling—guide me. I told this flower shop in Makati to get the most affordable one with the pinkest colour. What I got was a bunch of pink tulips, and it looked so pretty. More so, when I received it an hour before I met her.
