Ok so I've messed up and need to grovel, going to start with some flowers. I have had no experience with online florists, are there any ones in particular that stand out?

My wonderful girlfriend lives 300 miles away so a reliable delivery service is a must

I know it shouldn't be a factor but reasonable prices would be nice being a student and all...

Thanks in advance

Sparx

pffft. Life's too short. She'll either get over it or not - whichever way, it doesnt matter 😉

Done this a couple of times and Interflora seem to have women on the other line of the phone who can pick out the right bunch in this situation without you even seeing them or being near a computer!

I have just googled for a local florist and asked them to deliver.

Jesus you don't want to be setting this sort of precedent in your relationship, so 2nd stoner.

More importantly.... What have you done?

More importantly buy her flowers when you HAVEN'T screwed up!

Very good point, then she won't know when you're feeling guilty in the future either!

Can i suggest you cease screwing stuff up asap. Learn you will NEVER win. This is the way of Nature and The Plan.

By doing this myself i have saved a fortune in present/flowers.

Therefore every gift is given with positivity and no negativity.

Happy to help.

I think the local florist is a good idea, along with stopping myself from screwing up in the future.

Long distance relationships are hard but this girl is worth it.

Just messing. 8)

Thing is, she will be expecting flowers.

How about taking a day off. Get the train there. Walk into her office/place of work/house, say nothing, go to kiss her but don't quite, then turn and walk away.

Run to train home and don't answer phone for 24hrs.

It will go well.

How about, and it's a bit of a long shot I know, you do what adults do and apologise, say it won't happen again and let that be the end of it?

thebikechain - WTF? 🙄

Been watching an officer and a gentleman again? 😀

I think the online florists use a local florist-do they not.
Sparx-if you let me know your GF address I could pop round personally 8)
EDIT- if she's near, with flowers obviously!

handwritten letter would be a good call i reckon include in the letter an offer of something to make up for you being a nob.

flowers are better than nothing. but going and saying sorry in person is much better than flowers. appreciate you might not be able to do that straight away.. but taking a weekend out and changing the plans you had to go and grovel/show you appreciation of your wonderful girlfriend would earn big points in my book.

we don't ask for much 8)

Yes, but better still - you get your arse up there, imo.

Of course it all depends what you mean by "I've messed up". If you've just been stroppy on the phone then forget it, but if you've been caught with your pants down, then get moving. imo

Haven't been caught with my pants down, but my girlfriend pretty much thinks I'm romantically involved with a really close female friend.

Me being Mr clever clogs told a fib about seeing this friend, consequently i got found out and have given my girlfriend 'proof' that something is going on.

Hmmm, you ****ed up, you ****ed up big, and you didn't evey get to have 'bubba' sparx out for some fun.

You might as well have as she's going to be thinking.... Revenge!

You don't want to send flowers... 24 hour surveillance is more appropriate.

yeah.. flowers won't cut it. being serious here, I might be worried about sending them - could almost be seen as a guilt-ridden gesture. I might be over-thinking it, but hey, I'm a girl..

this is me assuming you haven't sorted it all out yet. if your girlfriend has already forgiven you, then fair enough, flowers are appropriate.

I was afraid of the flowers being seen as a guilty gesture. Might let her cool off first and talk things through.

Ive used proflowers.com a few times to send flowers back to UK to family etc. Sure they use local florists, but not sure which ones!

its a US based company, cheaper than any UK company i found to deliver the same thing, and ive had nothing but good reports on the flowers they send.

Yep. A 300 mile train journey will prove that it's [i]her[/i] you care about - not the "close female friend".

An interflora delivery will make her think that you reckon it's ok to screw around as long as you send her a bunch of flowers every now and again.

.....and don't lie in future 💡

Certainly not going to happen again! until I can get down I'm going to attempt a hand written letter perhaps with a little parcel of things that mean something to both of us, photos etc

Better start making it up to her, cheers guys and girls.

The witty comments didn’t go unnoticed, they did make me chuckle

If you do want to send flowers now or at some other point in the future - then Imogen Stone are great. I think I normally click through Quidco or some other site and get cashback.

some do but you will be massively over charged, better to find a local shop, quality will be better even if the price is similar*

Give it a more personal touch and send her something you have grown your self. Maybe some hair or nail clipping perhaps an arrangement of both to really show how much she means to you.

That sounds like a recipe for an ex-boyfriend bin bonfire.

Get your arse up there, and take her away for a night to talk things over with no-one else around. Tell her how you really feel about her, and if she really is "The One", beg, grovel, and make sure she knows you're not just doing it to fool her into taking you back.

If she really feels the same way about you, and is just pissed off about the breach of trust, she'll take you back. Otherwise I'm afraid you'll just have to accept that it's over, and find someone else. There's no point dragging a relationship on when one doesn't trust the other, as both will end up getting hurt.

dowse yourself in petrol beneath her bedroom window and should there be any post coital smoking occuring within her residence the fireball from their disguarded ciggerettes will not only make her truely sorry but she'll feel guilty for the rest of her life.

On a serious note M and S flowers are always top notch and last for ages. They would suit your needs.

Agree with the local florist, paying Interflora means that they get a cut, and you/she gets less flowers.

Give them a call, they may know her already 😆

Save yourself the 300 mile train journey and become romantically involved with the 'close friend'...

If she suspects your having another relationship and you have given her more evidence to the contrary then the writings on the wall, was she just angry about it, did she tell you were to go, or was/is she in tears over it...how does she feel about you?

Long distance relationships are difficult at the best of times, so I reckon you should sh@g this mate of yours and make it worthwhile and give yourself a plan B.

Otherwise make the 300 mile journey to prove how you feel about your GF.

I don’t think flowers are going to cut it. Your girlfriend lives 300 miles away, she doesn’t trust you, and you’re lying to try and avoid her unjustified jealousy. You’ve lied, and in her mind justified her not trusting you. From the sounds of it, your relationship has more problems than a hand tied bouquet can fix, sadly. :s

never seen the point in sending something that withers and dies..... she might take it to be a metaphor for your relationship.

long distance can only work if you trust each other. i was living in england and the GF in Germany for ~5 years, although i made it over every two months when work was dry.

the GF has a few male mates from uni with whom she'll talk for ages. this to me is a sure sign that nothing was ever going on. what man can speak to a women for 4+ hours?
i can't say that i was so well behaved. it was quite a cushy set up really as i had the bachelor thing in the UK and the GF thing in germany. now i've just got the GF thing.....

if you really care get your arse down there or shout at her on the phone about her being too possesive and that you only lied because you knew this is how she'd react. ****ing woman!

This is genius. 😀

I have to say, with the benefit of 10 years hindsight there is absolutely no way I'd have bothered with this sort of effort to keep anyone I'd met at university. I appreciate that this does not help in the slightest.

Long distance - relationship....

Oxymoron.

You're not really having a "relationship" you're just friends with benefits, If she's worth it then talk to her, either face to face or on the phone, it doesn't matter. But if she's got trust issues already then this isn't going anywhere...Sorry.
