Nerds in Romance

On Valentine's day, I went to buy roses. I went to a flower department, then I saw a handful of nerd-look men shopping there as well. Most guys were struggle what type, or what price in more accurate, to buy. It was funny to look at them shopping with a confused expression

For me, I went straight to the cooler and looked for a dozen roses. Man, they doubled the price! Well, it was V-day. Then I thought about which color to pick. I already brought pink and red in the past months. So I tried something different, I picked yellow roses this time.

When I went home, my wife was happy to see the flower. But then she asked why I picked yellow!? She thought yellow roses means break-up! No kidding. I were speechless .... The next day I did some googling on roses. Yellow rose means "friendship fall into love". Turn out my wife is as nerd as me. Anyway, next time I should just pick red.

I was able to avoid the crowd and the higher price by getting the roses a few days earlier and prolong the celebration. Many have the misunderstanding of yellow roses which I actually like better. So, next time, just to play it safe, get the traditional red and pink. It's also good to know that you bought your wife roses recently for other occasions too. Good job!

It is a good idea to celebrate early, you must have a lot of JOYs ... :)
