    One of me really good friends is going through a rough breakup. Basically after 3 years he decided he didn't want  to marry her with no expanation. With valentines day coming up I thought about sending her flowers-just to cheer her up on that day and make her feel special.

    Do you think its a good idea?

    Should I send it from your secret admirer? Just to get her happy that someone is notices her.

    Note: I am only her friend but secret admirer would make her more giddy and happy than flowers from me.

    I voted to send them signed from you... since you don't want to run the risk of her thinking her ex wants to get back together or anything crazy like that.  Never underestimate the power of a box of chocolates & a bottle of wine!  Plan a night-in not on Valentines' Day & just let her cry on your shoulder and vent :)

    If you do send them - PLEASE sign them.  Getting them from an unnamed source will drive her bonkers and is likely the last thing she needs as she's going through a rough patch.  And, worst case - she may think they are from him.

    I agree, send them as a friend ie from you. Getting her hopes up she has a secret admirer is not going to boost her confidence when the interest doesnt follow through. Your a very good friend though to think of doing such a gesture though :)

    Getting flowers would drive me mad and I likely wouldnt sleep until I figured out who theyre from.

    Sign them from you :)

    I cant think of a worse idea than signing it from secret admirer. Also, I wouldn't do flowers. Just honest opinion. How about offering to take her out for dinner, or hosting a girls night? That way you distract her from the day instead of giving her a gift she would have typically gotten from her boyfriend.

    Secret admirer...bad idea got it!

    I didn't really think about when I sent them she would think of him....even if I sign my name. People at her work may keep asking her if they are from him too. (I have to send them to her work bc she doesn't really have a constant place to live now)

    This may not be as good of an idea as I thought.

    Thoughts?

    I'd skip the flowers and bring a bottle of wine over to her place. IDK flowers from a friend just read "oh poor single you" to me.

    I dont think sending her flowers will be the best option, it will just seem like a pity gift. I like the idea of maybe doing something together instead
