Help Please! am i in love?

im 15 and my bf is 16. we’ve been together for over a year now. he is such a sweet guy. he is always respectful, he buys me flowers for every occasion, he holds doors open for me and carry’s my books at school. he pays for everything, and when im sad he just hugs me and holds me close and kisses the top of my head and tells me everything will be all right. and hes just sooo sweet! and when im not with him i feel like im lost like a part of me is missing. and when i am with him my stomach is always in knots and my head is spinning and my heart races.

and he is always there when i need some one to talk to and hes just so sweet! and ik he feels the same about me.

so i guess what im asking is do u think im in love? and if u do how do i make sure nothing goes wrong between us?

thanks for your opinions!!
again im 15 and idk how ur supposed to feel when ur in love!

Ha ha I have this same problem….I’m 14 and my bf is 15 :3 and I swear i’m in love with him…he’s already technically proposed to me! But anyway, i think your defiantly in love! :3 But be careful cause its such a strong word and a strong feeling sweetie, it doesn’t feel good to be broken into millions of pieces. Now i’ll leave you with the advice my mother left me..
"You know when your in love when your partner has the power to destroy you but never will."

What flowers do I get her?

There’s this girl that I like (that I know for a fact is waiting for me to ask her out via friends) and I want to ask her out for Christmas. Her friend recommended me getting her some flowers and either playing or writing the lyrics for "All I Want for Christmas is You" in a card with it. I really like the idea but have no frickin clue what kind of flowers I would get for this occasion. Will someone please help me get in touch with my feminine side so I can do this right?
Also, I know for a fact she likes me. She has liked me for a VERY long time.

I would get her a small, but tasteful arrangement. It doesn’t have to be expensive, or by any means big. It would probably be better if you got her a single rose, or a small arrangement, If you get her, say 12 roses, it might be too much for her at this time. She’s not sure if she likes you.. so just go light. A single rose is very romantic too. You also may want to consider writing her a little note/card to tie onto the flower(s). Again, don’t buy too much. You don’t want to push her into something, or creep her out.

Good Luck

How can I repay my boyfriend for all the wonderful...

Whether this is for a Christmas gift, or just a thing I can do just to show my extreme appreciation for him and everything he’s done.

I have the most amazing man. We’ve been going out for over a year now as of last Sunday. I know I’ve found "the one" because he is everything I’ve ever wanted, needed and more. He is EXTREMELY responsible, hard working, friendly, funny, and he’s always doing things for me, my friends, and my family. Everything from being so thoughtful of my parents (Doing things for them for their birthdays, and Christmas) to helping me find a car. He’s great with my friends, he helped throw me a surprise party for my birthday (my first suprise party, ever) He’s smart, and always loving. We can be such silly sappy lovebirds with each other (That’s SO not like me). He never let me pay when we go out for dinner, (even if i bring my own money and i go to pay for us for a change, he doesn’t let me) He’s always driving me places. He’s always willing to drive If me, or even any one of my friends ever need a somewhere. He buys me flowers for no occasion, he always is full of surprises and is always spoiling me by giving me things…(and not all these things are cheap) This makes me feel so bad because although I have a job, it doesn’t pay much, and my family isn’t very financially stable right now. I feel like I can never do anything like that for him. I feel sooo bad that he pays fro everything, when I can never do anything like that in return. It makes me feel like I’m taking advantage of him or something. Which is not something I do.
and of course, it’s not just material things either….
This man has brought so much into my life: happiness, security, love. He’s kind of my role model too, because he’s always good about keeping a clear head about things. He’s so mature. I’ve learned a lot from him. He looks out for me, he’s helped me open up about all my insecurities and fears. Unlike how most women expect a man to just "read" whats on their mind, He’s helped me learn to open up, without being prompted to, and on my own time. I love him so much, he’s made me a better person, and sometimes I don’t think I’m worthy enough of such an amazing being. He has such a good head on his shoulders, while I, on the other hand am an clumsy, unorganized, scatterbrained, insecure forgetful person. lol XD

I love him so much, I just wish there was more I could do for him. Because he means everything to me. I’m artistic, and such, and I know all of his favorite things: he loves blue, red and white, motorcycles, cars, penguins, he has a guilty pleasure for star wars and batman (haha! ;P) so on and so forth…but I want this to be something much broader than a gift…. any ideas?

NYC Florist Endorses Cut Lily Flowers

On your next visit to your favorite NYC florist see if you can count the number of different lilies on display.

There are somewhere between 80 – 100 different varieties of lilies, most of which are hybrid. Any respectable flower shop should have in stock, at any given time, somewhere between 6 -10 different varieties of lilies.

Lilies  have a rich history. Entire poems where dedicated to them and who doesn’t remember Katharine Hepburn famous scene as she enters the room holding several calla lilies and uttering the famous line “…The Calla Lilies are in Bloom Again…”

According to the Greek mythology, Hera Zeus’ wife believed that the lily flower was responsible for producing the milk in her breast.

And according the Roman mythology the goddess of beauty, Venus, was so jealous of the white color of the lily that she changed its shape by causing a spike to grow from its center.

And here is what the Bible has to say about Lilies”
 

“Consider the lilies of the field how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin; And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these”

Florist in NYC On Peonies – When and Where t...

On your next visit to your florist in NYC, ask to see their selection of peonies.

Surprisingly enough there many people who still shy away from this wonderful flower. I, on my part, try to introduce people to flowers they might have seen, but never purchased. Peonies is one of those flowers that once I encourage a client to deviate from his usual “bouquet of roses for girlfriend,” and instead take a bouquet of peonies, he always come back for more.

NYC city florists are lucky because most imported flowers from Holland first land in one of New York’s airports. This fact alone allows florist to pay less for imported flowers and thus pass the saving on to their clients.

If you happen to live in NYC, it will be a good idea to know what flowers are in season at any particular time of the year.

Just because your New York florist has a huge selection of flowers at any given time, that does not mean that all those flowers you see are in season. In fact – many of them are there because your florist paid higher prices for them just so he or she can have a larger selection in the store.

Flowers that are there, but not are in their natural season cost way much more than flowers that are in season and, therefore, abundant.

This holds true to all flowers, but especially to the peony; while a stem of a good quality Peony can cost $2 – $4 in season, that price can triple when out of season.

If you have not done so before, try to purchase peonies in the season (April to June). You will love to watch how this tight ball opens into a huge flower that resembles a jumbo rose, but with petals that are silky and way much more delicate.

A NYC Florist Praises the Phalaenopsis Orchid Plan...

If you walked into a florist in NYC 20 years ago you would rarely come across orchid plants. Nowadays orchid plants have become so popular that even stores like Costco sell them from time to time.

When you first give or receive a phalaenopsis, it will usually have several open buds and several that are not. Depending on the size, some plants have several stems, each with a bunch of flowers/buds.

Although the plant is originally native to Southeast Asia, In recent years many growers started growing them in different parts of the world, hence the year round availability as well as the wide popularity.

I love to check from time to time what other florists in NYC have in their windows. I must admit many of my colleagues have come a long way, while others have remained frozen it time. And although at Heather Floral Company we proud ourselves for having one of the largest, if not the largest, selection of orchid plants – some of my colleagues and competition have caught up nicely.

There is nothing as beautiful as a multi-stemmed Phalaenopsis orchid plant that is potted in a nice, rustic  container, covered with moss and have a few twigs of curly willow pointing North. That last item lands a bit more movement and grace to your plant.

Did you know that for the price of a dozen, high quality,  long stemmed roses in any of the better Florist in NYC you can get a good looking Phalaenopsis orchid plant? Moreover, while roses usually last for several days, this lovely orchid can potentially lasts for years to come.

Here are some interesting facts about Phalaenopsis

Name: Phalaenopsis
Native to: Southeast Asia
Availability – Year Round.
Longevity – Up to 3 months per blooming cycle.
Varieties – Popular varieties include the Clown Alley, the Phalaenopsis Mambo, the orange lip and the red lip.
Handling and Care - Fertilizing is important. To prevent wilting of your plant, fertilize your plant every season. This particular plant grows better when left in indirect sunlight. It’s optimum temperature is between 70 to 80 degrees F. Water your plant early in the morning but do not water daily. Water every 4 to 7 days. After it has flowered the first time, cut the stem just above the node where the first flower bloomed.
