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

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.

TJ has the best plan, flowers will be fresher too

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!

wait till you get the bill….

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.

300 miles away?! I daresay her local boyfriend will have bought her some flowers by now, don't worry. 😈

i wanted to say that but didn't.

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.

never ever say sorry with flowers.
school boy error.
save the flowers for the good times.

You evil b*tards 🙄

….. but this girl is worth it.

Get on your bike then…….I wouldn't ponce about with flowers.

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? 😀

never ever say sorry with flowers.

Surely it's better than nothing?

It's my favourite film! 👿

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)

Surely it's better than nothing?

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

300 miles away?! I daresay her local boyfriend will have bought her some flowers by now, don't worry

It's funny 'cause it's true!

well yes as ernie says if its that bad get up the road.

You on that train yet?

so what did you do?

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 f**ked up, you f**ked 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.

Plonker 🙂 gonna be hard to talk yourself out of that one. Non consummated affair anyway is it not?

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.

could almost be seen as a guilt-ridden gesture.

Yep. A 300 mile train journey will prove that it's her 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 💡

miaowing_kat has a good point. Get on that train if you want to keep her

…..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.

….you didn't touch the GF's mother did you?
