Friendship Flowers

Starting a friendship is a social skill that takes years to learn. Doing it successfully, like with most skills, involves a lot of trial and error on your part. Knowing when to approach a person, picking the right topic to start a conversation, and finding the guts to start it may come naturally to some people. Others find making friends difficult due to shyness and the lack of confidence in their verbal skills. Whichever the case is, one good way to start a friendship without some of the awkwardness is to give flowers on the right occasions.
Flowers can sometimes be more eloquent than people. Different roses, for instance, have varying shades of meaning for every affair. Also, giving flowers mean that you value a relationship (or future relationship) enough to go out of your way to make the person feel special. Starting a friendship involves confidence, trust, and effort. Giving flowers certainly makes the person appreciate your efforts more in trying to be friends.
However, before giving flowers to people you’d like to be friends with, make sure that you know the right flowers to pick. They should be appropriate to the occasion. For example, if you’re attending a birthday celebration for a person that you are not that closely acquainted with, giving orange roses says that you want to know her better. If you’re at a wedding, giving yellow roses to the newlyweds mean that you are glad to share their happiness. Peach and pink roses convey admiration, so if you want to start a friendship with an office mate (or anyone whose work you appreciate), pink or peach flowers are the best choice.
Giving flowers is a good touch to develop a friendship, but don’t forget to consider other factors. One, always be well-groomed. Give a good first impression and maintain that impression. Two, update yourself on current events and read a lot of books so that starting a conversation with a stranger comes easier. Three, have a positive outlook in life so that people would be attracted to you, because really, no one wants to hang out with an emo (unless they’re emo too)! Lastly, just relax and enjoy meeting people rather than always worrying about whether you said or did the right thing. Before you know it, starting a friendship has become a breeze. It will come naturally to you if you put effort into it – and nothing says “effort” better than giving flowers besides improving yourself.
