Going to send a bird some flowers for Valentines, but not going to be sad and put my name to it - just a cryptic clue!!
She lives in a house four doors up from me and I was going to put something along the lines of a date of birth of someone famous which the year would be 1953, i.e 53, i.e my house number.......but not that obvious!!!
Any ideas??

Quoting Cumulus (Reply 5): I'm going to really show ignorance here, what the hell is a Snowglobe?
Uh-oh, someone drag up the FLAirport threads....
Dude, if you want a shagging, dont buy the damn snowglobe......and dont stalk her.
Quoting Cumulus (Reply 7): Which is EXACTLY what I'm trying to do!!!
OK, well lets make this romantic, eh? Does she have any trees in her yard? If so, then find a poem, prefferably Robert Frost (his stuff always had trees in it) that references the specific tree in her yard. Go from there, but use poetry as the clues.
Quoting Cumulus (Reply 6): Trouble is she's a classy bird, that kind of shite won't wash!!!
Ah, well then make it classy. When she asks what youre gonna move 6 inches say 3 milliliters of sperm, please.

Quoting Speedbird747BA (Reply 14): do you not know what a snowglobe is, or do you not yet realize the signiifigance of this yet
I have no idea, I wouldn't ask otherwise!!!
EDIT:-
Hangfire, just looked at Wiki link...!!
There is no bleeding way I'll send her a snow globe - what the hell do you think I am??(!!!)
Just to furnish you with the facts, she's a weapons analyst for the Royal Navy, 1st class degree with honours, bright as you like (tits to die for!) and recently divorced from a Tornado Pilot - get the picture?

Quoting Speedbird747BA (Reply 19): Then shell want to know you have a penis larger than 1 centimeter, so why dont you go up and give her the flowers your self. Best option, right there.
Because that is the saddest thing ever!!! I might as well get down on one knee and tell her I love her and my world is not complete without her - not going to happen mate!!!

Right, how about this for size:-
She drives a Audi, so Audi was founded by a August Horch in 1899 so how about on the lines of get her to work his age in 1921 (which is 53).....too complex?

Yes, plus you know too much about her which could become embarrasing.
And you dont have to tell her you love her. Just go up to her door on Valentines Day, when she opens up the door, be smiling and say, these are for you, hand her the flowers. Then say, are you available saturday night for dinner and a movie, or dinner and dancing, or just dinner and then a walkk, or or just a long, fancy dinner. Dude, really, just make it simple.

You want to impress the girl, not give her a headache.
Besides, even if she manages to guess the number.... how would she know what street to look for? Or even if the number is a housenumber!
26 Cumulus: It's the whole point of Valentines isn't it? I could do that any day of the week!!!
27 Speedbird747BA: Not the flowers, thats what distinguishes it. Cheers, Kyle
28 Cumulus: She'll be impressed when she gets 80 quids worth of flowers thrown at her! It's the part of the fun of Valentines, keep her guessing!! Whatever happe

32 Cumulus: Good man!!! I'll be sending you a dozen red roses!!!
33 Kaddyuk: As I said earlier... Grow a pair and put your name... She'll like you more for it...!
34 Cumulus: Too obvious! I can see the whole scenario about not wanting to put the fear of Christ into her, but there are only six houses down here - she'd soon
35 Cumulus: I'm going with the atomic number of Iodine, she's done a course in Chemistry and it comes up straight away when Googled - not too tricky...!
36 Kaddyuk: Thats the whole point... to be confident enough to say "Hey I like you". All this cryptic bollocks just makes you sound insecure and shy which is NOT
37 767Lover: It's a nice thought---but as one who has had cryptic flowers sent to me 3 times, I wouldn't recommend it. Two of the times I actually had a boyfriend
38 Petertenthije: Again, how would she know what street to look in? Also, how would she know the 53 relates to a house number. It might as well be the last digits of a

41 Petertenthije: Just a nice card with initials only combined with 53 roses, since you really seem desperate to do something with 53?
42 Kaddyuk: Let just hope she knows how to use Google...
43 Cumulus: Considering a dozen is £40.00, that's nearly £100! No thanks!!
44 767Lover: How are you going to know if she can't work it out? (She might not necessarily say anything to you if she does, she might play dumb.)
46 Banco: I've never understood why people bother with the cryptic stuff. If she likes you, then she'll be angling to find out if it was you that sent them. If
47 Cumulus: Exactly!!! It's all part of the fun of Valentines!
48 Banco: So why bother with the cryptic stuff? Simply "an admirer" would produce the same result. Incidentally.... This is called "date rape".

51 Kaddyuk: Bad Excuse... You're just a lightweight...
52 Cumulus: Try it!! That said, if I wake hungover and start drinking again I can keep it going all day and night!!
53 ZakHH: Yep, got it - you're afraid that her ex may find the card and bomb your house, that's why you woulnd't put your adress on it - right? Hope she won't
54 Kmh1956: A big "AMEN" from here on this one!! Speaking as a member of the female of the species, the whle cryptic thing has a degree of "ick factor" to it. I
55 OhTheDrama747: Not related to this thread at all but I have 10 minutes to kill before I go to the Dr's. Click here.
57 Cumulus: I do see your point, but the whole point of Valentines is to send flowers and not put your name to it, just a clue to keep them guessing. I have no p
59 Kmh1956: If you MUST be anonymous, at least make the clues so obvious as to not freak her out or leave her in any doubt about who they're from. Or just sign w
60 Cumulus: Or perhaps he never sent you Valentines flowers, anonymously of course!!!
61 Kmh1956: The prince for me doesn't have those stalker-ish tendencies, thank you!!
62 TheCol: I don't know dude... You better hope she is the kind of chick that likes CSI, Discovery Channel, Nova, or brainy stuff like that. But you never know.
63 Cumulus: I don't have stalkerish tendancies thank you! Maybe you haven't found as him yet as you're obviously setting your standards too high, if he sent you
64 Cumulus: Funnily enough, yes! This is the challenge!
65 Kmh1956: Nope, just a name will do. My standards aren't unnaturally high....unmarried, heterosexual, breathing and nice.....that's it. From a woman's perspect
67 767Lover: You said she is recently divorced. If she was the one who left, she might think they are from her ex-husband. Anyway, what's done is done now and we e
70 Kmh1956: Nope. A little mystery is good; anything else is creepy.
71 Cumulus: In that case anything sent anonymously is creepy?
72 TheCol: Not in this case. With the "The Atomic Number Of Iodine" clue, it doesn't sound like he's a stalker.
73 A346Dude: Stalkerish? No. A little bit weird, probably. Honestly, I think most women would not react favourably to something like this. My suggestion is that yo
74 Cumulus: I know her already, been out with her twice.
75 ScarletHarlot: So.....how did it go? How long did it take her to get creeped out and slap you with a restraining order?
76 Cumulus: Worked a treat! She thought it was "very original" and taking me out next Thursday for dinner!!! Cheers kaddyuk!!!!
