    (PS Yes I have seen the movie "how to lose a guy in 10 days", no, not a troll)

    ya what now? :confused:

    never heard of that, she made it up
    is it for use in some strange sexual practice that I am unfamiliar with?

    A plant?

    If so then yes - she is preening you for the next step - children.

    Maybe.

    Day 2 :-: Go to the LAKERS Basketball game and make him get you a drink in the last few seconds left in the game.

    Day 3 :-: Call him in the middle of a very important meeting and just sweet talk him. Cry and say that “you think I m fat”

    Day 4 :-: Go to his apartment again, and bring all your teddies…put pink bed sheets and a throw on the couch. Put your feminine stuff in his medicine cabinet. Change his Cds…to romantic oldies.

    Day 5 :-: Name guy’s pecks. (if he has) {hehe} Buy Ugly shirt for him which is also the same as the ugly dog you buy him.

    Day 6 :-: Leave seventeen messages on his answering machine every second. Buy a baby fern a.k.a “love fern” for him to take care of.

    Day 7 :-: Contact his mother and create a family album before you even have one.

    Day 8 :-: Get tickets to a Celine Dion concert at the same time and day as the Knicks Game.

    Day 9 :-: Interrupt his Boy’s Nite out…by mothering him, crying every two seconds about something, whine like a baby.

    Day 10 :-: Go to his parent’s house and sooner or later just realize that “if this guy can tolerate so much horror – he deserved to be loved by you”…..Bam! Both are in love.

    Maybe she wants to break up with you. Apparantly plants (and ferns in particular) are great for lonely people

    Give it back to her.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,204 ✭✭✭bug


    maybe she likes plants..maybe she thought you'd like a plant?

    simple.

    I like plants,I'll take it.

    A month?

    Shes either a weirdo, skint or is too stingy to spend money on you.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,357 ✭✭✭secret_squirrel


    She thinks you're a plant and bought you some company?

    Or even company for when she dumps you??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,208 ✭✭✭loismustdie


    maybe she just wanted to give you a nice preasant and thought it would be sweet to give you a love fern as opposed to an expensive over-marketted piece of jewellry/designer label etc. not everything esp love is or should be about money and show's more thoughtfulness than an expensive gift


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 878 ✭✭✭Bicky


    nope. its about money

    Personally I'd put christmas tree decorations on it... if she asks why say it looked depressing and you wanted to cheer it up.

    i agree. its only a plant don't think too much about it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 574 ✭✭✭Silent Grape


    omg thats hilarious. she actually gave u a fern?
    was she taking the piss?
    did she actually call it a 'love' fern?
    if anyone gave me a 'love fern' to nurture id actually laugh my pants off.




    and then let it die.


    so whats happened since??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,817 ✭✭✭✭po0k


    Intoduce it in the bedroom and "water" it in a "loving manner".

    Take a polaroid of her expression.
    Post it up here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,548 ✭✭✭Draupnir


    Its deadly, if you wanna dump her use it, pretend you can talk to it and it doesnt like her, when she calls over put it in a corner and when she asks you why its in the corner tell her its cos its been bold. Tell her it said she was a bitch and it wants to kill her. Then while shes a sleep put it beside her in the bed, balance a knife in the branches and wait for her to wake up screaming. Then tell her she is dumped while she is too freaked to give you hassle.
