“You just don’t understand women”
Long Island Singles Events
The events can really work. Ok ladies, I need your help on this one! Last Saturday I had the pleasure of attending Tracy and Tom’s wedding (they met in 2008 at one of our speed dating events in East Meadow).
I brought a female friend (just a friend) as my guest and we had a GREAT time. The food was fantastic, the people were awesome and I felt like a proud pappa at the wedding.
At the end of the night, my female friend took the flower centerpiece from the table home. She said she wanted them so that her cat could eat the flowers. “My cat loves flowers. I know she will throw up, but it is ok.”
At the end of the night, we put the flowers in the back seat and I dropped my friend off. But……..she forgot the flowers in my car.
It was already pretty late and I could not bring the flowers to my apartment since my cats would have a field day. I did not share my friends opinion of feeding flowers to my cats.
I also didn’t want to leave the flowers in my car since I have an allergy issue. So I tossed them.
Sunday night, my friend called me looking for the flowers. When I told her that I tossed them, she got pissed and said “we may be friends, but I am still a woman, and you have a lot to learn.” I have not spoken to her since.
Being a Sagittarius, I am used to doing stupid things and have suffered from “foot in mouth disease” plenty of times. However, I need a little advice on why the above situation would piss off my friend. She wanted to feed the flowers to her cat. It was 2 AM, and I had no place for them. Yes, I could have called my friend and drove back to bring them to her, but I didn’t. In retrospect, my friend obviously wanted the flowers for herself, and disguised it as saying she wanted them for her cat.
I may be smart in a lot of areas, but understanding the code language of women, is not one of my strong points. Don’t give us codes, tell it to us straight.

I’m with you, Jay. We’re not mind-readers, although most women seem to expect us to be just that. It’s an unwinnable situation there. Even if you had called or gone over there, she probably would have been upset at you anyway for it being so late at night. Then again, maybe she really did want to feed flowers to her cat, which is strange enough in itself.
Girlfriend or GUY friend…it wouldn’t have mattered.
If my friend tossed the object I was saving and had accidentally left behind, just because it was the most convenient thing to do I would be pissed too.
WHY she was saving them for the cat or herself really doesn’t matter… she was saving it and that’s… that.
Its summer time, the weather is warm.
Why not leave the flowers outside and call her the next day to see if she still wants them?
and have her come the next day and pick them up.
Too much trouble?
This is not a man vs woman issue.
Its a friend, not doing the right thing.
