| Why wouldn’t they be a friend? That’s a weird conclusion. And flowers are always nice to get and I do the same take a pic and text. But let’s be honest, they aren’t some end all be all gift by any means. They are a nice gesture and you were thanked. |

Your question is odd. No sane person would ascribe a negative connotation to the exchange. We’re at DCUM unanimity. |

Oh my. You do not come off looking good here. |

Totally fine.
Signed, a woman who has an engraved stationery "suite" (the Hon. & Mrs. ---) and 5 etiquette books on my shelf. Pre-2008, I would have sent a note on the fancy stationery. Today, no one has time for that. |

DP. You come on here asking a bizarre question and most ppl rightfully are confused. You react by gaslighting PP as if they're the one with a problem. You're very annoying. |

| The only people I know that send thank you notes (besides for wedding presents and the like) are over 70 y.o. It is a generational thing. The youngest generation barely talks on the phone. A "thank you" by text is fine; a somewhat effusive one is even better. |

Maybe you should have a drink. Are you very old? |

Unless you are over 70, that's how people communicate these days, best friend or not.
I only send thank you card to people over 75. They are old school, I get it. |

| I sent flowers one time to a friend who lives out of state and they never acknowledged. I was floored. |

I’m confused. What else would they do? This seems like an appropriate response to me, and is what anyone I’ve ever sent flowers to has done.
I’m honestly curious… were you expecting/hoping for a phone call? Thank you note in the mail? Something else? |

| Op, you are a high maintenance bean counter and therefore not a true friend . |

| Maybe they are still going to send handwritten note, they just wanted to acknowledge receipt of flowers quickly. |
