What kind of logic is that? That's not at all what it would be like. Getting some Sakura from a man would be a love-tying gift, not like a rose you would give to a mother or a carnation to a friend (or girlfriend, whatever you meant). It's not embarressing at all. That's like calling a public display of affection, such as a kiss, embarressing.
"What kind of logic is that?"
the logic is based on society and social norms( i also learned this in psychology) most ppl will not do what is concern different. this is called ethnomethodology-- the study of the common sense knowledge that ppl use to understand the stiuations in which they find themselves. ethnomethodology examine existing patterns of convetional behavior in order to uncover ppl's background expectancies--that's their shared interpretation of objects and events. for example:
A: how are u?
B: how am i in regard to what ? my heatlh, my finances.my school work, my peace ofmind, my......
A: (red in the face and suddenly out of control) Look! I was just trying to be polite. frankly, i don't give a damn how u r..
in this encounter, the acquaintance expected the student to use conventional behavior in answering the question. by acting unconverntionally, the student violated background expenctaancies and effectively "sabotages" the interacation
( this it from the book"sociology in our time" by Diana kendall)
this is just the everyday norm of society. obviously there are except to everything. like you roll who enjoys sakura (or anyting that has to do with sakura) you don't mind recieving sakura from your bf but most girl might expect to recieve roses. i guess u just have to get to know the person 1st.
y did you pick Nakoruru and not sakura as your banner? y do you like sakura so much?
thank you for your explaination on sakura. now i have a better understanding of sakura. So you actaully have sakura in your roOM? how do you take care of it? i tho you said that it is only in japan? So you went to japan and got it? are you japanese?
