We read a very interesting feature this week that got us thinking.

Donald Trump Dating

Apparently, Donald Trump once had his heart set on making Princess Diana his very own trophy wife.  This was not long after her divorce to Prince Charles and Trump was absolutely besotted with her.

In order to woo her, he bombarded her with flowers.  Orchids, roses, the more extravagant the better. Unfortunately for him, she was massively creeped out by this rather blatant show of affection. From his point of view, he always thought he would have had a chance with her:

“I never had the opportunity to court Lady Diana Spencer. I met her on a number of occasions,” he said. “I couldn’t help but notice how she moved people. She lit up the room with her charm, her presence. She was a genuine princess—a dream lady.”

We can only speculate what their chances of a couple might be due to her very untimely death.  But if they had got together they would certainly attracted huge amounts of media publicity.

As a dating expert though, I really don’t think that sending lots of flowers is a great tactic.  If they aren’t interested in your then it’s not far off harassment and even if they are it can be overwhelming. After the first few deliveries the novelty wears off very quickly.

Smaller gestures are much more powerful.  If you send a bunch of flowers on a birthday or special occasion then it can be very flattering.  I know some people do this after a first date but that’s premature and you’ll look too keen.  Even if you had a wonderful time, it’s better to hold back a little of your interest and takes things slower.

We would love to hear your thoughts on this. Would they have made an interesting power couple?

Happy dating!
