Depends on the context.....and of course how secure you are in your sexuality.

Depends on who was giving them to me. If they were given with a declaration of undying love, then I would be uneasy and politely refuse (as I would from a lady, unless I felt the same). But if they came from a friend / colleague then I would accept in the spirit they were given.

I have given flowers to a chap myself. He is gay and it was to congratulate him on getting 'engaged' for his civil partnership.

Never give a bloke flowers. Ever. Simple rule.

There are a few times in life when it's acceptable to cross certain boundaries with a bloke. For example, putting your hand on another man's shoulder is only accepetable if the other man has just scored a goal for your pub team in a Local brewery teams Final (and ONLY IF the goal was worthy of Pele). Another time may be when one of your relatives has just died saving a bus full of nuns from a fiery cliff top death. In such a situation it is accpetable to put you ENTIRE arm around said friend for up to 5 seconds.

At all other times outward displays of emotion should be reduced to a pint of beer down the pub.

Anything else is almost as wrong as trying to talk to the bloke next to you at a trough in the little Dirk's room at your local den of iniquity.

Grateful male client has delivered a bunch to me. I believe - but don't know for certain - that he is straight: there could be some doubt about it but 'are you gay?' is not the sort of thing I ask clients.

Rest of office thinks this is all highly out of order. I don't, I think it's a nice thing to do.
