I mean they've been doing that in Paris for quite some time when you're walking with someone. 'What you don't want to buy roses for 50 euro? Is your girlfriend not worth it to you?'

Luckily my girlfriend told the guy to put his roses some place I may not mention here.

Haha, Paris was exactly what I was thinking of. "Pretty lady, flower for you! You want flower? Flower for you, pretty flower for a pretty lady," pressing the flower toward the woman as if trying to give it away for free, and then if she takes it, "that'll be [insane price for a flower]", hand out for payment, and resisting taking it back.

Your best policy in public in a major city is to internalize Tony Stark's strong aversion to being handed things.

Sounds to me like your girlfriend is worth having self-respect for.
