Loves Me, Loves Me Not or effeuiller la marguerite (in French) is a game of French origin, in which one person seeks to determine whether the object of his or her affection returns that affection or not. It is often spoken while plucking the petals of a flower (especially an ox-eye daisy or marguerite) one by one, with the last petal giving the "answer" to whether he or she loves you. It is therefore dependent on whether the flower has an even or odd number of petals. It is traditionally performed by a person infatuated with another, seeking to reaffirm a pre-existing belief. It may also be performed whimsically.
