| Flowers on the first date?
Posted: 3/5/2006 5:10:47 AM | | The first time I got a woman flowers, she slapped me. Accused me of trying to "buy her" with "materialistic shit" ... not sure how to finish that .... | |

Would a man actually do that?
I think it is a very sweet gesture.
My last relationship, he was not even remotely romantic, affectionate, or thoughtful (unless he was thinking of himself), the TWO times he actually did buy me beautiful Roses (the most gorgeous bouquets I had ever seen) his mean side came through the next day and he THREW them away, just to hurt my feelers :(
So much for chivalry.  | |

Flowers are cool on a first date, second date and always. I would rather have them now, instead of when I am dead. | |

Absolutely! I find it to be romantic. A thoughtful gesture that says "I was thinking of you." | |

Posted: 3/5/2006 5:03:45 PM | In conclusion, most women would like a flower on the first date. Let it be noted that this is now an unwritten rule for dating.  | |

While I did notice the humour, the fact is, there is much truth to this statement.
Flowers on the first date? No thanks, not for me. I don’t mean to appear callous. I’m not. But, I don’t want someone to bring me flowers because it is the “norm” or part of a dating ritual. | |

Posted: 3/5/2006 7:43:51 PM | " Hey ladies...:).. I was wondering how you would feel if a date gave you 1 single rose on your first date? Would it be something that you would appreciate or not? "
Well how can you not smile if someone brings you flowers.... :)
to be honest though, although it's a sweet gesture, a single rose on a first date might seem a little too scripted for some women...don't get me wrong, flowers are good! But how about something a little more original...like a bouquet of gerber daisies or a single lily...something that says "i thought about this and I want to impress you" and not "i want to impress you with the same thing i do for all my first dates..."
Either way, any girl would be crazy to snub someone giving them flowers, no matter what the kind :)
cheers,

| I didn't give flowers but I did give something else that was very personal
Posted: 3/5/2006 10:38:15 PM | | Although it is a very sweet gesture. you should wait 60 days before giving a girl anything. I didn't give a girl flowers but I did do something very nice for a girl and she even asked for it so I did it. We got on the topic of hobbies I told her I was an artist and she asked me if I would do a painting of from one of the pictures she gave me. So I did, I painted a beautiful painting of her it was very nice. I asked a lot of my friends if this was a good idea and everyone said give it too her. We'll on our second date I gave her a surprised and she loved it ! And that was the last time I ever heard from her. After that day she would not return any phone calls or e-mails. Trust me women will analzye the gesture to death and it will not work in your favor. I know you want to be kind and your intentions are genuine but I can gaurentee the gesture will be misinterprreted. | |

Posted: 3/6/2006 1:31:31 AM | I can relate to that CarolinaNoelle.. I would feel like a used car salesman bringing flowers or a gift on a first date... Sort of puts the mark, er, I mean, date on the spot...
However, I just had a first date this weekend, and after the date I ordered a dozen red roses to be sent to her work Monday... It doesn't put her on the spot, plus I figure she'll enjoy receiving them in front of her friends/co-workers... Maybe coming on too strong? I do want her to know that I enjoyed the date and really like her... | |

Posted: 3/6/2006 3:34:02 AM | Hmmmmmmmmmm...gotta think about this a moment. Ya know, being ex-military, we're always taught to 'think outside the box'...so here goes:
First date...buy her a flower shop, a chocolate candy store, a car dealership, a housing development and a clothing boutique. That way, you've all the bases covered, she goes nutszoid on ya...with the choices endless.

Posted: 3/6/2006 6:16:47 AM | | If we had never ever met before, I would consider it a bit strange. I view a single red rose as a tad stereotypical, but mainly the province of lovers, sorry. Now a bunch of wild flowers or something a bit more imaginative... | |

Posted: 3/6/2006 6:32:04 AM | It is not the fact that you give a rose or flower on a first date.. it is more that you thought enough to make that extra effort to make it a memoriable and personal experience for both or you.
It is very nice gesture and personally I would appreciate it.

Posted: 3/6/2006 7:11:31 AM | since i truly believe that flowers are for the living and not the dead, i would think it aprapo in deed. Romance is not dead and buried yet! Its all part and parcel of the wooing business.
My first pof date gave me a beautiful orchid flower arrangement - beautiful.
Romance goes a long way with women you guys, so WAKEUP! | |

Posted: 5/22/2006 7:02:11 AM | i think thats a lovely thing to do.....but what if things don't lead to a second date? hmmm i think maybe wait for the second date then you are expressing how much you enjoyed your first meeting!
Good on you for being a sensitive romantic man...wish there were more like you.
Good luck. | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 5:14:19 PM | Nice but a bit corny....
The first date...is more like a meeting. (to sniff each other out...uh...I mean to check each other out) Not very romantic in my opinion.
On the next one (if it happens) maybe..then it would be lovely.  | |
