Posted: 1/15/2006 9:36:39 PM | | I used to give one pink rose on first dates. I think I only did it like 3 times though. I would do it again if there was someone I was excited enough to do it for. Haven't been excited enough about anyone in a while to do that for though. | |

Save the two dozen special for the second date if the first turns out ok. | |

Posted: 9/4/2007 10:53:40 AM | didn't read through the previous posts but......
THERE ARE NO RULES......
typical and predictable are not appealing, flowers and when given should be unique like the person receiving them. Once, I had met someone, and started seeing each other. Well our first "night" together was awesome. Then next day I just happened to be going fishing with some friends, in her city, and was thinking about the previous night. At the stop light, it dawned on me FLOWERS! Stopped at a local shop in her city, and had a bouquet made up of wild exotic flowers ($45) nothing too big. And the card just said "WOW". Had them delivered to her work as I knew she was in that afternoon. She, and all the girls at worked loved them. But in all honesty, the simple fact I went out of my way to do something nice and surprise her made me feel amazing! Of course she called me while fishing and you could hear the happiness in her voice!
O/T- so romance does exist ladies..........for all you NAY SAYERS!
try when YOU feel like doing it! Spontaneous is BEST!
if she doesn't appreciate THAT........well..............
NEXT! | |

Posted: 9/4/2007 10:58:15 AM | From personal experience, forget flowers.
Number of date doesn't matter.
Flowers are a sure fire way to make her run the other way.
Yes, I know, it's backwards and counter-intuitive, but it's true. | |

Posted: 9/4/2007 11:06:19 AM | I gave a woman a rock, I had found it while we were walking along the ocean I had it polished for her, she still has it to this day....she wears it next to her heart....
I don't do the flower thing, its lost its appeal, how many people have received flowers only to be screwed over a day later...
I save the flowers for when I'm actually seeing someone on a full time basis...
Also; some women are very private and don't want the whole workplace to know she has just started to date someone. I would wait on that one also.
Can you imagine some ladies on here would be getting flowers every week,,they would have to start giving them away to their coworkers lol... | |

Posted: 9/4/2007 11:08:38 AM | | Wolfie, too bad a poster here that said this :ya know...A woman loves flowers all the time....bring them to every date... didn't see your post sooner. They should take notes. It is very true. NOT every woman wants flowers, not good to clean up the dried up petals and leaves when they die and not fun to watch them wilt. Also, every date is TOO much. It seems to say a man is desperately trying TOO hard to win her over by this. Flowers are temporary. | |

Posted: 9/4/2007 1:22:18 PM | Since I had a boyfriend for many years who had no idea what flowers were, I was flattered the first time someone brought me flowers on a date. However, I would go out on first dates and it seemed so planned that every guy started bringing flowers. It's not that I am ungrateful and it is a nice gesture, but I think it's better and would be appreciated more if you wait a few dates, see how the things are going and then give them to her when she least expects it.
I knew a guy who planned a spectacular first date, limo, 4 star restaurant. After that she expected such royal treatment on every date and he couldn't keep up with that. He aimed so high in the beginning he left himself no where to go. | |

Posted: 9/4/2007 2:06:29 PM | | No...the first date is just the interview. Wait until you've got a few dates under your belt and believe that you are both mutually interested in one another. Then bring in the flowers. | |

| question to the ladys
Posted: 9/4/2007 6:35:17 PM |  Flowers are always a welcome but not on a first date..in my eyes unless youve been chatting for months and click before you meet.
But then everyone is different..go with how you personally feel, if you think it feels right then go for it
If not then wait after a few more dates.
 Nice to hear romance hasn,t died..yet | |

Posted: 9/4/2007 7:32:44 PM | | dragonmist, if you bring flowers on a first date, you are every woman's dream man. I have never received flowers from a man I was on a date with. How lucky are those women to be so fortunate to date a man like you. | |

Posted: 9/4/2007 8:28:39 PM | | Flowers can never be too dull. At an average of $10 to $20 a pop, the return is well worth the investment. The smile on their faces. especially if all the other dates don't do it..... | |

Posted: 9/4/2007 11:18:14 PM | When to bring flowers? Hmm...How about never? No really ~ I can do without flowers...Not a huge fan per se...
Don't get me wrong ~ I love orchids because they're different and 'Forget Me Not' flowers, simply for the name...
*Now, take me to a some sort of sporting event where we can eat a basket of chicken wings and you might have just stolen my heart! Then again, I suppose this isn't part of the thread though, huh? Lol...* | |

Posted: 9/5/2007 4:14:58 AM | | I guess flowers are just not my thing...and everyone likes different flowers - roses are "standard issue" and wouldn't make me feel very special. Also, I always feel a little sad when I have to throw them away! | |

| question to the ladys
Posted: 9/5/2007 8:00:27 AM | i have only had one guy bring me flowers on a first date, along with chocolates...it was a stay-in date at my place, so he also insisted on treating on delivery for dinner. it was initially flattering...i never expect these things, and certainly not on a first date...but what do you think he wanted as compensation for his investment? now i'm a little more wary when someone lays it on thick during the first date.
keep it simple guys...if you want to make a sweet gesture, make it a single flower. if you pick a rose, don't go for the stereotypical red...different colours mean different things. (and here's a shocker! some girls will read into everything, and then make assumptions.) so for roses, stick to yellow or pink...they're more friendship colours, more neutral, but still a sweet gesture. as for myself, i actually don't really even like roses, i'd rather get gerber daisies, sunflowers, or lilies ; ) | |

Posted: 9/5/2007 8:18:00 AM | The nicest first date/meeting gesture I have experienced is being given not flowers but a teddy bear...

Posted: 9/6/2007 5:49:24 PM | | flowers are overrated. First do you want the first impression to be the flowers or of you. But if you must do something than dare to be different write a poem. Find out when her birthday is and get a stuffed bear with her birthstone on it. Man guys get flowers for two reasons either to date or if they are dating or married then they did something a**hole like | |

Posted: 9/6/2007 5:52:31 PM | Don't be a fool. Only bring her flowers on your first anniversary, if then. Same for chocolates or the other stupid things guys bring women.
Just think of that commercial where that little kid takes stuff to the girl and she keeps throwing the things into the garbage and slamming the door in the kids face. That's what happens. | |

Posted: 9/6/2007 6:20:56 PM | | while i think flowers on a first date is unnecessarily showy, if you're in a relationship...contrary to what iago stated above...don't limit flowers to your anniversary if you want to stay in a relationship. girls appreciate flowers *just because* from their SO, but on a first date it can feel like strings are attached to those gestures. | |

Yeah, ok, I'll give you that, but I've always wondered why it's the guy who's supposed to do these things.....? Why do women always need the guy to 'prove' their love while the woman sits back and judges whether or not the gesture is acceptable or not?
The other part of it, of course, is that you, like most women, have not dated many women and have no idea how often guys get crapped on when they do 'romantic' things. | |

Posted: 9/6/2007 6:50:53 PM | | oh i absolutely agree, iago...those sweet little gestures need to go both ways. i used to bring my ex chocolates, or his favorite munchies from the store, or whatever...little things, just because. it's not about "proving" anything or feeling obligated, it's about wanting to do sweet things just because ; ) | |
