| When to bring flowers? 1st, 2nd, ... date?
Posted: 9/6/2007 6:55:04 PM | Brings flowers on the first meeting, it says alot about you, and women that still love them i think are your romantics. and passionate women, if someone does not like it i would watch out, they might have a rude attitude and a antifeminism attitude,
You are a very special guy, keep up the floweres, wow | |

Posted: 9/6/2007 7:02:27 PM | | I dunno , if the first date is a relatively "blind" date met from here on POF. then I would wait until the 2nd or 3rd. I think flowers should be given as a gesture of affection and mean more when you decide you really like the gal/ | |

Posted: 9/6/2007 7:40:56 PM | She may have an allery to the pollen in flowers so I would say not on the first date. She would be miserable during that date. It is a wonderful gesture when you don't expect it. I love them. But one gentleman on this site made prism knick knacks and her bage me one Theat also was wonderful. Unexpected and very sweet. (Thank you Steve. )
So any of you wondering.......I like flowers but am not fond of the smell of Roses. they reminded we of funeral home smells. THey are beautiful to look a bu are over priced for the way they smell. | |

Posted: 9/6/2007 7:55:31 PM | You people are such romantics!
No flowers...not one...on the first meeting? Ugh...
If you did your homework you would know what she likes ... bring a single red rose...thank her for meeting with you...send a thank you note/email the next day...call her and say you like meeting her again and can't wait to see her...and ALWAYS send flowers after the first night of passion to her office...if no office...her home...to suprise her and let her know you care...and a card...
Then you wonder why 50% of marriages end in divorce...ugh!
Do you guys ever get a secnd date?
You women are tragic...no romance...ugh! | |

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. Flower giving done with a touch of class!!! | |

Posted: 9/6/2007 9:23:25 PM | WHY does it have to be guys giving the girls flowers??? I love flowers and would thoroughly enjoy them if a lady gave me some flowers be it the first or the 21st date.
If it is truly a gift from the heart with no strings attached or attempts to manipulate someone for something, I think flowers are appropriate almost any time. | |

Posted: 9/6/2007 9:26:00 PM | I always thought that timing helped,a bouqet for really special occasions,a single rose for a more personal show of affection.(color depends on reason why you are giving it).
JMHO! | |

Posted: 9/7/2007 7:24:00 AM | It looks like a lot of people have differant opinions on this. I still would bring flowers, and take the time to pick the best ones. It ain't much and says a lot, even if he date does not go as expected. It's the gentleman thing to do.
**P.S. A hint for you guys out there. If you buy roses, usually the are kept in a cooler. Buy them like up to 4 hours before you expect to give them to someone, and leave them in your car or truck with the windows closed. The warmth of the air will warm the petals up and begin to make them really fragrant. They will be the best smelling roses once this is done. Just make sure they have a vile of water attached to them.** | |

Posted: 9/7/2007 8:15:49 AM | Sure flowers are nice for some, and as far as romantic,,ya ok lets see if he can pull it off for the rest of the date....from being on here and reading all the forums..the flowers are usually where it stops...and the real person shines through....I'm a very romantic person and by not giving flowers should not portray someone in a lesser light..., there are so many other ways to do so, use your imagination,,flowers are old school...to me that just shows a lack of imagination...and falling back on the old stand by...JMO now for a second date....knock yourself out...I think if you bought an expensive bottle of wine and gave it to her....to save for a second date would be so much more fitting...something you could share together, then again...you could decide on each date that you will save it for the next date ...the next thing you know 50 yrs later you two have finally decided to crack that bottle of wine,,now thats romantic...
Just think if you were to keep that bottle of wine...only open it when you are thinking of him ,put a little on your finger and spread it on your lips, and think of him when you taste it....then everytime ,over the years he will see just how much you have been thinking of him, now thats romantic....as long as things don't go sour including the wine lol

Posted: 9/7/2007 8:35:05 AM | [I had a 1st date give me four candles in these heavy jars and we had to go back out in the humidity and put them in my car because I didn't want to carry them around! They were nice candles.. but 4 was overkill!]
i prefer to give first dates a medium-sized household appliance on the first date. maybe small refridgerator or a microwave ooven or a ...ok im kidding.
The 4 huge candle thing is a crackup, however well intended, it just screams "I will continue to make judgement errors and generally poor decisions throughout our entire existence together, this is just a precursor." lol sorry candleman.
i think thats actually inconsiderate as well.
did he bother to consider how you were going too lug those things around?
maybe it was a trick to find out which car was yours, or worse?
there are some creepy people out there that would be a red flag to me...
i had a gal give me a set of golf clubs once, im not kidding, a whole set!
and we werent even dating.
of course i didnt accept them, i told her to take them back to the store and spend the money on her kids.
however sweetly intended, of course i thought she was a nut and that was enough to scare me off.
but you have to be careful with even the flowers, gave some to a gal on a first date once she eventually became my ex wife lol ..be careful what you wish for...?
and sending the flowers to the workplace after a date?
again, however well intended-also inconsiderate.
its like saying "thanks for the...badabingbadaboom.....last night" to all of her co-workers, isnt it? | |

Posted: 9/26/2007 8:11:32 PM | Save the flowers for later. They are supposed to be special. So why not wait and see if it is special?
Sure most women love to receive flowers, but how special are they going to feel when they realize that you do it for everyone.
Me, I don't believe in giving cut flowers, period. I don't like to give something that is going to die. | |

Posted: 9/26/2007 11:32:22 PM | Flowers aren't good and here is why:
1) They are too pretty, its superficial.
2) They dont last long, kinda like saying "Dont call me Ill call you"
3) Everybody gives flowers, it's unimaginative.
Now a true gift is a potato and ehre's why:
1) Potatoes last ages - like saying Im not going anywhere.
2) Potatoes dont go bad and after a while they start to grow instead of dying - like saying "Hey lets grow our relationship beyond this.
3) They may not be pretty but its saying "Hey I like you just as you are regardless of what you look like"
4) Nobody gives potatoes, its unique.
PS - This was tongue in cheek :P | |

Posted: 11/1/2007 11:08:16 AM | | Its kinda funny, I like flowers. on a first date.. depends on the person.. and as for giving them on the first date, what does your gut say. I wouldn't mind a single flower, a bouquet of red roses.. hmmm I think that would be a bit overboard. a single flower, that is cool. (any flower not just roses..) | |

Posted: 11/1/2007 2:25:26 PM | | OP Hold out for the second or third date, because it can make you look like you are pinning too much expectation on it, and that can make a woman feel a bit pressured. If you get on really well together, then it's always nice to receive them later as a sign that you really think the woman is special. | |
