| Men who arrive for the 1st date with a rose.....do women like it?
Posted: 12/4/2007 11:27:43 AM | It seems the general consensus in this thread is that women like being given flowers on a first date.
Does this hold equally true for women across generations/age groups? For example, would a woman who is 40 be more or less receptive to receiving a flower on the first date and perceiving it as romantic than a girl who is 20? I'm wondering if this is more of an old fashioned thing or an age-based thing, and if young adults would respond less favorably than other age groups. | |

Posted: 12/4/2007 1:34:57 PM | | While I realize bringing flowers is a nice gesture, it's also very cliche. Personally, I don't believe a first meeting is a date. It's simply a meeting to get to know one another, so romantic gestures are out of place in that situation. If in fact an interest has been established and you are on a first DATE, then if a guy is going to do something thoughtful it should be specific to the girl. If you're going on a date with a person you should at least know one thing that might interest that woman. If she likes flowers, then by all means give a single rose or a pretty bouquet. Personally, I'm not a fan of flowers or plants. Living things die in my care and flowers have never done much for me. I would, however, be beyond happy if a man showed up with a package of BIC pens since I'm constantly misplacing mine. | |

I'm not much a "chick" in this category and will likely get creamed by all the other women on here...oh well. I mean really, they'll be dead in 3 days!!! Just me, but sappy stuff like that just makes me uncomfortable. | |

After seeing a movie and eating dinner, we decided to take a walk around the town to look at the shops, bars, etc. At a certain point in time he decided it would be a romantic gesture to pick a flower from a nearby bush and gently place it in my hair. I almost threw up on his shoes. | |

Posted: 12/5/2007 2:01:00 AM | | I had a guy show up with a box of chocolates...first time that's ever happened to me except when I was in a serious relationship with someone. I told all my friends about it and they were all so impressed and thought that it was so sweet and cute. It was perceived to be a gentlemanly thing to do. | |

Posted: 12/5/2007 2:30:51 AM | I think a man arriving with a rose would be considera a positive note to start. A mature woman would love a rose,,or a special token or your choice.. its doesnt have to be a red.rose,, its should not on first date... just bring a orange, purple, any color not red on first date.. if there are any sparks
she might, even call you first after the first date.. its the little things that count.. | |

As to the age question of the 20 something world -- my daughter is 21 and could not believe that I got a flower on the first date. The guys in her and her girlfriends age group don't take the time to do something as simple. They have made the comment that older guys know how to treat their dates vs the guys in their age group. | |

Posted: 12/5/2007 9:01:53 AM | sorry Astreaa, I used to think that would be a wonderful romantic gesture. Just received 24 long stem roses on our meet and greet, wow n'est pas. Trouble being after the first meeting I was told I reminded him of his ex!! So now the 24 long stem roses were there as a reminder!!!
regards

Posted: 12/5/2007 12:18:37 PM | I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to receive flowers on the first date!! Even better.....the next day at my work! LOL. I think it would quite possibly be the sweetest thing a man has ever done for me. Not that I haven't gotten flowers just not the first date or the next day.  | |

Posted: 12/5/2007 1:05:57 PM | | Its a bit old fashioned full stop in my opinion. I think we're all different but when i was presented with a rose at the start of a first date it just felt a bit well, cheesy. In fact giving me a lump of cheese would have been less cheesy (and more appreciated), especially if it was st agur,mmmm. | |

Posted: 12/5/2007 1:14:07 PM | In response to the poster who asked about women of different ages, I am over forty and I still think flowers on a first date and on any occasion are wonderful, of course I am the sentimental type those old romantic black and white Cary Grant movies get me.
My date brought me a dozen roses recently and that made huge points! | |

Posted: 12/5/2007 3:22:17 PM | | I would love to receive a flower on the first date. It doesn't have to be anything huge, just a simple flower. Doesn't even have to be a rose! I like carnations because they last longer than roses. But that's besides the point. I think it's sweet and romantic. Shows the girl you actually care about spending time with her. But then I am a huge fan of the man opening doors for you and stuff like that too. | |
