| Men who arrive for the 1st date with a rose.....do women like it?
Posted: 2/11/2008 2:23:06 PM | | Re: The VendovaGuru and the card..Had a little chuckle when I read your reply..it might work on the young things ..there is no trick, no pretense in showing a woman that you enjoyed her company and would like to spend more time with her..just say so..and to be told I am going out with him the following weekend without asking me?? He just got a no answer..nothing wrong with a man bringing his date A rose..now a whole bouquet might be a little over zealous ..lol | |

Posted: 7/11/2008 8:43:52 AM | I prefer something that does not die on the 1st date- lol- like maybe he could get me a little something he sees I'm interested in while we're ON the date; I would rather know he's into me during the date than at the beginning before we've had a chance to feel each other out..  | |

Posted: 7/11/2008 1:05:51 PM | | I arrived on a first date with a rose once, but it was the first date I had been on since my divorce and I was thinking it would be nice and old fashioned and show that I was a romantic kind of guy -- man have I learned my lesson since then! This isn't the same dating world of 20 years ago! | |

Posted: 7/11/2008 1:49:17 PM | | I do not care for flowers on a first date at all! To me it is more of something you think you should do. You don't really know me yet. I think it is much much more romantic to have a wonderful first date and then send her flowers and a sweet note. It is much more romantic and makes me feel much much better. Nothing is worse than having a bad date and then you have these flowers to look at and everyone asking you about them. It may not be something you want to relive over and over. Thats just me! | |

Posted: 7/11/2008 2:02:48 PM | | To anyone who would be upset about roses because you can get them anywhere - most guys don't bring anything period. So to get a rose or a flower would mean they put some time and thought into it. That's a bonus to me and to most women. | |

Posted: 7/11/2008 2:06:32 PM | | Just THE ONE rose says so much..... I really care.... YOU are important!!!! A guy does that for me and he is "in " about 75%. Gentleman...... old fashioned, caring, affectionate!!!! Exactly what I am looking for!!!! Details... I am very detail minded!!!! | |

Posted: 7/11/2008 2:16:51 PM | | I thought I commented on a similar thread some time ago and just realized it was this thread (see message 285 for more detail). But very briefly, a woman frankly should not like this gesture. There is as I noted before protocol to flowers -down to the types given, the colors, etc. While not necessary to know every nuance there should be evidence that at least some of them are known. And starting a first date with either a red flower, a rose, or (God forbid) a red rose shows that a man does not get it. | |

Posted: 7/11/2008 3:21:36 PM | | If it is a blind date and I never met or spoke to the guy before, a red rose is a bit much (I still would be gracious and wouldn't hold it against the guy). If we know each other a bit, it is reallty sweet - but I do prefer daisies or sunflowers. | |

Posted: 7/11/2008 3:33:32 PM | | seems kind of affected to me ... like trying too hard. Now if he's planned a nice time..at a restaurant he thinks I'll like because he's taken the time to know a little about me ... that is impressive to me. I guess I'm going by past dates, most that feel they have to arrive bearing a gift have seemed a little desperate. And we are talking date .... not a first meeting, right? If it's a first meeting, no way! | |

Posted: 7/12/2008 9:42:13 AM | It would be a thoughtful gesture for men who are thoughtful! I do have to smile though in a 2 1/2 year relationship I never received flowers for any occasion. Yet I'd hear about the roses they'd sent others in the past.
However, the older old fashioned men still use that special touch to make a woman feel special they have invited out or over for dinner...the ones who were raised with manners and how to treat a lady way back when! | |

Posted: 7/12/2008 11:24:52 AM | If it was a first meet, I wouldn't prefer anything. I would feel like any other "first meet".
Now, if we were going on an actual date, after meeting etc., then a simple spring bouquet would be nice. Then I know he got them just for me.
I would prefer roses after we were dating awhile. | |

Posted: 7/12/2008 11:34:36 AM | Geez, it has been so long since a man bought me something, I probably would fall in love in they brought me chocolates and flowers. I am sure I wouldn't know how to react. I really think it is so sweet and so kewl for a guy to think about you before your date! | |

Posted: 7/12/2008 4:27:52 PM | | The whole thing about bringing a woman on a first date isn't so much about spoiling as it is, showing her that you can make an effort. It'll show that you're a little more selfless then the ***hole who arrives at the door picking at his teeth while he asks her if she's ready. Giving her a rose with one of the water tubes at the bottom of it lets her either leave it at home, or bring it with her on the date and at the end of the date, depending on where you went or what you did, it gives her something to hold and think about if you were a nice enough guy. Even the the most attractive man can look like a douche, and a pig just by how he portrays himself and how he treats her. To add too it? If she's an old time romantic, and she's hoping for that rose and you don't bring it? Your first impression just went bai-bai.. So suck it up, smile politely, stand straight and give her a damn rose at the door, eh? | |

Posted: 7/12/2008 4:44:55 PM | No...sorry I think its just a bit creepy to arrive with any kind of gift on a first date. Get real..stop pretending your in some romantic novel.
A friendly smile, good conversation and if we get on well the roses can come later and will be very welcome. | |
