| Men who arrive for the 1st date with a rose.....do women like it?
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 3:37:23 PM | | One big Red Flag I have found with chicks is the ones that are allergic to everything. I am not taking about about allergies to things like bee stings. They are allergic to stuff like water, plastic straws or wood. You name it they are allergic to it. It can get ridiculous, these kind of chicks are nothing but trouble and should be avoided like the plague. Allergic to flowers is enough for me to hit the eject button. Ya I really did know a chick that was allergic to water I am not making this up. | |

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. | |

Posted: 7/12/2008 5:13:02 PM | I absolutely love it when a man shows up with one red rose.
I love roses, ahhh the smell makes me melt.
It is such a warm and kind gesture and very romantic.
I even wrote a short story and the man shows up with one red rose and her favorite wine.
Best listen to what the women are saying about this guys not what the other asshats have to say.... | |

What if a single (flower) was delivered by restaurant staff with your meal?
I'm sorry but the flower that they put on your table in the vase is for decoration.
I picked some wild roses I saw while I was walking my dog yesterday and gave it to my date last night.
Geez, I wondered who stole the roses off of my bushes.
Couldn't resist. | |

Posted: 7/13/2008 9:07:06 PM | I prefer my first date or I rather call it meeting over coffee to be very casual. I create no expectations. I actually prefer no flowers and no gifts.... it sure is romantic but I don't know them and they don't know me to think even romantically about each other. Even if I sense attraction on both side, I don't feel flowers are appropriate, I simply wouldn't be able to receive them honestly and to feel happy about them, because the point is the person I am meeting is a stranger at this stage of them game.

Posted: 7/13/2008 9:27:50 PM | Well maybe I am a fuddy duddy. But I think that a Red rose, while romantic, is a little forward. Not that I ascribe to the definitions of what each color of rose means. But I do think that a Red rose is a little forward.
I prefer to bring a carnation or a sunflower. I actually do like to find flowers to pick, only if they are really pretty.
But, carnations or Sunflowers on a first meet. Now, a second or third or any date after, Roses would be definitely in order. | |

Well hell all this talk has me wanting to change my mind.
I'm gonna bring a Chia Pet to my next first date.
"Ch-ch-ch Chia Pet"
Hah! That would the awesome! I honestly have no idea what I would do if that happened. But it would be the greatest thing that ever happened!  | |

So you're the one I thought I saw sleeping in the back corner of the vacant lot. I thought you looked familiar.
Yeah, and I hope you enjoyed my Mad Dog too
I really do have 4 rose bushes in pink, red, white, and peach. I really do love roses and really think it is so kewl to get flowers, they don't have to be roses. Chocolates are great too. I even received a potted flower once.
Hmmm wonder if anyone ever got a rose bush, now that would be something, you would have a living plant to remember that person by for a long time.
I got the last guy I dated a blue rose, he did buy me slurpees  | |

Posted: 7/13/2008 11:18:47 PM | Show up with flowers, chocolates and a bottle of wine kicking the door with his foot because he is holding all these gifts for me. Way to go!!! I feel that women these days don't appreciate the simple gestures anymore. Yeah yeah I know the history....been there, lived it. I'm at the tail end of the baby boomer generation. Ladies...we are worth every bit of time and thought they put into us. It's like you get mad if he doesn't show you how he feels and when he does (in his own way) you poo poo his efforts. We are all like children.... us when we do something nice then we keep doing it and try harder all the time. It is give and take. Pick your battles.....a rose???? Really? It is one the most beautiful flowers God made, how could you not like it?! | |

Posted: 7/14/2008 12:27:47 AM | | It seems a little "try hard" to me...like you're trying to impress her or something when you don't even know her...save the roses for a woman you're already seeing...not for a 1st date. The "romantic stuff" should be special...it's not really special if you do it for every woman you meet right off the bat. It'll be a turn off for some women too cause it can just come off kind of weird. | |

I prefer Night Train or Thunderbird.
I've brought a rose on the first date 3 times, once the date crashed and burned (turns out she likes meatheaded "manly men" instead of intelligent guys) once it was ok, and this last one seemed to really appreciate it. I still think it's a nice gesture if it's someone you've talked to a few times and have gotten to know a little bit. For a first date when you haven't talked much beforehand, maybe a bit much. | |
