| Men who arrive for the 1st date with a rose.....do women like it?
Posted: 7/18/2008 6:05:01 AM | Ha, Montreal Guy loved that rose under the jacket thing, very nice.
And that is hilarious that your ex was lethal to roses. Isn't it funny how looking back we see the things that were red flags at the time but we chose to ignore them?
Well the limousine broke down on the way to my wedding ceremony, so I guess I should have beat feet in the opposite direction as well.
You live and you learn. | |

he got for his efforts what?
I am guessing you were never taught the joy in giving. It is better to give than receive. I am not going to suggest that I don't enjoy receiving flowers, candy, etc., I totally love it, but I have also loved giving. If you read my previous post, I gave the last guy a blue rose. He had it in his car, he probably has trashed it now, but it was a silk blue rose. It gave me a smile every time I saw it.
Give flowers a try some time, it might amaze you, the warm feeling you get and what you actually do receive in return from the woman. | |

Posted: 7/18/2008 10:54:23 AM | Usually it wasn't a rose but I used to buy flowers for a first date, esp. if we had talked alot previously and it was someone I really liked. Unfortuneately, for various reasons, most of the women I bought a flower on the first date for never ended up going out with me again. One of the last ones spent the weekend at my place with me, but again, never had an actual "second date." Oh, and no, it wasn't because of me. I wanted to see her again but she had a family emergency that came up from out of state. By the time she got back we had both moved on.

Posted: 7/18/2008 10:56:53 AM | I remember buying some flowers for my ex-fiancee once after we had been in the relationship for awhile. I surprised her with them and she was like, "Oh." I couldn't believe her reaction. I was like, "Don't you like flowers?" She said something like, I do, but you know they attract insects and stuff. Eventually I found out that I had bought the wrong flowers.

Posted: 7/18/2008 6:27:01 PM | I don't like it.. it screams desperation.. we are talking about a first date..
Now one time I met a guy for a first date and I brought him some home made chocolate chip cookies and he brought me a CD he had burned for me. I thought that was kinda cool since we didn't indicate to each other we were gonna do that. | |

Mind you I love flowers, especially RED roses, but sometimes they're not suitable for certain occasions in my opinion. No matter what gift he gives, it'd seem like he's trying to bribe me, or I'd feel guilty afterwards if things don't work out and I can't work up the courage to reject him, all because of a gift. I've been given a red rose only ONCE, and that was from a bf whom I'd been dating for a while, so to receive gifts/flowers from someone whom I've never met before is a little creepy, wouldn't you say?
That yellow rose thing reminds me of a scene in Made of Honour- if you've seen it you'll understand. | |

Posted: 8/30/2008 10:54:27 AM | | Ive had the man who shows up with a single red rose, had a man who brought me a dozen doughnuts, had a man who thought he was gods gift to women who showed up with a supply of condoms, but the best impression that was ever made to me was a man who showed up with a smile, hug and the words of how great it was to finaly meet in person, may be alot of laides out here who think it takes flowers, candy, money to make them happy but theres still alot of us who just aprreicate a man who can open the door for us, pull out a chair or simply call and say how was your day, things like that cant be bought and sadly enough their the things thats overlooked the most in life....so instead of spending the money on a flower how about just being nice to the person your meeting, dont watch your watch, or look at every other woman that comes into the room ... | |

Posted: 8/30/2008 7:17:03 PM | I think that it is nice for a man to bring a flower for a woman ... but not a rose.
Gerbera daisies are quite nice! It shows the woman that he has put some thought into the meeting, and that he wants to make sure that his date is flattered and has his undivided attention - wow! that is a lot of meaning for just a flower!

Posted: 8/31/2008 1:54:48 AM | Maybe romantic, but honestly if your showing up with gifts in the beginning why are you trying to seek her approval. Be a man and be yourself and win her that way. Save the mushy stuff for at least a month or so.
Too many men rush into things far too quickly, winning a womens heart is slow and steady.
i totally agree with this. being romantic is amazing if youre at like 3+ dates and you both feel something. if you meet someone online and meet in person for the very first time romantic gestures are wayyyyyyy too much.
i dunno, romantic acts for almost strangers seems wrong to me. | |

why waste time&money for a flower?
