| Men who arrive for the 1st date with a rose.....do women like it?
Posted: 3/13/2007 11:58:22 PM | | I too think flowers are a wonderful first date event. I brought her a bouquet of mixed flowers as roses have a stronger more intense point. I also borught a couple of biscuts for her dog, to which she was very attached to. The little things do count, especially if there's a twist......... | |

Then I moved in with him and he started taking me for granted and bossing me around, so I split.
This right here is one of the reasons having a man buy me roses doesn't make a lot of an impression. I have NEVER been witha frequent rose buyer who was being honest. I know I just have my experiences, but I have seen they are generally trying to make an impression without putting forth any real effort......... | |

Posted: 3/14/2007 5:30:43 AM | | It's a nice gesture though I'm not big on things like that quite so soon in a "relationship". The biggest problem is having to carry it around with you if it's one of the long-stem variety...it's awkward and makes me feel a little self-conscious because it SHOUTS first date! | |

Posted: 3/14/2007 5:48:06 AM | I think it is an adorable gesture. One date stopped at Hallmark and squeezed all of the teddy bears to find the right one for me, then he sprayed it with his cologne...those kind of little gifts are memorable and irreplaceable...I love them! The teddy bear is on my dresser and it still makes me smile.
You are right, it does have a huge impact on the evening ahead, and it does make you smile because you were thought of...
Some may see the negative side and see the woman as a gold digger or the man as wanting to get laid, but lets just be positive and enjoy the little moments like this! They are way too far and few between.
Spread the love  | |

Posted: 3/14/2007 5:57:16 AM | | This happened to me a long time ago. I was to meet a woman for a blind date and she asked me to bring a rose. A thought the request was a bit strange, and as I thought about the request a got a bit suspiscous. I thought, since we never had seen each other (pre-Internet, so no photo exchange) that the rose would let her know it was me. Fair enough. Being the playfull sort, I got ten of my friends together and we all went to the restaurant at the same time -- all with a rose in hand. I thought it would be funny -- NOT! She got really mad and left. My friends and went to the lounge and the hostess came up to us and said that my "date" had told her to look for a guy with a rose out in the parking lot and let her know ahead of time so she could check the person out. | |

Posted: 3/14/2007 10:24:44 AM | | i'd prefer lilies, gerber daisies or sunflowers to roses any day. but not many guys seem to bring flowers to a 1st or any other date. it's a sweet suprise when they do, and i do enjoy it. however, that being said, i don't expect a guy to buy me anything (flowers, dinner or a ring), i'm just not a traditional girl...it's a guy's little gestures and quirks which i find charming. | |

Posted: 3/14/2007 12:17:19 PM | | Personally, I hate it. A rose/flowers is cliche and to me and even though he might feel that he is being romantic and thoughful on a first date, I see it as, "I'm trying to suck up to you.....please like me." I would much rather a guy get to know me and find out what I like, what I appreciate and what makes me smile, as I would do for him. For me, a man has to earn romance...meaning, I really do have to feel a connection and a desire to want to adore him and spoil him; I am no different and expect to be treated the same way. I realize that some women want storybook/movie romance in their lives and that's great, but to me it's not real. Treat me with dinity and respect and learn that love is an action, not a feeling.....and when it is reciprocated, romance is there without trying. | |

into the street!
There is just no pleasing some women!
It also, may set a dangerous precedent! Then, you can never
show up empty handed again!
Do any women, have any sympathy at all, or even comprehend
dating from a guys point of view, where US GUYS get our VISA
statements, for items spent on women, we are not even seeing anymore? | |

Posted: 3/14/2007 7:29:14 PM | Well the visa is probably a whole lot less than what a wedding would cost and just think of all the variety and excitement you have had dating!
Wouldn't it be better to date a variety of women and then you can be sure of what you really want in a woman......
or would you rather spend 5 to 10 thousand dollars on a wedding that might only last for a year or two and then you have to spend another 5 thousand or so on a divorce.
So you are actually getting off cheap ! | |

Posted: 3/14/2007 8:06:03 PM | I'm a fan of a single flower... or if it's going to be a long date and you don't want the poor thing to die, sometimes I'll buy seeds.
It's something that they'll remember. The flowers will last longer too. Not a first date thing though. If they're not used to me yet this gesture might seem really weird. | |

Posted: 3/14/2007 10:05:13 PM | What does one do with a flower, especially if meeting somewhere, during a date?? I've never been a plant person , as everything green that enters my house inevitably dies.
Whatever happened to getting a good ole fashioned mixed tape... Suddenly, I'm feeling slightly nostalgic  | |

Posted: 3/14/2007 10:30:52 PM | I think I would rather have the flowers after the first date, saying he had a great time and actually thought of me when he picked them out.
Definitely not a red rose... that means love and would be too much.
I actually had a guy bring me a small stuffed animal on a first date. Well, we didn't go out again, so I gave it to my son.. lol | |

Guys do that? Wow! I never thought that would be a good idea. Though I have thought of doing it ;) Guess I should have gone for it. | |
