Posted: 3/14/2007 10:39:24 PM | To a_sweet_fishy - No problemo....*sigh* where have all the power ballads gone...
I suppose flowers are nice, but, so is using your imagination and bringing her something completely unique.
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.
Guys used to do that, especially when I was a teenager and power ballads were in vogue. | |

I guess the problem I'd have is if it's a first date, I'd feel like I didn't know her tastes well enough to be creative. I like to know the person well enough to make such gifts special... | |

Posted: 3/15/2007 2:54:34 AM | ^ Yeah.... the chances of picking something totally random that makes her go, "Why the hell would you think I'd want THAT discourage too much creativity."
One time I bought the ex a can opener. She lost hers, and I spent the afternoon watching a very hungry woman trying to open a can of soup with a hammer and a screw driver. It was funny and sad all at once.

Posted: 3/15/2007 7:53:47 AM | | I'm generally a flower person... I want to ask though, by showing up on the first date with flowers do I set the bar too high for myself? I like to buy little gifts, but if I created the obligation to do so that would take all of the fun out of it. I would hate to end up in competition with myself. | |

Showing up with a car is usually expect. Most women aren't very impressed with a date that includes a bus ride.
(Some venues are an exception, e.g. New York City) | |

No showing up with a car to give her !!
I actually thought I didn't understand? I chose to take it in another direction because it was much funnier that way.
I think it would be funny to see what happens
You really don't want to be taken to one of those places. I've had two friends that spent time in pysch units and visiting them there was quite educational. | |

Posted: 3/15/2007 1:19:52 PM | | I think it's an extremely nice gesture. It doesn't have to be a rose. (Though carnations remind me too much of Mother's Day, and don't seem very romantic to me .) Only three of my many online dates greeted me with flowers, and that gesture really wowed me. It made me feel like they thought I was special at the get-go. | |

Posted: 3/30/2007 1:05:23 PM | | I always bring flowers on the first date, is that wrong? I dont expect nothing in return for doing so either. I thought on a first date thats what your suppose to bring as a freindly gesture. I dunno its been over 10 years since i have been on the dating scene. I dont just bring roses either, usually a nice medium size basket of assortment of bright colored flowers. | |

I was thoughtful enough to bring to the first date a gerbil…
She (my date) was surprised and delighted…
Then I quickly put it back in my trouser pocket before the
waitress spotted it…
Later that evening she (my date) got curious, and started
searching for my “Trouser Mouse”
The gerbil got jealous and called a cab…went home early! | |

Recently a sweetheart of a guy brought me a dozen pink roses for a first date - I thought it was so adorable a gesture!
Arghhh.... Nothing like being put in the "nice guy" category on the first date.
Guys... If you're goin to do this, don't be a dweeb. If you must, then bring only one. And for god's sake, make sure it's not a red one, and cut the stem to about 4 inches (no longer). When you give it to her, kiss her on the cheek at the same time, and tell her she looks good. Not great, not beautifull, not amazing, not anything else (If it's venus incarnate, bite your tongue real hard.). | |

Posted: 3/30/2007 8:03:50 PM | | There seems to be a majority of women here who don't care to get a flower or more on the first date ...and especially not store bought ones. For those who might want something else, do you let on beforehand for your "obsessions" instead. Last g/f let the living baby rosebush die in a week ...and shared too late that her father gave her chocolate roses for Valentines's Day. I felt 'strung along' by one who claimed to be ISO more than a bed buddy. I should've paid more note to her lack of a green thumb ...and deep love of her tractor. | |
