i bring the rose to where they work and drop it off at lunch time before our first date
OH MY!!!! This would get the poor sap dumped before the first date even started!!! Calling me at work used to get guys dumped (before I was a housewife obviously).....no questions asked, no second chances.....YOU DO NOT F**K WITH ME AT WORK!!! | |

The trick is, that is if you like the girl enough, to giver her A flower, or something little that she would appreciate, nothing super nice. (I would prefer a card or note etc) AFTER the first date on ANOTHER day. You also can't just go up to her then next day or 2 days later and hand her the gift. You have to be crafty, and give it to her in some way she wouldn't expect. Catch her off guard. Even a little card, "last night I saw/herd/ thought of such and such and it reminded me of you, so while I was thinking about you I decided to make this card and tell you how much of an amazing time I had last night. I hope you had fun too, because you and I are doing something next weekend meet me at so and so place and so and so time. I promise you wont regret it" they eat that stuff up AND KEEP IT. That’s the key, originality, timing and the actual gift. Roses die and chocolate gets eaten. That card will last for ever if the girl wants it to. | |

Posted: 4/18/2007 3:46:25 PM | Oh good God,
I've got a first date this Friday and I've forgotten all about crap like this and the drama behind it. I'm cancelling the violin player, sending the roses back to the florist, suspending the boat ride in the harbor, and nixing the nice dinner.
She can meet me at McDonalds and I'll give her a Venus flytrap. I'll tell her it reminds me of her.
First dates rock! If they don't like flowers, well that's a definite sign of someone I won't be dating...
Reminds me, that damn boat captain never did get back to me...got work to go do...
Cheers! | |

Posted: 4/18/2007 3:48:46 PM | | If a man were to arriave for the 1st date with a rose, i'd actually be willing to accept it. I honestly don't like rose's, and I tend to make that stand out right away - and well if the man ever forgot - i'd still be happy and like it - just not as much ... better show up with a Carnation.... | |

Posted: 5/14/2007 6:37:48 AM | Bringing a lady flowers any time is a very sweet gesture...even a sweeter gesture on the first date...a girl can never have enough flowers...kinda like jewellery... just kidding...roses are beautiful...but very over priced...if I remember correctlty...red roses are a symbol of love...pale pink roses symbolize gratitude...white roses symbolize purity and innocence...yellow roses symbolize friendship...and last but not least...sending some one dead roses says it's OVER...some one said once...bringing a lady one rose on a first date is showing affection...but I'm not going to go broke doing it... ...carnations are also beautiful...and a lot less money...if it's one flower or a bunch of flowers...I say WTG guys... keep up the good work...yes you're right orchidtigress...any gesture is a nice sign...well... maybe not a porn movie and a box of condoms...lol. | |

Posted: 5/14/2007 7:10:43 AM | | hmmm interesting thread, i was recently chastised for just such an action, i guess it depends on what is discussed before hand, some school of thought suggests bringing a rose to a first meet means there is an expectation of something else or being to forward, others such as yourself see it as ok,, ok mine was overkill i guess, i brought a dozen roses to a first meet but only to find they had stood me up 4 occasions,, so 4 dozen went in the garbage, from what i learned on the forums from different ladies posts is some like flowers on first meet, some dont,but a dozen would be a nono, time to get out womans handbook,, oh thats right, they dont have one,, lol, just an attempt at humour over very complex question. | |

Posted: 5/14/2007 8:16:41 AM | A single rose on a first date might be too strong a message. A single red rose is symbolic of love.
However, I recently had a date and was truly floored and surprised (happily) by the bouquet of flowers he brought for me. They were stunning, and not your corner store 2.99 arrangements. Everytime I looked at those flowers for the next few days, I smiled. The gesture was romantic, sweet and appreciated.
As to the coffee cup...I wonder...had you not looked out the window, not seen him carrying something...would it have mattered that he asked if he could use your garbage can? I think your own expectation that perhaps he brought you a gift, was quickly dashed...and the common sense that he chose to remove the cup from his car and not pollute your yard by just tossing it was not considered.
Expect nothing, then you can be truly surprised if and when it happens. I think men get such crossed messages from women, they don't know if they should bring anything but themselves. Romance has been trounced by feminism, and chivalry has also taken a blow. We are all on the steep learning curve of this new world of love, dating and relationships.

Posted: 5/14/2007 8:22:15 AM | I have done roses for the first date... or the flower of thier choice.
What I try to do sometimes is find out thier fav flower (via them or through a friend) that way i can suprise them and get them what they want...
shows that you are not only willing to do effort but the leg work as well... | |

Posted: 5/14/2007 8:31:22 AM | lol i like that , a mac d cup! bless ya!
Well i have had men show up with flowers , wine or chocs, its really nice of them .So sweet.
I don`t expect it on 1st dates, but some have been nice enough surprise me. I`m not used to being treated, was with someone who never bothered, so its flattering whenever someone treats me.
but i like them to bring themselves!! anything else is a bonus!

Posted: 5/14/2007 8:39:24 AM | i had a man do that for me last year because it also happened to be my birthday. it was sweet. But the gentleman a few posts above who said he sends one after the date, i really like that...he's taking the time and effort afterwards to let you know that he appreciated your company and is thinking about you.
But the best thing a date ever did for me was actually take the time to search online to find out what homeopathy was as i had listed it as an interest. It blew me away. Not his knowledge of the subject matter (he admitted he didn't know much about it) but that he took that kind of time to better understand me prior to even meeting me.
so, yep, flowers on a first date are nice (and i'm a flower freak) but not necessary. | |

Posted: 5/14/2007 11:50:12 AM | | I rarely bring anything for the first date, you just can't tell what to bring and how it will be received anymore. However, the second is when I try to bring something. I personally don't like flowers, the smell makes me physically ill. So they are usually out. However, by the second date, I usually know what type of animal or object is her favorite and bring her something based off of that. After the first date though, if things went well, I will send a card (in this time of the internet, an ecard) telling her how much of a good time I had and that I was thinking of her. | |

Posted: 5/14/2007 12:03:40 PM | I think the most important thing is for them to arrive with a pleasant demeanor and be ready to experience the date or meeting at hand. When two people meet for the very first time, it can be kind of a big deal.
It could be just another in a series of meetings/dates, or it could be that this one is 'the' one, (if that's what you're looking for). Don't you both owe it to yourselves to be as open and pleasant with that other person as possible? I think a pleaseant demeanor can overshadow many other things. | |

Posted: 5/18/2007 7:04:38 AM | | I was surprised to receive beautiful flowers on a first date, made the whole introduction process a little bit smoother. We lasted 6 months together, my very happy months, getting flowers often and for no occassion. What really puzzled me was the fact that after 4 months, there was the Valentines Day and I did my best: prepared dinner, bought a small gift, gave him a huge hug, kiss and a smile and he showed up with NOTHING! No flower for me on THAT day. | |
