| Men who arrive for the 1st date with a rose.....do women like it?
Posted: 5/18/2007 7:20:30 AM | I recently got the most fantastic gift ever on a first date.
He gave me flowers, but also something else that showed me that he was thoughtful, that he listened to me, that he was creative and that (before even meeting me) he thought I was worth some effort ...
Regardless how long he's in my life, the standard he's set for a first date will definitely last for any after him to beat. | |

In this day and age, at times, I think some women expect too much from men...I have talked to several women who expect flowers on a first date and its so wrong!
"The secret of happiness is not to expect..." And thats why I'm so darn happy! | |

I would never expect this type of behavior but it WOULD be much appreciated! and no I've never recieved flowers like this before. Actually the only people I've ever gotten flowers from were my 2 male best friends.
1 was for prom and the other was just because (and he is so sweet and thoughtful.. that's just how he is!) | |

Posted: 7/17/2007 5:40:44 PM | While women are drawn to guys to make them feel emotion, flowers aren't the magic bullet. Why? Cause being this clever may make some women think you are buying them off. Actually any guy can bring flowers to a date, how you will set your self off as being different isn't in what you give out, or how romantic you may seem. Being thoughtful is a bit of arrogance which any charmer, or player can say to get to the supposed first base. Women do not want to feel as though they are being manipulated by gifts, no matter the intention. You are far better off to be yourself, involve the woman in your presence...be receptive, and cute...listen more than you speak, and appeal to her rich sense of emotion to connect both of you together. If the chemistry is right, then the stars will align, and all that other romantic stuff can happen, once you intrigue her with your attention, and charm.

Posted: 7/18/2007 11:14:27 AM | | I think the idea of buying a rose makes sense if it is for someone who is my girlfriend already. It is for a woman I already know about, have learned enough about her to really appreciate her, and I would most certainly buy my significant person not only rose, but a dozen roses even and sometimes just one to show that I appreciate that she's in my life. Roses make people somehow feel happy. A person who is sharing good times with you makes you happy and they deserve the rose... I would prefer romancing a woman I've learned to appreciate. | |

Posted: 7/18/2007 1:52:04 PM | | If it's a blind date/first meeting, it's a total turn off. You don't know the person well enough to give her a rose. She'll think you have feelings for her already. If you want to be polite, open the door for her or something. A rose is just going too far. And you never know. She might not be into gifts. | |

Posted: 7/26/2007 11:00:25 AM | Sorry I totally disagree, he wants romance before he even knows you, I would not feel under pressure but some woman may.
Tulips are a far better token as they are fresh and light, cheerful and a warm, not romantic, welcome to the evening, a single rose means ' i love you', I have never loved on the first date, have you?
Keep romance as you turn the pages of your chapter in the realtionship, don't give an ending before it has begun. | |

Posted: 7/26/2007 11:04:02 AM | | i had a man show up for a first date with my favorite candy and a burned cd of songs he liked (he said they made him think of me from our conversations)or we had discussed mutual interest in. it was so sweet that he had paid attention and gone to the trouble! flowers are nice,but i agree with the above poster,they make me sad when i have to throw them away cause they die. i'm a unexpected gift giver myself,so if a man went to the trouble and surprised me,he would gain points! | |

Posted: 7/26/2007 11:04:39 AM | I have had a rose on a first date and loved it ( I also Had flowers on 3 dates in a row,only to find out that he was not as separated as he said) but I still love the gesture and it can be any flower even a buttercup or a daisy from the garden....I would love it all the same.
I even return the favour! I took a rose and a picnic lunch to a man I had been on a few dates with and he was speechless! Nobody had ever brought him a flower before. We had to find an empty water bottle for it. He totally loved it! | |

Posted: 7/26/2007 11:36:26 AM | I did receive a bouquet of roses after a first date! I knew he was a sweetheart and he's the one that stole my heart away way back when. 
Receiving them after the first date had more of an impact on me.
Haven't received any flowers since then. | |

Posted: 7/26/2007 1:17:22 PM | I think the best thing a man can do on a first date is arrive with a rose.
I think it's kind of cliche my self to show up with a rose why should I give some one a flower I hardly even know it has that whole "I'm willing to pamper you" persona.
I'd rather save the rose for a later date in getting to know her I guess to me they are a symbol of affection for feeling I'd rather have flourish before getting all sappy. | |

Posted: 7/26/2007 1:32:44 PM | too much, too soon, too cliche.
Best gift I ever got was a letter asking me to a concert a few weeks down the line, saying he would call at 7:18 in a few days for the answer, he put a wooden match in the envelope, stating he hoped it represented the beginning of lighting a fire. We were together for a year and a half after.  | |

Posted: 7/26/2007 3:31:41 PM | If I knew the woman in person, I might show up with flowers depending on how much I liked her. Not a rose, flowers.
If it was a woman I met on the internet, I would not show up with a rose or flowers. I think that might be perceived as pushy and lets face it, I might not be attracted to her in person or I might find her personality not for me and on the off the chance she felt different I would not want to start off the meeting with presumptions of romance in the air.
Whether or not women like it, I don't really know. I am not one. A woman that is.
Like I said it depends on the circumstances. Noone ever knocked me over the head with them...Then again I can count on 3 fingers the times I have showed up on a first date flowers in hand.
