Posted: 7/26/2007 4:04:32 PM | | I don't think there should be any gift exchange of any sort on the 1st date and I don't like it how everyone thinks that the man should be the one to bring flowers either. The 1st date should be about getting to know each other not trying to buy there affection with gifts. The way I see it, money has nothing to do with love. | |

If you're out and you know those people who walk around selling the long stem roses. If the date is going amazing and you want to maybe start taking it to the next level, buy one of those. That would be more meaningful to me at least. | |

Posted: 7/31/2007 10:57:48 AM | You know...all you girls on here complaining that men never do this anymore...have you thought to ask "why?" . It's rare because you and your sisters have trained us over time that this is NOT a good thing.
I have pretty much given up on the spontaneous romantic gestures because I got tired of hearing "I hate ___ because my ex used to do that after he cheated on me" or some other nice little story.
So, ladies, clap yourselves on the back and say "congratulations" for once again letting feminism ruin what you know is good for relationships! | |

I think they tend to think it is old fashioned and that the women may think too much of it. I just think it's a sweet gesture that lets me know he actually thought of me and making me smile. | |

| Men who arrive for the 1st date with a rose.....do women like it? Posted: 8/6/2007 9:14:57 PM | | Years ago I worked at a job delivering flowers. I KNOW how most women love to get flowers. I once delivered roses to a woman in her 40s and they were the first ones she ever got, which I found sad. I have given a single rose on a first date and the women who received it were very happy about it and thought that it showed class. I bet they still smile when they think of it. I know there are those who disagree, but that is my experience. | |

| Men who arrive for the 1st date with a rose.....do women like it? Posted: 8/6/2007 10:12:25 PM | I Love flowers when someone comes to pick-me up for a date at my house or if I am making a home cooked meal for someone (of course after we have been going out for a while)
Flowers are right up there with a gentlemen insisting he take care of all the dinner/entertainment expenses that occurred during your dates. A true gentlemen.
I dated this one gentlemen who would bring me flowers after we starting dating a few months, and then he found out I tossed out my old smoke alarms and had none. Next date he picked me up on, instead of flowers he brought smoke dectectors. He was concerened about my safety in my home. It meant just as much if not more than the flowers. | |

Posted: 8/18/2007 2:01:28 PM | ooooch...bitter man... hey I have been cheated on and had my heart broken but I never judge someone on my past experiences..... be who you are and expect them to be who they are if you don't like it move on.... if you do like then great...
Sounds like the women you have made these gestures to in the past are shaking their bones in the closet to do the poor me I have had such a hard time I am so damaged by the past... I wouldn't have bought them a rose I would have booked them some therapy and told them to behave themselves
there is enough negativity in the world.... appreciate if someone does something nice for you.....
sorry don't mean to offend anyone who is holding onto their 'my boyfriend was such a bast&&& cards.... | |

| Men who arrive for the 1st date with a rose.....do women like it? Posted: 8/18/2007 2:01:54 PM | Well, I fell in love with the last man who did that on our first date. A year later, here I am, but c'est la vie. I still have that rose (dried) and plan to keep it as a memento to the love that we had.
I think its sweet. I really do... of course, I have a decent green thumb, so a living flower/plant is even better. :) But no matter what, I appreciate the thought, the romance in the gesture. | |

Do you realy think he wants to be a friend. What up with black & white pics. How long ago did you take them. | |
