| Men who arrive for the 1st date with a rose.....do women like it?
Posted: 10/9/2007 7:27:51 AM | It's a sweet gesture for a first date & definitely a nice surprise, but not neccessary. I think if things progress & you are hitting it off, flowers would be nice once in awhile.
I am also one to bring HIM the occasional flower!
Is THAT wrong??
LOL!!!

Posted: 10/9/2007 7:51:20 AM | | I definately don't expect a flower on the first date. But that would be a very sweet and romantic gesture. I guess maybe that is why most of my dates don't past to the 2nd date. I don't bring flower/s to a guy unless I am really into them. And, when I am into a dude, I am really into him. | |

Posted: 10/9/2007 9:00:36 AM | I love it! Even when my son was a little guy, he discovered that mom loves the flower gesture and he continues today to be a loving wonderful son and husband/family man.
Let's make sure our little boys understand how sweet that gesture is and they will grow into guys who get loads of love in return. | |

Posted: 10/9/2007 9:13:40 AM | Virtually every female who's responded to this thread has said that it would be a much appreciated romantic gesture.
Yet I'm forever seeing threads on these forums from
a) Girls who freaked out that their date brought them flowers on the first date
b) Guys complaining they go to the effort of getting flowers etc but find their date totally nonplussed by the gesture
I think in many cases there's a bit of a gap between the fantasy and the reality of this gesture...
The Fantasy: a gorgeous guy you already have some feelings for, confident and charming, makes a romantic gesture when he meets up with you. Butterflies in stomach time.
The Reality: some guy you've never met before shows up with flower(s), but you're not even sure whether you like him 'that way' yet. Feels a bit creepy that he's trying so hard so soon. | |

Posted: 10/9/2007 9:32:56 AM | To all the sweet ladies on this thread who have said they'd love it - thanks for the smiles. To the few who say they would hate it or think the guy had "motives" or was "trying too hard" or "you can get them anywhere", sorry you have such negative attitudes. Please don't complain when you end up with guys whom you've either picked out because they aren't romantic at all, or who you teach to not be romantic.
Its not about the cost, a single rose or other flower is not more than $2-3 around here. Its not about "ulterior motives" at least for most guys, and as for "you can get them anywhere" well heck, you can get diamonds and jewelry "anywhere" or at least several places within a few miles of anywhere I'm at in this metro area, so if THAT'S your reasoning, hope you never expect any of that later in a relationship either.
I'll usually bring a flower, or a bear or something, the first time I pick her up at her place, rather than the "first date" because then she doesn't have to carry it around. If she doesn't appreciate it - well, I'm glad I did it early, helps me figure out she's not the gal for me.  | |

Huh? Creepy? Trying so hard? I feel none of those when a guy shows up with a flower for me on a first date. Just the total opposite actually. Breaks the ice nicely when someone for the first time. Makes me feel like he is generous, thoughtful, and wants to make me happy. And it does. | |

Posted: 10/9/2007 12:11:25 PM | | I believe most men should be able to read a woman and figure out if she's the type that likes roses. I love to do something memorable on the first date because you can only have one first date with this person. I haven't met the rose type in a long time, but when I do you better believe she's getting a rose on day one. | |

Posted: 10/9/2007 12:25:13 PM | I agree when a man shows up with a single red rose it makes my heart stop. I makes me feel that he put some thought into the date. From past experience I know that if a man makes an effort to stop and purchase a rose than he will have something great planned, or he is great at winging it and we will have a great time.. | |

Posted: 10/9/2007 12:29:22 PM | To those who are really creeped out about this, you must really put things in perspective. A guy can go to a gas station and buy a $2 rose or get a dozen for $12.99 and that creeps you out. I would understand if he sent you hundreds of dollars worth of flowers to your job, but not a cheap little rose or dozen.
Trust me, there's nothing creeping about a guy putting down a $2 investment on you. Come on now. | |

Posted: 10/9/2007 1:00:20 PM | I'm a very romantic guy and I love roses but I'm sure you ladies already had a clue from my screen name.
With that said, I would not bring a rose on a first date because to me a rose is a very strong gesture of love. I might bring another type of flower though as a kind way of showing my date that I appreciate them.
As odd as it may sound, if things turned romantic and got a bit more serious then I actually would love for a woman to give me a rose or flowers! I really enjoy flowers and yes roses are my favorite. | |

Posted: 10/9/2007 4:11:59 PM | Very thoughtful and sweet.....not over the top plus I love roses! It shows they possess a little more intelligence than the one that shows up with the trash to throw out (that was pathetic OP!!). I'm sure that was an interesting date!  | |

Posted: 10/9/2007 5:01:12 PM | rosesforyou said it perfectly in a nutshell...
it's like the emails here. you know you can give a rose to someone. if i got a rose from someone i did not know or hardly knew it would definetly creep me out. it is a very strong gesture to get a rose.
One time I went out to my car to go to school and there was a rose on my windshield. THat almost made me piss myself....very creepy indeed | |

Posted: 10/9/2007 6:23:55 PM | | I dont like to try to get a girl to like me on the first date, its more of a feel out process, and If i bring her stuff then she thinks "oh he likes me" so I will buy flowers maybe down the road, I personally date to see if we even get along and not worry about any relationship. | |

Posted: 10/10/2007 10:04:38 AM | | I don't understand why a woman would like a rose, of all flowers, from a guy you are on a "blind date" with. It seems like, from a guys point of view, a desp[erate move. I prefer to give flowers as a sign that I like where we are! And to show that I like the woman. Also, rarely do I get roses, once you learn about a woman, she will UNDOUBTLY inform you of the type of flowers she likes...you just have to listen!:) | |

Posted: 10/10/2007 10:35:02 AM | This has actually never happened to me. Now I feel stiffed :(
If it DID happen I think there would be a double standard in that, if I liked him, I would be happy, but if I didn't like him, I would roll my eyes and go "oh God, not another one" | |
