Posted: 11/29/2007 5:13:10 PM | I think its a wonderful gesture for a SECOND date but not a first. Unless you KNOW for a fact theres gonna be at the very least a physical connection. I say this because if a man were to bring me a rose and he looked nothing like his pic I would feel in-debted way too much and guilty as blazes for sending him quickly on his way.
By the same token... a guy should think the same-- what if I give her a rose early on, realize I dont like her and she chases me harder because she thinks the gift tells a "deeper" story about my feelings?
So to sum it up-- ONLY if I knew darn sure there was at least something there to keep me for a few dates or so. | |

Posted: 11/29/2007 5:21:40 PM | i'd prefer field picked flowers.. or carnations or a mix...
roses are so beautiful and can mean many different things, depending on the colour (if he's aware of that, of course, lol ) but i think of them as being a more "intense" type flower... yeah, i know, i'm a nut 
but heck, any little thing he did to show he thought of me, would be much appreciated really | |

Posted: 11/30/2007 3:52:23 AM | ok, here is my answer.....
Out of all the dates that I have been on in the past year,,,only one man thought enough to bring a flower to our first date! This man also opened doors and pulled out my chair for me on this date! Fast forward to several weeks later,,, This guy visits me almost daily and is wonderful! Did the flower on the first date do it? No, but it sure did help him stand out,,,,,that and his manners! Men who bring flowers on a first date,,,they are winners! Women who dont appreciate this thought,,,,well they don't deserve em! | |

If its the first time I have met someone I wont class it as a date, hell, I dont know them well enough to know if I would want to date them at that point
So to me its always ONLY "meeting" someone, nothing more
Infact this whole meeting someone who is in effect practically a stranger for the first time as a "date" has always seemed just a tad desperate and pathetic to me being honest as well as introducing a lot of pressures that are unnecessary but can adversely affect the meeting because a "date" has a pass/fail or win/lose aspect to it for many people for quite obvious reasons
Just meeting with no expectations other than good company which IS fairly easy to predict however has none of those downsides, and anything after that point pretty much takes care of itself anyway | |

Posted: 12/1/2007 8:57:31 AM | hmm....
On 2nd thought maybe a 'rose' might be a bit much, some women might read too much into it, it could send the wrong message etc., but a nice 'casual' flower or 2 would be nice, at least in my opinion. Simple wildflowers can be the most beautiful at times.
I'm thinking different age groups would have different opinions on this really. There was a time when this was a very common practice, kinda gone the way of the dinosaur I guess.

Posted: 12/1/2007 1:28:07 PM | A lot of opinions here but for the most part the ladies seem to like it (this has been my experience as well ) So if the occasion should ever arise once more , I will indeed continue to bring a Flower/Flowers on a first date.
However ……
Roses in general have had specific meanings based on their colors. (kudos to those who know this)
Different Flowers can also have specific meanings as well.
And for that reason I wouldn’t show up on the First Date with a Red Rose, perhaps Yellow, Yellow with a red tip, an Orange or even a Coral (how many of you know the meaning of either without looking them up? )
Red Roses
Red roses proclaim "I love you." They are the ultimate symbol of romantic love and enduring passion. Florists can't keep up with Valentines Day demand for red roses, which makes them especially expensive in February.
Pale Pink Roses
Pale pink roses connote grace, gentleness, and gratitude.
Light Pink Roses
A joy to behold, light pink roses express fun and happiness.
Deep Pink Roses
Deep pink roses say "Thank you."
Lilac Roses
Lilac roses indicate the sender has fallen in love at first sight with the recipient and is enchanted.
White Roses
Pure white roses symbolize truth and innocence. They also send other messages: "I miss you" and "You're heavenly."
Coral Roses
Coral roses express one thing with their passionate color: Desire.
Peach Roses
Peach roses speak of appreciation, gratitude, and also sympathy.
Orange Roses
Orange roses communicate enthusiasm and desire on the part of the sender.
Yellow Roses
Yellow roses indicate friendship and freedom -- so don't send them if your intentions are romantic and long-lasting. Yellow roses are also appropriate for sending congratulations to newlyweds, graduates, Texans, and new mothers.
Yellow Roses With Red Tips
Friendship, falling in love.
Dead Roses
Regardless of the original color, dead roses say "It's over" loud and clear.
COMBINED ROSES
Put two or more colors of roses together, and a new rose meaning arises:
White Roses + Yellow Roses
A symbol of harmony.
Red Roses + Yellow Roses
A message of happiness and celebration.
Red Roses + White Roses
An indication of bonding and harmony.
Two Roses Entwined
An engagement or marriage is imminent.

Posted: 12/1/2007 1:39:14 PM | Wow, I didnt realise flowers said so much
Screw that then, perhaps a mute teddy bear might be a better idea lol
And I guess swiping some from a graveyard on the way would be a no-no too then?
And when do WE get bought flowers? (funerals excluded obviously) | |

Posted: 12/1/2007 1:40:29 PM | | I think it's absolutely awesome for a man to bring a woman flowers,ANYTIME....My girlfriend lives next door, and, her significant other boyfriend is constantly having these huge floral arrangements sent to her house. She travels alot with her job, so, several times now she has brought the beautiful arrangements over to my house, so that someone could enjoy them. She always tells me to keep the vases. I have vases coming out of my ears! Anyone want to bring me flowers ? | |

laughing out loud
I cant stop laughing a guy wants to clear his trash from the car and it causes a thread on a singles site.
He was a clean/tidy cheap skate, dump the guy and move on,
if he had turned the paper cup into a paper rose while you chatted NOW that would have been right cool - oh no that is the stuff dreams are made of. | |

Posted: 12/1/2007 2:09:27 PM | I recently had a first date with woman I've known from long ago, but haven't hardly seen through the years.
I gave her a red rose, and it felt like the most natural thing to do. because I've had real feelings for her for many years and she knew it.
Funny how these little romantic gestures feel so natural when you can express them to the woman you really want to be with. | |

Posted: 12/1/2007 2:34:56 PM | i do look at things like that. in my book a real man has manners and is chivalrous. flowers, opening doors, calling right after the date to say u had a fun time, stuff like that. i am old school when it comes to that.
for example... we didn't end up dating, but i will never forget the guy that asked me if i wanted soda, i said yes. i was eating, so he opened the fridge, got a can of Pepsi, brought it over to me, and right before he put it down near my plate, he POPPED IT OPEN. i loved him for that.
but on first dates, i watch what he does and how he does it. i am not saying a man should always pay for a date, but it did impress me when during dinner he silently went and paid the bill before it reached the table.
my thing is this on that issue - i am not the kind of woman who will take u to fancy places. i want to eat good food, in cosy lil places where u can talk and connect. if we r splitting the bill (i will always offer to), it means either we didnt connect, or if we did, he'll be asking me for money soon.... lolol | |

Posted: 12/2/2007 5:29:17 AM | | Any jerk, psycho, player, or self-described "nice guy" can bring a girl roses...it really means nothing but an unimaginative bargaining tool...seriously, how gullible and ripe for manipulation do you have to be to be impressed by some flowers from someone you're not even friends with yet? | |

Posted: 12/4/2007 11:16:28 AM | Seems to me as I read the replies here, that the women seem to enjoy the thought of a flower, even on a first date. Those that seem to be opposed to the idea appear to be the guys, for the most part. I see nothing wrong with giving flowers on a first date and have done it on numerous occasions.
Now, how many guys know that you should NEVER send a woman flowers at home? You always send them to wherever it is that she works. Of course, this will fly right over the heads of most guys.
Also, how many women have sent their guy flowers? I had a lady friend that would do that to me once in awhile (while I was at work, mind you) and it was a great thing. Flowers don't need to be a one way street.
