Maybe if you have talked alot and you really like the person so far, a flower would do, but lots of flowers is excessive and may put pressure on the person that is unnecessary on a first date. First meetings can be a little difficult as it is. | |

For all you know she could be allergic.
Plus, giving flowers to all the women you go out with doesn't set one off as special now does it? | |

Flowers are a nice gesture and generally appreciated by a woman, but I would much rather get them a few dates down the road. That would tell me that he has seen something he likes in me, rather than just an obligatory gesture. | |

Posted: 9/24/2005 2:01:49 AM | A first date could be a single rose.... or really... nothing.... I don't expect anything on a 1st date.
I was however Really surprised... by a super sweet guy that gave me one single rose... but I worried about where to put it!!!
- I had a 1st date give me four candles in these heavy jars and we had to go back out in the humidity and put them in my car because I didn't want to carry them around! They were nice candles.. but 4 was overkill!
-I had someone give me some lil glass fishies.. that was cute and he didn't give it to me until almost the end of our date.... | |

Flowers eh ? Say, you know what would just plain rock ? If a girl whipped out a sirloin steak for me on a first date. Then I'd give her the flowers I stole on the way to meet her. Everyone would be happy. If she doesn't bring the steak, I'll just eat the flowers when she turns up empty handed. | |

Posted: 9/24/2005 7:07:14 AM | Flowers are a complete waste of good money...unless you grew 'em yourself...or stole 'em from a neighbor. All there gonna do is die. Do something different man. Dig her a tree or something. Then the both of you could both get to know each other while planting it. It could take hours for her to decide where to plant it. You know?
^^^There... A first date idea that didn't cost anyone chit. My kinda date.
If you need more el-cheap-o date ideas...you know where to find me. | |

Posted: 9/24/2005 8:54:31 AM | | Once had a guy buy me a rose when we were sitting in a restaurant and they came around selling them which was kinda sweet. But I think I agree maybe 2nd or 3rd date for the big bunch. Maybe some wildflowers on a first date but even then I am not sure because she would have to spend the rest of the date carrying them around. | |

Posted: 9/24/2005 8:58:19 AM | EVERY date?! :)
I am one that LOVES the gesture of flowers...whether fresh picked, wildflowers, store-bought, etc! The exception...RED ROSES! Some people take seriously, the meaning of the colors of roses...red meaning "love" of course...is a little much on a first date. LOL
I say keep on keeping on...anyone that would think it ridiculous to receive flowers no matter what date it is...is probably not going to be in sync with your romantic nature anyway!
Someone said something about "flowers being a waste of money?" To each their own opinion...but to TELL SOMEONE that after getting them is sooooo...mean! LOL I know they eventually die...but a lot of us press our flowers and turn them into beautiful art, potpourri (I have EVERY rose ever given to me...and an Ex gave me NINE DOZEN on our 9-month "anniversary!") or preserve them in memory books. :) | |

Posted: 9/24/2005 9:37:45 AM | | I'm not big on flowers or getting gifts for that matter, it's uncomfortable for me so if someone just up and brought me something on the first meeting I'd be so outta there. I'd be waiting on takin her flowers unless it progresses into something more. Plus you'll get the chance to know her a bit better, she might be one of those women who think flowers should be left growing outside not sittin in a vase on your kitchen table dying. | |
