forgive me for the stupid question, but i'm still a novice at dating. i'd like to give my date flowers, but what kind? don't different flowers have different meanings associated with them?

I did give flowers on my first date, although I don't know that it was such a good idea. If you're not careful, you can give the wrong impression that you're taking things a lot more seriously than you should given that it's a first date. Take it easy, pay for everything (unless she offers), and just have a good time. You can always get flowers for a second or third date if things go really well.

 

id go with the single flower...

not a bunch of them.

just goto food store and check em out.

 

never a red rose.

On a first date, it go either way. She may like it or it may scare her off. But I would go with a single yellow rose.

 

If you want to get her trinket for the first date I've found something more personal is better then a flower, or a bunch of flowers. I was seeing this one girl a few years ago and I knew she had a cat that she loved, since I am into animals I got her cat a toy. We went on our date, came back to her place and I played with her cat(which loved the toy) and after that it was smooooooth sailing.

I've done the flowers thing, or a single flower it just feels awkward to me. On a Birthday or Valentines day for someone you know it feels a lot more natural. Don't over do it on a first date, in fact do as little as possible, the only exception is if you are absolutely crazy about the girl and have a real good idea.

 

If this is the 1st time you'll meet the girl, I think it's better if you wait until the next few dates before giving any flowers because doing so prematurely just doesn't have any meaning.

 

I've given flowers on a few first dates, just seems like the "gentleman" thing to do. It's always been taken very well, as long as you don't put too much meaning behind it, I think most women have appreciated those type of things. It does depend on the situation though I guess.

 

If anything a single yellow rose would be best IMO...

but

may want to wait till number 2 for a gesture like this

 

If she wants a gift so bad tie a red ribbon around your dick.

 

That symbolizes desperation for sex and is usually given on your 2nd wedding anniversary.

 

 

i think i may hold off on the gift or flowers idea for now. hopefully i'll have a second date with her and it may be to my company xmas party. it'll be quite an evening and maybe a flower will be more appropriate then.

although i really do like this woman, i think i'll be reserved and not seem over eager and scare her off. at the same time, i don't want to seem aloof and make her think i don't like her. does this make sense? just fyi, she does like me.

 

You're thinking too much.

I know it's hard to not overanalyze every situation since you're somewhat new to the dating scene, but try not to analyze every situation to death. You'll just end up feeling uncomfortable and you will end up making her feel uncomfortable as a result. Just be you, since that's who she likes, and enjoy each other's company.

 

i think that's what i needed to hear.

just so you understand, i was always the fat kid growing up and i guess i developed a problem with low self esteem. this woman hot and i still can't beleive that she likes me and i'm excited that she does.

 

 

i agree with what some others have said...

either do one single nice flower as a gesture or NOTHING at all because then she might come to expect things like this all the time and you've dug yourself a hole.

just be funny and give her a good time, you're already payin for whatever it is already (dinner movie etc) i assume, so no need. save that stuff for relationships like 1 mo anniversaries and bigger stuff like that

 

Single red rose, you shmucks. Learn from europeans.

Girl cannot really judge you based on the first date only, unless she is dumb or ignorant bitch. 3-4 dates should reveal the ON or OFF.

 

Roses are too serious, especially for a first date. Go with something like wildflowers or sunflowers-they aren't expensive, but you still are caring. Every girl loves to get flowers, and its a good step for introducing you to her friends-she will call them and be like "ooo he got me a beautiful sunflower or whatever, and her friends will be like "oooo hes so nice"

 

On the 1st date, 1 single red rose will do just fine

 

What like poor oral hygiene, bad manors and a lack of shaving certain areas?

 

Flowers are overrated. Find out what she likes and get her something along those lines. Flowers are unoriginal. Anyone can stop at the gas station on the way to her house.

Be more original than a frigginstupid flower thats gonna die anyways.

 

 

from my experience, no flower, TRUST ME

 

Flowers are a very nice sentiment, but the act of giving them can be mis-read any number of different ways. Unless you know a girl very well (previous friendship, etc.), I would not recommend any.

If I were to receive flowers on a first date, I would be a little wary and wonder what the man expects at the end of the evening.

 

ok, so no flowers.

 

1 flower dude and that's it, if the 1st date doesn't go well, at least you didn't spend a fortune on flowers.
