alphamale Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I once got a Boys to Men CD from a guy on a first date. Sounds corny, but we had talked on the phone before and had been joking about B2M. He rememberd that and brought the cd as a gift/joke. I thought it was pretty funny. did he get some action? probably not Link to post Share on other sites
The Collector Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I'd wager there is not a woman on this site who has ever had sex/a relationship with any man who ever brought one or more flowers to their third date. Link to post Share on other sites

You'll lose your shirt over that wager, not like there is much more to see of those sillicone coconuts anyway....so go for it! Link to post Share on other sites

Left in a Lurch Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Flowers during initial dating stages = bad idea. You'll feel geeky right after handing them over, especially if she seems embarrassed. No tangible good can come of it this early in the dating game. Would John Wayne, Clint Eastwood or Sam Jackson show up on a date with flowers? No, but you know who would? Clay Aiken and Donny Osmond. Truth is, buying flowers will really not do anything for the relationship so soon, but if you don't buy flowers she won't care or think, "He didn't bring flowers!". You'd be better off taking her somewhere really interesting and buying some dumb little gift as a memento on the date than shelling out for flowers. I gave flowers a couple of times when I was younger and never again. It was awkward because they seemed like they didn't know what to say so soon during dating. For all you know she hates flowers or is allergic. Don't be Clay Aiken. Link to post Share on other sites
Lizzie60 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I agree with The Collector.. It's totally ridiculous.. IMO to bring flowers on a third date.. it cries very loudly 'desperate'... Link to post Share on other sites
Trialbyfire Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 No offense but I absolutely detest small, knick-knacky gifts. They clutter things up and normally go straight into the garbage can. Link to post Share on other sites

Left in a Lurch Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 This reminds me of a time a friend slept with a girl he was really into. We were talking about him wanting to send flowers to her the next day. I almost got him to send flowers with a card that said, "We're even." Link to post Share on other sites
sally4sara Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Eww it's kind of gross to send flowers after sex, kind of like "thanks for your snatch here is a gift" Yuck! Get them now Javeling it sends a much more innocent message and it's not creepy at all it's just a nice romantic gesture it's perfect to send them now. Don't wait longer. But do a casual modest flower nicely wrapped, like Sally suggested. What flowers best say "thanks for your snatch"? :laugh::laugh: Link to post Share on other sites

missdependant Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Yes on flowers, no on bear. Get a simple bouquet, like the ones from the grocery store. Or maybe just one of the single flowers they have sitting there. Bear might be a little much. :-) Link to post Share on other sites

butcher's hook Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 You guys are funny that one flower Soul suggested is priceless, I was thinking all kinds of vajayjay thoughts in looking at that pic... I only suggested "tulips" because of the name, did anyone catch that? Say it to yourselves a few times in syllables. Link to post Share on other sites
Star Gazer Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Big fat NO to the teddy bear. Oh G-d NO! Big fat YES to a simple bouquet of bright flowers in different colors - no roses. Something light spirited, like gerbera daisies. Link to post Share on other sites

If she's a selfish lover, a venus fly trap would speak volumes. Link to post Share on other sites
Author Javelin Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 I swear, some of the comments had me laughing so hard that I started to cough! I most certainly appreciate all the input too, it really helps! I'm leaning 100% towards no gifts at the moment and this statement in particular made the most sense to me: Its waaaay too early for gifts. Shes not allowing you to take her out, shes going out with you because she wants to be in YOUR world. If you put your heart on your sleeve with flowers too early, there will be no challenge for her. She likes you already...youve gone on multiple dates with her already, you dont have to impress her with gifts. Leave the gifts for after you re an official couple. Your gift to her is your great personality, and your WORDS. Kind words are your gift to her. And make sure shes giving you some too. Matter of fact, instead of flowers, you could do more imaginitive dates, that are fun, but no gifts. She once mentioned that, 'it doesn't take much to make me happy' and 'romance is good, but not too much, too fast.' Basically stating that she wants to take things slow and build a real relationship! This gives me the impression that just having fun together is enough for her, which leads to the date itself! We'll be heading into the city to see Cirque Du Soleil with my buddy and his girlfriend and since she's huge into theatrical arts; I'm sure she'll have a blast! I think that's enough to a point where any gift(s) would be a dating overkill! Link to post Share on other sites
