lance.dark Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 On a first date, would it be a good thing or a bad thing to bring flowers?
SummersEve Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Very nice. Most guys don't so it will make her feel special.
Ross PK Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 LOL. Nooooooooo! At least where I'm from that'd be the corniest, weirdest thing you could do. Even giving your girlfriend flowers would be unbelievably corny.
GreenPolicy Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 DO NOT bring flowers to a first date. Flowers are something you do for a girlfriend, not a first date. You will come across as trying too hard.
sally4sara Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 I've had that happen. The guy who brought a single rose came off corny. The guy who showed up with a small clutch of stock came off like he was just a nice dinner guest. Like it was just what he would do for anyone who invited him into their home for dinner. I'm a florist.
SweetDaphne Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 On a first date, would it be a good thing or a bad thing to bring flowers? Lance - Flowers are nice, but I have questions. Is this an internet date or have you met her before? If its the first time meeting her, I'd wait on the flowers, see how the date goes, and if a second date comes along -then bring flowers. If you've known her for a bit and this is your first 'date' together - bring some flowers, it can't hurt and shows you're a bit of a romantic.
Author lance.dark Posted April 1, 2011 Author Posted April 1, 2011 Daphne, this isn't an internet date. I've talked to her in person before for a few minutes and we've talked on the phone a little. We certainly don't know each other well though.

We certainly don't know each other well though. Then I'd wait for the second date. It won't hurt waiting and she'd be that much more surprised (and appreciative) on the second date. Have fun!
Feelin Frisky Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Then I'd wait for the second date. It won't hurt waiting and she'd be that much more surprised (and appreciative) on the second date. Have fun! I second. I hope you don't get a neurotic like I did who EXPECTED flowers every time after I first gave them to her. Careful.
SingVoice Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Definitely wait until the second or third date. I had a guy give me a rose on the first date (was an internet guy) and while it didn't turn me off...I felt like he didn't really know me enough to be so forward. Then I had a guy get me a bouquet on our second date (it also happened to be Sweetest Day). Again...it didn't turn me off or anything...but he also probably shouldn't have told me he got the same exact bouquet for his MOTHER. Haha. I think the flowers will mean more to her if you wait a few dates.
tryingtocurerj Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 I agree with everyone saying definitely do not bring flowers on the first date. But once she's a girlfriend it's an amazing thing to do. The only guys that will tell you otherwise are insecure about trying to not appear like a "weak man" or some crap But your mentality of why your bringing flowers definitely affects the act of doing it. I'm sure some guys could easily get away with bringing flowers on the first date, but it'd be easier to just avoid the chance of it being corny
Emissary Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 This comes from a lot of experience, the best thing to bring with you on the first date is corn syrup, just buy a jug of that and hand it to her when you greet her. I don't know what is about corn syrup, but women LOVE corn syrup. It's like some crazy aphrodisiac, this one date I greeted this cute girl and I just poured that corn syrup all over my body, we didn't even end up going on date, she just dragged me to bed where we made wild love, but when the corn syrup ran out things kind of turned nasty, got kicked out of the house, butt naked with pillow feathers plastered all over my sticky naked bod.

NXS Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 I've never understood this, why do women like flowers? Is it a social construct or is there something more in it?
Emissary Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 I've never understood this, why do women like flowers? Is it a social construct or is there something more in it? Well flowers are pretty, and girls like stuff like that. But there is also a lot of symbolic meaning integrated into the presentation of flowers, like I bet you didn't know that the specific amount of roses and what colour they are is supposed to indicate how you feel about her.
NXS Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 I bet you didn't know that the specific amount of roses and what colour they are is supposed to indicate how you feel about her. Yes, I'm clueless about that, all I keep thinking is why handing over rotting flowers is so important and what a nuisance it is to have to carry them around all night.
Disillusioned Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 On a first date, would it be a good thing or a bad thing to bring flowers? Why not? Red roses would be a little too over-the-top though... save those for when you're ready to propose. Avoid yellow or purple flowers because in some cultures they're only used for funerals. Yellow roses are ok if you're dating a Texan.
Disillusioned Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 I've never understood this, why do women like flowers? Is it a social construct or is there something more in it? Well duh, didn't you ever take biology in school? A flower is a plant's wiener!
NXS Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 Well duh, didn't you ever take biology in school? A flower is a plant's wiener! Don't know what biology lessons you took but they weren't the same as mine. So I'm going with the social construct.
SummersEve Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 Well duh, didn't you ever take biology in school? A flower is a plant's wiener! HA!
