persevere Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) My late Grandfather told me that, in the 30's, when they were interested in a woman the thing to do was find out where she lived. Then, show up at her door with chocolate and flowers. "Then" ask her out to the theatre. Now, you are some kind of freak-a-zoid if you are thoughtful, especially early on.

insertnamehere Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 A single flower. Be cute about it. If you show up with $70 worth of flowers, it looks desperate. Also, a bit presumptuous. Hell, don't even go for a flower shop flower. Go find a daisy. With a nice girl, you can play it out as a cute little boy move. With a tougher girl, you can play it out as a smartass deconstruction of gifting flowers (sort of a subtext of "ha! here's yer flower!")
musemaj11 Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 I dont see anything wrong with OP's wish. Personally for me I would find it a nice gesture also if a woman gave me a BJ on the first date. We all have our own wishes.

kaylan Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 You write that in almost every thread you post in. But the thread never ends. I write it in threads that ask questions with obvious answers. Its my way of saying "its pointless for this thread to continue, because itll only turn into another gender war even though the question has an obvious answer that doesnt merit multiple pages". Oh wells. I tried.
MadSworthy Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 What the hell is the difference between flowers and drinks, exactly? Girls don't get creeped when a guy buys them drinks on first dates but get creeped when a guy buys them flowers?
irc333 Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 I think in the past, it's a wonderful gesture of a true gentleman. Unfortunately with today's social climate, many women feel uncomfortable about it now. I usually attach this to how many men and women don't know each other very well now on first dates. Agreed...I even have known men who would send flowers AFTER a date (like to her work place to show he had a nice time) only to have her freak out over it. Occassionally I see women who , in the "first date" section of POF, would express wanting flowers. I personally wouldn't do it with a woman on a FIRST date, that's something you do when you're dating exclusively. Back in the day, men would do this to GAIN a woman's interest...to "woo" her into becoming your girlfriend.
