Ed the 3rd Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 So meeting someone next week and I noticed a new type of chocolate for sale at the store I'm working at so I picked it up for her. Its a tiny little thing Hello, nice to sweet you <3 #chocolate #lindt #paques #heart #sweet #chocolat #coeur #bordeaux | Flickr - Photo Sharing! I honestly think its sweet and quite tasteful since its small, inexpensive and doesn't scream desperation or just make the whole encounter a total cheese fest but in this day and age are gifts on a first date to much in your opinion? This is just a general question I know everyone's different and so. I'm happy with what I got anyway
darkmoon Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 tbh, most women would not want fattening food but yes it is a nice gesture, but don't be surprised if they do not all get eaten
dasein Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Personally, not on a first date, but it's no big deal either way and is a nice gesture.
clia Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 I think any kind of gift is too much for a first date.
Author Ed the 3rd Posted July 23, 2013 Author Posted July 23, 2013 tbh, most women would not want fattening food but yes it is a nice gesture, but don't be surprised if they do not all get eaten I took that into mind being a bit of a health freak. It only has like 5 little hearts in it. The picture makes it look massive lol.
KathyM Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 I think it's kind of cute. A little corny, maybe, but still cute. My husband sent me flowers after our first date, which really impressed me, and I think it's a nice gesture to give an inexpensive gift of some kind if the date went well. Normally, I would suggest giving the gift after the date, but since this gift says "Nice to Sweet You", giving it at the beginning is the way to go. Just don't go overboard on the gift giving, or she will think you are trying too hard.
todreaminblue Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 you are giving lindt chocky.......sigh......lindt is heavenly.......its a thoughtful gesture and should be appreciated in my opinion.....deb 2

2sure Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 I think chocolate is appropriate on any occasion. But the Lindt heart just didn't do it for me.
Star Gazer Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 I think chocolate is appropriate on any occasion. But the Lindt heart just didn't do it for me. This. I'd LOVE some chocolate! Hand it over!!! I'd get her some other shaped box. The heart is too much. 1
kaylan Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Cooooorrrrrnnnnyy. Do do it OP. Thats an over the top nice guy move. And you know what they call nice guys? Just friends. 1
MrNate 2.0 Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 tbh, most women would not want fattening food but yes it is a nice gesture, but don't be surprised if they do not all get eaten Except that won't happen. Women are notorious snackers.
miss_jaclynrae Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 On our first date we went to a chocolate shop and picked out a ton of different types, plopped down on a bench by the river, sat taste testing random ones and talking. Chocolates are yummy!
Divasu Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 you are giving lindt chocky.......sigh......lindt is heavenly.......its a thoughtful gesture and should be appreciated in my opinion.....deb It's a sweet gesture. Lindt chocs are deeeelicious, especially the truffles. Yum!
kaylan Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 OP, if you really want to get her chocolate for a first date.... *hands card* My card. The lady will be quite pleased sir, as I am a full flavored dark chocolate. (Caution: May contain peanuts) 3

Holy ****... i just teared up inside.... quoting Dr Glover... there is hope for you Now all you have to do is follow through
Phantom888 Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 really not a big deal. go for it. ask her to share so you can eat it together. chocolate is awesome. there is never a bad time for chocolate.
Ninjainpajamas Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Kind of screams mini-valentines day to me, but I wouldn't recommend gifts so early on...now if you go on the date and there's icecream or whatever else that you come across, you're already on the date...I mean you wouldn't show up on the date with an icecream right? nevermind, this is LS. But honestly, depending on how much the girl is interested in you will be the determining factor...If she likes you it'll be a sweet welcome gesture, If she doesn't it'll be a nice gesture but feel a bit creepy with the heart shaped box of chocolates. However in either situation she will eat them nom nom nom. Unless you really fugly and she might give you them right back.
FitChick Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 I'd like it. Love chocolate in any shape or form as long as it is good quality. Lindt is very good and not outrageously expensive. Godiva is over rated and got worse when they were bought by an American company. If you were taking her out for coffee, chocolate would go nicely. Be mindful of the weather though during the summer. You don't want a mess on your or her hands. I never heard of Dr. Glover and I've received nice presents and trips from men before the three month mark. Depends on the man and your relationship.

This is just a general question I know everyone's different and so. I'm happy with what I got anyway Most women like gifts, I'd appreciate it and that would win me over. It's cute, most women like chocolate, and it's not something overly expensive to the point that it comes off creepy. I say go for it! It makes you seem sweet, thoughtful and romantic. I don't see you losing by doing this
CptSaveAho Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 you wouldn't show up on the date with an icecream right? nevermind, this is LS. Haha (10 chars)
Author Ed the 3rd Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 Eh I didn't think to hard about the shape of the box. I can always keep it for a second date.
Ninjainpajamas Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Eh I didn't think to hard about the shape of the box. I can always keep it for a second date. Just flip it around and tell her its a nutsack...that should go well.
