I would prefer to get them after a relationship begins to show his affection for me when he really begins to care about me. Getting them on a first date would have no meaning, just something that he probably does on all first dates.

I would rather have wild flowers hand picked. but if one must spend money I prefer a nice bottle of wine but not on a first date. Just when I feel comfortable enough to invite him to my home. I love to cook and now I don't get much of a chance. Buts that is just what I like.

Its a gesture that millions of men use---its still popular around here--there are roses and bouquets for sale in almost every store around this city. Surely someone is buying them.

Or if she did not like you, will it end up being why don't women like nice guys(because you broought her flowers) To me, you give this to someone to express your liking of them or interest. If that is not the case an you just like making someone smile no matter the outcome, that is genuinely nice. I just feel a little uncomfortable with it, of course I am gracious and thank him for the flowers. [Edited 12/2/2010 8:26:03 PM ]

julymorning10 Saint James, MO 64, joined Aug. 2010	On one date with a dher a couple of years ago, I thought it was super sweet that he had a flowers in a vase for me. I had brought him a little gift too, an etched wolf in a glass prism cube. The date was very uncomfortable because he wouldn't keep his hands off me. Looking back I hope giving me the flowers didn't make him feel entitled. Being ever optimistic, I'd still think the gesture sweet and try not to imagine it comes with strings.

If someone is kind enough to present me with any thoughtful thing like that, I would graciously and happily accept it. I don't assign ulterior motives to a person's nice gesture, and those who do and believe it speaks of desperation or expectations or God forbid--he didn't think just I was special enough, he gives them to everyone has serious issues, and probably will never be pleased by anything because they will always assign nefarious reasons for someone else's kindness.

I want flowers to mean something special between him and me, least that is what they mean to me... and when you first meet someone, well... Now, if he were to bring something specifically curtailed to my unique personality, like a can of wet cat food, then, that would be a good beginning to a date. Start it off with a good laugh! Sorry folks, no first date flowers for me. It does hint (imho) of desperation.
