I think it's sweet, and it keeps you on her mind with a smile when she sees the flowers in her home for the rest of the week. If you have the idea to do it, then do. Even a $5 bouquet from Safeway adds a splash of color. If she's allergic, perhaps she can keep them out on her patio.

Flowers aren't a good idea for a first date..better to find out if she's allergic, what her favorites are, and it's better to be far enough along in your dating that you can deliver the flowers to her door so she can put them in water before you leave on the date.

The ball game is a great summer idea..except that in my case, I love any kind of informal ball game; community, church potluck game, local women's league, even Little League, etc. since the professionals spend so much time grabbing their crotches and spitting tobacco juice it makes me feel nauseous.

I have gotten a good response from a single rose on the first date. Classy but not overdone. Really though it depends on the person, use your best judgment.

It really depends on what kind of people you two are and where you are going on the date.

• If you like bringing flowers on the first date; if that's your thing, then go ahead. But be considerate of your date and the place of the date.
• Your date might not like the flowers (could be allergic or have a specific flower he/she likes); do research before buying your date flowers.
• Don't bring flowers to a date where you or your date can't set the flowers aside; you don't want someone holding a bouquet of flowers the entire time, do you?

I don’t by flowers for anyone anymore, twice in my life I had woman break up with me the day I a got them flowers... I’ll by you dinner, I’ll cook, pay for drinks, hell, I even braught a girl a ukulele, if we are together what’s mine is yours but if you want flowers you will have to buy them yourself.

Something more discrete on a first date. A fine chocolate, or ONE small flower that she/he can put in a purse/bag. But I would go better with a fine chocolate, or even some small food that you know is not common for people to buy.
Let the flowers for when you already have something ion going.

Not if she is a hay fever sufferer

Simply depends on the couple's likes or dislikes.

What a nice thought. It’s never happened to me and I have no idea what to do with them. Oh, yeah, I think I have a vase somewhere. Thank you. And me being me I would immediately try to think of a way to repay that thoughtfulness.

No. There are ton of things you can do so she knows you're interested/prepared, but giving her something that she'll have to carry around for the duration is not going to resonate with most women. Instead look your best, show up on time, have some ideas on things to discuss and additional things to do if it's going well, maybe a walk or an event nearby.

I mean I think, I'm single what the fuck do I know.

In my mind, I would love getting flowers on a first date, after the date had happened, and only if in picking the flowers they showed that they paid attention to my story about my favorite flower - the Zinnia. I'm picky, but I've also never had a woman try to buy me flowers, so your mileage may vary.

I've never done it on a first date. I wait until I get to know the woman a bit more. Even then I don't like doing it where either of us will have to carry it throughout the date. I also had an ex who didn't want me to buy her flowers because her ex only bought her flowers when he did something wrong and was "apologizing".

I've never done that sort of thing on a first date.
Meeting for coffee, or at a bar having a drink or two.
Both of them are more social.
It's important to me to get to know the person I'm with a bit before I'll have a second date.
I live on the beach, so my second date or so would be to have a walk one the beach, and watch the sunset.
Then maybe dinner.

Not important for me on a first date; maybe down the line if we'd gotten to know each other more and were seeing each other more regularly. I'm way more impressed by how someone treats me and how we both interact, anyway. Another concern with receiving flowers is if we met in a public place and I had to drag them around with me. Kind of awkward balancing them on your lap in a theater or at a ballgame.

If you look like this you should be ok...

It’s a very sweet gesture but at the same time it would be hard for me too to carry them around the entire time. Instead you can send them to her workplace with a hand-written note (seriously, skip the ready written fake notes) and it’ll mean a lot.

Guys have no idea how small but thoughtful things mean a lot to us.

Yes!

Great question! I think it depends on the person you're going out with. On the hand, I know a lot of girls who just don't like flowers, so you would spend your in vain. On the other hand, I have female friends who absolutely adore flowers, and bringing a bouquet would significantly improve your chances of impressing them. Therefore, you should do your research before going out on a date. If you decide to buy flowers, make sure you purchase a worthy bouquet. My girlfriend is obsessed with roses, and I prefer to order them from the Mississauga flower delivery service. They never disappoint! Cheers.
