jijendiran: Hi all, I found a girl on CS last month and we have been chatting on FB almost everyday for at-least 30 mins a day. She seems like a nice girl , v both are atheists, love animals n share many similar interests n finally we are meeting dis Saturday at a restaurant fa d first time. So my question is should I give her flowers on our first date ? I asked my friends some say I should buy n some say buying any gifts on d first date will make her think that I am so desperate . So what do you think is a good idea ?


Does she like flowers? which ones?

How would she feel?

Have you talked about this sort of thing with her?

What she thinks is romantic, and what things are empty gestures?


You asking us, makes me think no.

She likes flowers who doesn't ? grin .I just don't know whether she will like it on a first date. Maybe, I should ask her whether she needs any flowers on our first date rolling on the floor laughing

My advice is "no". In fact, your first date should probably be rather low-key. Just my advice--(but I'm right...)

KNenagh: Hi jijendiran, I personally like flowers, just on a practical note - if you want to head out after the meal, carrying around flowers might not be practical.

My suggestion would be, if she invites you to her house some day, get her a bunch of flowers then.

If she likes them - you don't need an occasion to buy flowers btw.


Good advice KN....agree. thumbs up wave

hmmmmm.... i don't like flowers, and i'm not that fond of sweeping generalizations that categorize all women as liking the same things either...laugh

asking her if she needs likes flowers sounds like a good idea.

I think you would like to.. and it's a sweet idea that should be followed, but perhaps one rose would be enough of a gesture without seeming "desperate" or any other complication.

its a noble gesture my friend,it could be perceived very well by the lady in question,but on the other hand it might not...my advice would be no dont take flowers,just turn up for the date and make a good impression on said lady,,flowers might be a better idea on a second date....imo....good luck with the date...

Firstly I hope your date goes well and you both "connect" smitten

I once got flowers on a first date from a lovely gentleman from CS actually grin I thought it was very sweet and thoughtful and romantic....and old world gesture really!
But I love flowers so they made me happy.
They were not practical for carrying around all day though.
So I think you should just go and enjoy the date and wait until the second date for flowers.
You may not get on face to face as you do on facebook...that happens so expect nothing and anything else is a bonus!
Best of luck to you both bouquet

A single rose or small bouquet would be nice, but a dozen roses might be coming on a little strong on a first date...


If she sees you're still on CS, your first date might be your last...professor

I'm sure they do. I think Ro is special because he is, not because he's gay wink

Rather then a bouquet of flowers maybe a little plants would be a better thing to give her if he feels he needs to bring anything.

If the date is successful she'll have the plant to look at everyday

If the date is a disaster she can give it to a homeless shelter or nursing home for the elderly to brighten up the place

When I started talking to my significant other online, he sent me a beautiful bouquet of flowers in CS email. At that time we were just CS friends. His dog had just died and he was feeling down about it so I chose to comfort him. He had no way of knowing if I liked flowers. It was just a nice thing that he did for me. Fortunately, I loved his virtual flowers and I have to say that his kindness made a big impression on me.
