I made the mistake of "over-doing it" with a small bouquet. It's a long story, and she was not conducting herself appropriately (accepted a date with me knowing I was interested, while actively dating and sleeping with another man. Bad karma...) Best to take it light and easy on a first date, there might be some rare exception.
If you do need to give me something on the first date - and yeah, I like to be spoiled - why don't you give me the Corvette ZR1? ;) Saw a program about it yesterday and felt in love :)))
But no. Roses on the first date?… not necessary. I am not that romantic type although I love to receive flowers. With and without reasons. Still, the first date - could be too much. And I prefer tulips. One beautiful. Or better a bunch of beautiful tulips :). But that once I date you another time. If you would want to give me sth on the first date - make it light or funny. Mini chocolate bonbons to eat them together would be better.

I would appreciate the fact that my date wanted to give me a token of his appreciation but I think a rose might be too much too soon. A small box of chocolates, or even a small bouquet of flowers other than roses would be a lovely gesture, though. A single rose, or roses, is something you give when romance is definitely in the air and not on the first date when you barely know each other.

2intrigued: It's a nice gesture but not necessary.
Oh !, but on the contrary. I would dig-up the whole flower garden, stuff it in the wheel barrel and deliver it to you at our table with a trail of potting soil behind me in the beautiful five star restaurant where we'll dine.
