OK, so here's the deal: Between my schedule and a certain young lady's schedule, we've not been able to hang since our first date a few weeks ago. She's asked me to dinner this week, and I'm thinking about bringing flowers.

But I don't know how women read flowers on a second date. Do you think it's a bit much, too much too soon? Or do you think they're always a good gesture? I was going to shoot for something beyond the basic red, longstem variety. Some thought's going into this: some irises or stargazer lilies, etc. Or some variegated roses, if I can get my hand on 'em...

Talk to me, Org ladies. What do you think?

Org burped

If the dinner is at her place you could bring Flowers as she is making a statement by inviting u in2 her home. But I'd save it for the 3rd or 4th date.

If the dinner is at a resturant its way too soon

If you feel like giving flowers, give flowers. I adore getting flowers.

Flowers are ALWAYS a good thing! Roses are a wonderful flower to give, but I would stay away from red ones at first...stick with other colors at first. Pink, white, or even yellow. Yellow is supposed to represent friendship.

Yeah, I'm feeling the non-red roses, too. But not yellow. .

But, it still might be too soon.

CarrieMpls said:

Yeah, that's my thought, too.

ThreadBare said:

Well then maybe pink..or apricot! I love apricot roses!

sometimes a single flower - elegant, simple

I would go non rose - different

that's me though - I think you should listen to your intuition

If you know what she is preparing for dinner, perhaps bring a bouquet of flowers associated with the particular cuisine being served: Italian - sunflowers or sweet pea; French - lavender or violets; Mexican - plumeria; etc.

The thought and sentiment behind such a gesture is obvious, but without being too...intense...too soon.

If that's what you wanna do, I say go for it. Anything that's genuine is nice...and if it's genuine, she'll know and appreciate it I'm sure.

But I personally think flowers are terribly cliched and unoriginal.

Gosh, I wish politicians were as straight-talkin' as you. Would make life a lot simpler.

ThreadBare said:

I'm sorry. I really don't mean to be rude.

Well I don't exactly know what flower goes with what food like Mr.Willy Wonka but my sister once met a guy that took her out on the first date and everytime they stopped he bought her a bouquet of flowers!

She didn't even like him that much but she thought it was very sweet and a smooth move, so did I!

I'm not telling u to do that though, i'm just saying I think flowers are always beautiful at any given time!

All flowers say to me is


You totally didn't put an ounce of thought into this did you?

Thanks for the gesture though.

That depends, if he searched all over town after you mentioned just once about your favourite orchid and blew a wad of cash on getting it for you ..just because....then sure he put a lot of time and thought in to it beyotch

mdiver said:

Yeah.

That only screams

I'M OVER COMPENSATING!!! OVER. COMPENSATING.

TotalANXiousNESS said:

No wonder i dont like you

TotalANXiousNESS said:

I was thinking about an orchid, too!

ThreadBare said:

Its ok, get the orchid, then show her your dick and its all good, she will know it was a nice thought and you are not compensating

How to redeem this thread?

CarrieMpls said:

Ditto. Every girl loves flowers. It doesn't matter if it's the first date, second date or tenth date. It's a sweet gesture and we love it.

Mach said:

No chance.....i am in one of those moods

CarrieLee said:

The Carries have it! The lady will get flowers tomorrow.

Lock this thread on up, Mach!

Before Mdiver gets even more rambunctious.
