Listen bud i got me some kick ass bootay after that so who is the muppet now huh????




Take her a copy of Purple Rain if ya want

If you are going to do flowers, I suggest sending them, to arrive earlier in the day. That will save her the trouble of having to hunt for a vase and trim stems as she's trying to get dinner on the table.

Or...you could skip the flowers and tell her that you'd like to bring the wine. Ask her if she could give you a general idea of what you're having (she might want to keep the specific menu a surprise, but a general hint would narrow it to red or white). Go to a good wine shop and get a recommendation.

Hi!!!

Take her one of these

mdiver said:

Oooooh.....pretty colors!!!

ThreadBare said:

See???

A nice, innocuous thread about flowers for a lady I'm diggin' and now, this!



rackin'-frackin' mod rules....

ThreadBare said:

I try and help and this is the thanks i get

Flowers would be very nice.

Good call to stay away from the long stem red roses. They mean "I love you"

Might be a bit much for a second date.

A nice small bouquet would be quite appropriate though.

Just depends on what she likes. Anybody can give me flowers at any time and I will appreciate them, so there's that.

Only you know how the first date went, so as far as the extravagance factor, it depends on that. If you were going out on a second date with me, a single pale peach rose would be perfection.


Somebody take me out on a second date.

Awww some of us appreciate the small things and the thoughtfulness of others.

You are right, it will depend on how the first date went and what she was like.

HereToRockYourWorld said:

Me too!!

Flowers certainly! Mixed are nice at this stage... lovely stargazers are... I adore them... so fragrant ... If roses, the peach colored ones are fabulous too.

ooh!
Just stay away from carnations.



Trust me.

how come we didn't talk about this yesterday?
can i still give my two cents?

if you are going to her house definately!
but a nice small mixed bouquet would suffice.
if meeting her or picking her up then if you
still want to, just do the single rose thingy
she can take it along and not have to worry
about putting a bouquet in water before you
set off for the evening.

Because you and I were humorously mired in humidity, politics and the Canadian pronunciation of "-out".

It was a nice, laid-back, fun first date. The single flower is winning by a landslide. I'm thinking she might dig an iris, lily or non-red rose. Or maybe... an orchid.

CarrieMpls said:

Yeah, to be on the safe side. If a girl is going to judge you on the cost of the flowers you bring, gross, but. . .it's a thing.

(Though if it were me, well, I love carnations too. )

ThreadBare said:

Random tip: lilies are highly toxic to cats. If she has one, no lilies.

CarrieMpls said:

What's the deal with carnations?

besides, having just wiki'd them, being not-to-attractive?

Nope, she's dog person, too.

ThreadBare said:

they just aren't that special
so they are filler flowers in a bouquet
and are maybe more kind of a grandma thing

but they take up dye very well so if it's
st. patty's day and you need green flowers,
carnations are the way to go

Wow, just skip right over my post.

if she's the kind of woman who goes for romantic things like that, then definitely. just don't get red roses.

I think most importantly, you need to do what is natural to you and not what you think she would want. Authenticity in a person is more important then getting it just right. It was said to once me and I get it these years later, just be yourself... absolutely be exactly who you are all the time. It is the best way to assure you get in where you fit in.

Nothinbutjoy said:

Thanks! didn't mean to skip this post. I actually nodded in agreement, as I read it earlier.

Unless, I could give roses and stare intensely into her eyes at the restaurant, going:

"From the first moment saw u, knew u were the 1..."

Nothinbutjoy said:

i totally should have just said "ditto what joy said!"

evenstar said:

Thanks, sis. I like how you keep confirming just how much a sap Ben is in reality.

It's really hard to keep track of which posts you've read or not with all these PFU avatars.

Yeah, and the many raves I saw here over the PFUnk release quickly undermined the whole point of solidarity garnered through the collective avatar...

The Jesus cloud will be back soon, methinks.
