Should he bring flowers on the first date?

I think it's sweet but not a deal-breaker if he shows up without them. I had one guy ask me what my favorite color was and I told him "green"....lol...he brought flowers but told me he had planned to bring me flowers in my favorite color...oops... :lol: he brought some kind of mixed spring-type bouquet. Very sweet...and he was a good kisser, too. :yep:
 
It's not a dealbreaker but a guy does lose points with me if he doesn't bring flowers on a first date.

So yes, I like them and it's in his best interest to bring them.:yep:

I don't really like flowers so not really a deal breaker. You'd get more points bringing me a edible arrangements bouqet :)
 
Flowers aren't necessary but they are a nice added touched. A dealbreaker would be showing up late, not showing at all, kissing me, etc. on the first date.
 
A guy in this day and age? I'd be shocked out of my mind. :lachen:

Then I'd think that he must be really close with his mother, and that she raised him to be a gentlemen. :yep: I ain't gone lie-- I'd be impressed. This isn't the typical Joe Blow of our generation.

If he showed up flowerless, I wouldn't be surprised. Wouldn't count it against him either, I'd just think I was dealing with your typical Joe Blow.
 
I didnt know guys still did this either.

You cant get a dude to open your car door for you nowadays so bringing flowers is just a whole nother realm IMO.

I'd be shocked as all hell if a dude showed up at my door with flowers.

I can count how many times I've actually even recieved flowers, and one of those times I had to ASK him for a bouquet.
 
It'd be sweet, but not expected. I've received candy on the first date but never flowers.
 
Wow, really ladies? I have only been on one first date where the man didn't bring me flowers.

Like I said, they are not a dealbreaker but I enjoy them. Opening doors and pulling out chairs though? Straight up dealbreakers. Not doing those will not get you a second date and it might make the first one end abruptly.

Me too. I'd probably pass out if a guy brought flowers to the first date...it'd be a nice touch, but a total shocker!

You must really have it going on:yep:. I wish I heard more stories like this.
 
Like sisterslick said I think flowers show a distinction between the typical guy and the guy that would go the extra mile to put a smile on your face.

My SO brought me flowers on our "first date". It was such a beautiful suprise to answer the knocking on my door, only to answer and hear him say "these are for you" pulling the flowers from behind him. Met my father (he met my mother from before) then. I could not stop blushing about the flowers and his attempt to hide how nervous he was. I went downstairs to put the flowers in some water and my father came smiling and I asked him what's up, he replied "you look happy":yep:.

We had a wonderful evening.


He checked the weather report, the moon, he even went to the restaurant a few days before to make sure it was good enough to take me. He walked with insect repelant just incase the mosquitoes and sandflies started to act up. <----All of that he told me afterwards.
He's special and chivalry does exist.

Here's a pic of the flowers and purple is my favourite colour.

It's not a dealbreaker, but I like receiving them :)

And I have cut a first date short when he wasn't opening my door/pulling out my chair :blush:

I've gone on a first date where the guy bought one single red rose in baby's breath and the date was horrible (he was horrible!) .... Then I've been on a first date where no flowers were presented but we had a wonderful time (and he opened all doors and was a perfect gentleman)... So it's not a dealbreaker.

On the first date would be a nice gesture. However, most guys are still getting to know you and may not even know if you even care for flowers, aren't allergic to flowers, what type/color you prefer, or if they even like you enough to get you flowers. So I wouldn't count a guy out if he didn't show up with them on the first date.

I think so too.... It's def. not a deal breaker for me. If I went out on a date with a dude and he showed up with a bouquet of flowers I'd be shocked and a bit confused. I look for things like opening up the door for me, making sure I walk on the inside of him, other gestures that shows he's a man values his date with me, but buying flowers... nah... def. not a deal breaker.
 
I love to get flowers so it'd be cool if he brought flowers on the first date. It's not cory at all to me, I think it's romantic and sweet. But it's not an automatic dealbreaker if he doesn't bring them.
 
If he is picking me up at my place, then it's great, because before we leave, I can put the flowers in a vase with water so they don't die. If I am meeting him at a restaurant, or at an event or some other place, then it's awkward because for the rest of the date, I have to carry around flowers like a beauty queen. :look:

Yea I agree...
 
Not a deal breaker. I like roses but frankly I have allergies so if he didn't bring them it wouldn't be the end of the world.
