Girls, if a guy shows up with flowers on a first date, are you flattered or freaked out? (Page 2)

Question

At one time, when I had a first date with a woman, I would bring her a single white rose and explain that white roses are a symbol of new beginnings. Of course, most first dates don't result in a LTR but. . . I always had the impression that ladies appreciated the token of respect and hope. After all, it was a single rose - white - not a dozen red roses. A dozen red roses. . . my impression is that would set off warning lights and sirens with most women. How would you feel about a guy bringing you a single white rose on a first date? How do you feel about a guy bring you a flower arrangement or a dozen red roses on a first date?

I would be flattered to see that a guy is willing to make a strong effort to impress me and cares more about my feelings than the money in his wallet. I find that to be very romantic. Nowadays, guys are too cheap and always try to push for coffee dates, drinks, or "walks"; never even thinking about buying flowers and more concerned about making dates as cheap as possible. That turns me off. I like old school romantic men who go above and beyond. It shows chivalry and generosity.

Flattered! Why would I be freaked out!!! Shows he has put time and effort into thinking about you and preparing for the date. It's cute

I think it’s very sweet of him, and I would appreciate it.  However, I don’t like flowers. But the gesture will be very appreciated by me.

Not necessary, but I’d be flattered. Though I must admit, they’d probably die within the first 2-3 days afterwards.

Unlike most people, I don't really like flowers in general. Not really sure why.

If he brought me a simple, inexpensive arrangement of flowers - or a single white rose - I would be flattered. If he brings me a dozen roses, that is way too much too soon!

pleasestopthis · Answer

A single flower is okay. A whole bouquet of roses is too much and that would make me feel slightly uncomfortable... unless we're already in love and we're going serious.
