Girls, if you are on a first date with a guy and he brings you flowers, how much does that mean to you? would you love that or not really care?

If I had already gotten to partially know him for a few weeks or months beforehand: It would be really cute and nice gesture (though I dont personally care for flowers and maybe they would know that by then)

On the other hand, if we just recently met online or it was a blind date: I would feel like he's starting off too strong and trying to earn my approval with objects instead of himself

But I also have a sort of give what you get and vice versa mentality. So if there no previous connection or personal bond it feels wrong to be given something just because I'm a woman. Whether he intended it or not it makes me feel obligated to somehow "pay him back" which is a fucked up thing to throw on someone you just met. It also devalues the action because if you did it for me and you don't even know me, then you must do this for all of your dates so what makes me different, special, or worthy of the money you spent on those flowers?

It depends how well I know Hun and what sort of person he is. If he’s normal it’d be a nice gesture, but if he’s trying to hard and wants too much before we even really know each other then that would be off-putting. If we knew each other well then that would be lovely and mean more.

I don't care for flowers, but one thing this guy did made me totally smitten. He was my boyfriend at the time, came to my new apartment and gave me a little succulent 🥺
I really love succulents lol

To be honest, they would be even more meaningful on a second date. That'd mean that he really liked me on the first date >:3

That would be so sweet!! It’s never happened to me but it would show that he cares and wanted to do something nice :)

Flowers are too much on a first date, especially if we don’t each other very well, and I’m not into flowers as gifts so that would not make me happy.

I'd prefer if they didn't. I don't care for flowers and it would be a waste. They'd eventually end up in the garbage. I don't think people should bring gifts on the first date.

As much as I love flowers and receiving them, I would find that a little offputting to be honest.

I love flowers so that would be a cool thing for him to do for me ! thanks

[purplepoppy]

Please don't, it's a tired cliche and we don't want the hassle of carting them around

[daddycara3]

that would be great and really cute it means a lot to a girl and gives a great first impression!

[Hazelstar]

I never received one but that's a nice gesture. I wouldn't mind that.

I'd be thrown a bit if its a first date. Third one maybe. Also, I don't really like flowers, but that's just me
