What is the definition of "first date"? If we are meeting for coffee for the first "date" and he did that, I confess I'd think it was a little much. I mean, I would appreciate the flowers, but my mind would immediately think "watch out for love-bombing" and I'd be put on my guard. He doesn't even know for sure if he'll like me on a first date. I guess it's like someone walking up to me on the street and handing me $100. I'd be like, "Why did you do that and what do you want?"

However, if we've been talking/texting for a while and have decided to be exclusive, and then go on our first dinner date, I would think it was thoughtful and sweet. And beyond that, I'd love it!

depends on the girl. personally for me, if it's a random dude that i agreed to go on a first date with, i'd be a bit weirded out. I'd think it's a bit out of place and way too early to get flowers or anything like that. to me flowers are for when you're together and have feelings for each other. like if it's not a random dude but my boyfriend that is coming to take me on our first date of our relationship, i'd like it. it's cute.

I would say it’s only weird if you make it weird


Meaning if you give her the flowers by creating a frame that she’s a soft delicate creature who’s only good for watering a vase then she’ll be offended


But if you make sure it comes across as a gesture from the heart, she will be flattered and appreciative of the effort

[NathanDavis]

same as they would feel in 2023...

[coachTanthony]

lol.

[OlderAndWiser]

When i was dating, i often took a woman a single yellow rose in a vase for our first date.

[AviatorTom]

She should enjoy it, but I think most women would wonder about it, and think it's a little weird.

[emeraldsaphire]

Context is important. If we were texting about flowers all night and he brought me my favorite flowers I'd think he was sweet. If he just randomly brought me flowers I'd think he was nervous and trying to hard.

[SquishyBuns2628]

I told my boyfriend I really don't like flowers they're a waste once they die but in actuality I would have loved at least one bouquet. Doesn't even have to be flowers. A bouquet of fake flowers like Legos, or donuts or anime merch...

[purplepoppy]

The problem with flowers is you've got to cart them around all night. Leave for another time and send via courier so the neighbours can see

[worldscolide]

I brought my wife a potted plant, specifically and orchid. She took it inside, and we left. She still has the orchid, it's still healthy.

[paledreams]

Hahaha poppy

[Kayleigh2005]

I don't know single flower I would love it, maybe 🤔

[Nikki1989]

I think most would question his motives.

[IslaTheWitch]

normal, I think... except for the situation where she is allergic...

[MoonFace2]

I loved it when a guy did it for me. Women like to feel feminine balanced with inspiring feelings of respect.

[dustybiker2]

Depends on if he owns it. Genuine confidence is sexy has all out.

[SolitarySolace]

They'd most likely be bored with the idea of recieving flowers. Yet another thing for feminists to cry about

[Peridot25]

She would more than likely reject him
Seriously, fellas. Stay away from women. Relationships/dating is unnecessary

[Hannajenky]

A whole bouquet is probably too much but a single flower is probably fine for a first date kind of sweet

[Jackblue]

I have read that women find gifts of any kind on the first date too forward, but perhaps flowers are ok from what the graph shows.

[thegreenyogi]

I'd actually really like that.

[BobbieBoy666]

What does it mean when a guy gives you flowers on the first date?
It's a way to get to know the woman more. People give flowers on the first date as a nice gesture and to be romantic.

[luckycynic]

I did Lego flowers for a first date once and we built them together. I didn’t want to buy her something that would be thrown away in a week. She seemed to really like it.

[Anonymous]

If he starts it off that’s at then he needs to maintain the gifts. And I’m not saying by grooming her to like him when he’s garbage.
General rule is if he’s overly nice, something’s off.

[stephanie-ramos]

Please do! I’d kiss him right there tbh.

[WhitneySnow]

I would love that. I love flowers and I’m not that cynical. But maybe I just live a sheltered life.

[sage2021]

It would be wonderful 😊💯

[sage2021]

If you take her flowers be sure to have a vase to put them in.
Never just hand a woman flowers that aren't in a vase with water in it!

[JesseP1nk]

Guys... dont do it! It seems so forced. You dont even know if she even likes the flowers. And she needs to drag those flowers along entire date.

[Anonymous]

What would they feel or what would the pretend to feel?😆

I'm sure they'd make sure they had thier pepper spray before leaving the house that night.

[Anonymous]

My then boyfriend (now fiance) showed up with flowers on our first date, and I loved it.

[LiamJHayden]

I think most in my age group would wonder what he expects in return.

[Bricealan]

@coachTanthony They would be flattered.

[DancingQueen16]

I'd be happy because I love flowers

[danielle872024]

I would love it but not expecting it. 💐

[paledreams]

They'd feel horrified 😆😂

[worldscolide]

Just here for the comments, I'm curious

[worldscolide]

by the way knowing my wife does not like cut flowers, because they are dying, I brought her a potted plant, and orchid specifically, which is still alive today, 12 years later.

[Anonymous]

Like she'd just taken the entire drug dealer's supply of cocaine.

[Anonymous]

That would be very nice.

[KittygosMeoWW]

I’d appreciate it and be thankful

[Emmytexrex]

I think she will think it is a little too much

[Anonymous]

Online or Online, Flattered.

[Dongie]

Weird. Unless she's over 28.

[beefcakebradybatson]

She may beat you up !!!

[12karen]

I would be so happy
