Hi ladies, Been out of dating for a while, first date! should I bring flowers.?

Answer 1

that would be a great start. but you could just make it a single flower. i really dont think it should matter what flower it is, as long as its not wilted or dead. i think most women prefer roses. i think its the white rose that sends the statement friendship. and since youre just getting back into the dating scene, the white one would be perfect. or lilies. those are beautiful as well. take care have fun and good luck. hope everything goes well for you.

Answer 2

I'm not sure how old you are, and I know that makes a difference in matters like this. I'm in college and I would say hold off on the first date flowers. It's a very sweet thing to do (also a little old fashioned, which is why it's probably fine if you're older), but I think I would find it intimidating on a first date. First dates are supposed to be kind of low key, and all about getting to know each other. Bringing in that sort of formal gesture so early might make her feel bad for not bringing something for you, or awkward because she's not sure how to thank you or what you mean by bringing the flowers.

On the other hand, spontaneously bringing flowers once you have a relationship going is *definitely* going to get you on the good list, so you've got the right idea there ;)

Answer 3

You are going to have to decide firstly what you want to happen, after such a loving soul-mate relationship you had, anything is going to seem a bit of a struggle sometimes, but you do get up and leave for hours(7am to 6pm) although not unreachable, trying phoning to speak to your girls instead because I'm sure they would appreciate a nice light hearted call from their dad. You don't say how old your live-in gf is, if she is only young and hasn't had much life then maybe she feels that she is 'entitled' to time out, You have had a supporting partner whilst bringing up your other children, parenthood can be a bit of a shock to the system especially when you have had no-one else to think of but you. But then you say 'gf does well with the house'! Are you seeing her as your housekeeper and childminder, not your partner? Maybe you (as in both of you) have not created an equal partnership were you both have input (you say you have own house/car/work etc) so what did you plan your new future on? Your girls were 8, 9 and 16 when you married, did you not make any new plans together? No-matter what, you need to talk to each other, if she can't sit down with you and try to resolve the situation TOGETHER, then you will have to consider your options. I hope you can resolve this, try and remember what brought you together in the first place, whilst not being too traumatic for your children because they will sense an atmosphere.

Answer 4

That would be a little much. Maybe ONE flower would be nice. It would kinda freak me out if a guy brought a huge boquette of flowers on a first date. A nice carnation, maybe white, would be perfect. If a guy did something like that on the first, I would be sooo flattered and touched. Simple things like that just get to a girl so well (in a good way ;) ). Hope I helped!

Answer 5

You should bring flowers ONLY if you pick her up at her place because the flowers will get annoying and possibly damaged if she carries them around all over the place during the date.

Answer 6

I don't think so. Flowers could mean that you want her to like you in return (or more), and I think the best time to give flowers is when you don't want anything from her at all.

Try to win her over with your character and have a good sense of humor at all times.

Answer 7

I agree with a previous answer, bring one flower - a really pretty rose or lilly for a nighttime date, a big daisy for a daytime date.

Answer 8

Yes, you should bring flowers, and be a gentlemen on your first date.

Answer 9

Flowers are a little dated nowaday's

Answer 10

Flowers are always nice. Just keep it simple, until you know her likes. A simple rose is lovely. Good luck
