Should I bring flowers on a first date / meeting of a girl I met online on Eharmony.?

This is a question for all the women out there.



Should I bring a single flower on this first date / meeting ?? This girl is a year older then me she is 26 im 25 she just got out of a very very bad abusive both mentally and physically relationship. I am more lines of the old fashion type and my only girlfriend I have ever had loved flowers so I am wondering. We are meeting next weekend in a casino and will be spending a few hours together before both of us have to go to work. We have been calling each other literally everyday for the last 4 months and emails back and forth and such. If it helps she is latino and im just a normal white guy. I dont want to come off as cheesy I want to make the best first impression I can. So any tips and advice would be greatly appreciated!



PS. I am an Army war vet out of the service in college with a stable job at the other casino in town. I live in the college dorms its not the best but at least I am out on my own.

No matter what she may say, every woman loves to receive flowers. They may say stuff like ‘Oh why did you bother’ or ‘You shouldn’t have’, but they don’t really mean it. It is always a very special feeling to be the on the receiving end of this delightful visual treat, be it a single bloom or an elaborate floral arrangement.







TIP: Choose from a list of florists shortlisted by us based on next day or same day delivery options and USA/International delivery.



There are many opportunities for presenting a woman with flowers. Whether you surprise her with a bouquet when she least expects it, or present her with it a predictable occasion like her birthday. And whether it is expected or unexpected, it still remains an undeniable pleasure. Every flower has a special meaning attached to it. Keeping that in mind, here are some suggestions on when to present your date with flowers and the options you have. And be sure to enlighten her about what it means, especially if you’ve chosen a more unusual one. Some flowers have exotic meanings, but aren’t as visually appealing as their simpler counterparts. Keep this in mind too!





The occasion - your first date





Right at the start of a potential relationship, the first date is just the first of many new beginnings. And a guy always wonders whether or not he should take flowers. Will it seem too soon, what kind of a reaction will he get, what kind of flowers should he take? And sometimes he decides to just forego it altogether, because it might seem too awkward. Often though, a woman loves to receive flowers on a first date.



And if you’re picking her up at the door, there’s nothing as sweet as a guy standing on your doorstep with flowers behind his back and a sweet little-boy bashfulness on his face, wondering when he should whip them out. It makes a woman feel girlish again, as if she’s going out to her first prom. As you’re unsure about the woman herself on the first date, what her taste in flowers is and even whether you’re going to like her, it’s safest to go in for a single bloom, possibly a red rosebud if you want to be blatantly romantic, or an elegantly simple sheaf of flowers. This way, you won’t be spending too much on a date you’re still unsure about, and yet in the event it does not work out, she’s left with a wonderful feeling of a sensitive guy who took the trouble to bring her flowers.





The message on the card – A simple ‘In anticipation’ should do the trick. You don’t want to get too effusive; it is your first date





The flower





Rose (white) - Innocence, pureness



Rose (white with ivy) - Innocent intentions, promise of allegiance



Rosebud - New and full of life, pure heart



Rosebud (white) - A heart new to love



Violet (white) - Let's take a risk



Forsythia - Excitement, anticipation



Hawthorn - Anticipation





The occasion – After the first date





In case you didn’t take her flowers on the first date as you were pretty sceptical about the outcome, and then regretted it because you had a fabulous time, it’s not too late! All is not lost yet. You could still send her flowers the next day at her home. Don’t go over the top just yet with your flower displays. Keep it simple. Save some of the really elaborate stuff for later. If you overdo it you also run the chance of her thinking you’ve already fallen hard for her. And even if you have, it’s generally better to play it cool for some time. You don’t want to seem too eager too soon.



The message on the card – ‘Thank you’ or ‘Had a wonderful evening’ should say it all.





The flower





Calla Lily - Utmost beauty



Dahlia - Elegance, good taste



Daisy - Innocent, beautiful



Lilac (purple) - First sensations of love



Lilac (white) - Dignity, innocence



Lily (calla) - Charming



Lily (white) - Purity, innocence, magnificence, I love being with you





The occasion – On or after special dates or Valentine’s Day





You might have been seeing her for some time and are planning a romantic evening together. There are plans to wine and dine her and paint the town red. You can make the evening perfect by not forgetting the flowers. By now you probably know her well enough to have the privileged information on her favorite flower. Or if she doesn’t have one, make sure it’s something that looks nice and maybe even a personal favorite with you. Spring it on her before the date or send it across to her at her workplace, where she will enjoy the envious attention of her colleagues and be able to coyly tell them that she thought her perfect evening had ended the previous night, but it seems like it's still going on. Valentine’s Day is another perfect occasion for flowers.





The message on the card – This is a time for mush – ‘You’re on my mind’ or ‘Thinking about you’ or ‘Can’t wait till I see you again’ or for Valentine’s Day, ‘Loving you makes my life complete’.





The flower





Camellia (pink) - Wanting to be with you



Carnation (general) - Given to a woman who you love, energy, warmth



Carnation (red) - My heart is yours



Carnation (pink) - Longing to be with you



Tulip (general) - Amazing lover





The occasion – On her birthday





Let her know how glad you are for this day by showing up with a bouquet that will blow her mind. Or take her breath away with a special delivery from the local florist. You could arrange to send it to either her home or office, wherever it’s guaranteed to have the maximum effect. Only make sure that wherever you send it, she will be available to receive it personally at the time. If you’re away on her birthday, sending her a bouquet of flowers is one of the sweetest ways to tell her you’re thinking of her, short of actually taking the next flight and being at her side.





The message on the card – ‘Happy Birthday sweetheart’ or ‘Have your happiest ever’





The flower





Orchid - Beauty, mature, charming



Pansy (all colors) - Love, cheerfulness, good thoughts



Poinsettia - Cheerful



Poppy (red) - Enjoyment, amplitude



Zinnia (magenta) - Affection, admiration





The occasion – On your anniversary





It might be a month since your first date, or 6 months or a year. You could give her the mistaken impression that you haven’t a clue that it’s the anniversary of your first date. And then sweep her off her feet with a dazzling display of the prettiest flowers. Another day that you could send her flowers which will completely knock her for a loop is your wedding day. Generally things are so hectic and stressed out on that day, and as you’re not going to see her till she walks down the aisle, it’s a good way to remind her of how happy you are feeling as the day gets off to a start.





The message on the card – ‘To us’ or ‘To memories’ or ‘To our eternal love’





The flower





Forget-me-not - Love never forgotten, memories



Jasmine - Eroticism, beauty, full of joy, finesse



Lily of the Valley - You make my life complete



Daffodil - Love without questions, loyalty



Dandelion - Loyalty, devotion



Violet (blue) - I will always be loyal



Myrtle - Adoration, celebration, symbol of marriage



Peony - Happiness in life, happiness in marriage



Orange Blossom - Purity, endless love, luck in marriage, knowledge



Periwinkle (white) - Good memories





The occasion – When she’s sick





Apart from chicken soup and lots of tender loving care, a bright spray of flowers might go a long way in making her feel better. Especially if she’s in hospital or going to be confined to her room for a few days due to an extended illness, the flowers will make her smile as they remind her of you and your thoughtfulness. And you never know, they may even hasten her recovery.





The message on the card –Avoid the clichéd 'Get well soon'. Go in for something different like 'I’m (love)sick too!' or 'To memories' or 'To our eternal love'.





The flower





Edelweiss - Brave, strong



Heather - Admiration, luck, protection



Holly - Affection, kisses, happiness



Sunflower - Happiness, the sun always shines on you



Wisteria - I want to stay with you





The occasion – For no reason at all





This is probably one of the most popular with women, when they are given flowers for no particular occasion and when they least expect it. Either in appreciation, or just because you feel a sense of overwhelming love and want to convey it to her. This one has the best effect if you make the delivery in person. You wouldn’t want the florist or the delivery boy to be on the receiving end of the sheer joy she feels and affection she may want to show at this spontaneous gesture would you?





The message on the card – ‘You’re the best’ or ‘Just because you’re you’ or those three little words most women love to hear when they come straight from the heart ‘I love you’ or even ‘Loving you’.





The flower





Primrose - I need you



Carnation (solid color) - Yes to any question you may want to answer with a flower



Baby's Breath - Continuous love



Aster - Charming, code of love



Tulip (red) - Trust in me, admittance of love



Zinnia (yellow) - Daily thoughts





The occasion – To congratulate her





At times that she’s overjoyed because of a major happening in her life, like a promotion, great results or a new job, share her joy and also let her know that you take pride in her achievements. Choose an appropriate flower that will convey this very special feeling to her.





The message on the card – ‘To my Superwoman’ or ‘I’m so proud of you’ or even tongue-in-cheek humor, ‘Behind every successful woman is a man’





The flower





Buttercup - Cheerful heart



Carnation (white) - Purity, love, luck to a woman

Reply:Since you talk everyday, mention flowers during your next conversation. Listen to her response. If it's unclear just ask her "do you like flowers"? You'll know what to do by her answer. Usually you can't go wrong with a woman and flowers, or any gift for that matter. Good Luck 2 you.
Reply:First of all, it's refreshing to know men still believe in bringing flowers on a date. I think you should just be yourself. Since it's the first time you are meeting, it's always a short and sweet get together to 'see' each other. Maybe once you set your first 'real' date when things are not rushes you can present her with flowers...

Best Wishes!
