If you bring flowers, get something othre than roses. Perhaps some mixed wildflowers that look colorful and casual.

I bought a dozen roses for a girl on my first date with her, and she loved it. I did not debate what each particular number of roses said about the status of our relationship.

LOL, so what color were they?


:p

Red. :p

Very interesting!

So did you get a second date at least?

Show her a good time with lots of good conversation and you won't need flowers to prop you up.

 

Show up late with no flowers and tickets to a baseball game. Show her that you care, but you dont care that much. Works all the time.

Well, now you're going to need garbage bags, a hacksaw, and a rain coat.

Was supposed to pick her up at 6 EST, she canceled at 4:45 EST.

Asked for a rain check and for me to not be mad.

QFT. No flowers; you give her the upper hand right away.

As with most things, there is more to the story than just this one event that leads me to this choice.

Though I'm just venting also, I may give it another shot.
