    Now ok maybe a dozen was too much, but give the guy some credit. I have NEVER had a man buy me flowers!! I would be honored that he even thought of that. I would take the flowers over say a 12 pack and a box of condoms, especially on a second date. He was being sweet and thoughtful, shouldnt be deducted points for that!
    Whoa.. do you know how much a good 12 pack and a box of condoms cost?

    J/K :happy:

    3 for just a night??? are you kidding me?!?!?!? maybe a 6 pack for a night, a dozen or more for a weekend!! lol

    Define 'box' of condoms..a 3 pack for a great night or a dozen for a nice long weekend? :drinker:

    *SMH*:laugh:

    I was out with friends one night... and this HORRIBLE, AWFUL man brought me a single rose - just because. Then there was this other time that a man heard me sing and wanted to buy me a drink. The nerve! I mean, clearly - it had nothing to do with anything other than they must have wanted me in a BIG way.

    :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Seriously???

    I'll take some flowers!

    Dudes... if any of you would like to take care of an urge to send flowers - let me know. My husband may wonder what the heck is going on... :ohwell: But that could be a good night too! (Making up can be so much fun. :smokin: )

    I'm going to call that guy lucky because he just got saved from a train wreck.
    He may not think so right now but imagine the future issues if she thought that about the roses.

    I think he was raised with manners...lots of women SAY they want a nice guy, then when they meet one they find something wrong with him when he does something nice...just saying

    I agree, and this is how you know when a woman has a major self-esteem deficiency, which most women do these days. A woman who gets mad at you for treating her well clearly doesn't think very much of herself, and if you're going to hang around for that, well, be prepared for an emotional roller coaster.

    I don't understand why women no longer think they are special. When did it become a bad thing for a man to pick you up at your place (with flowers even!), take you out for a nice evening (and by "nice," I don't mean "expensive;" I mean "pleasant"), and escort you home at the end of the night? Now, if you suggest picking a woman up rather than having her meet you somewhere or if you bring her flowers or if you insist on paying for her meal, you're "creepy" or "moving too fast."

    I had a blind date last week with a friend of a friend. He called me the day before we went out to ask where I wanted to meet. I told him I meet friends at restaurants; I don't meet gentlemen I'm dating anywhere. That was all I had to say. He acted like a man, came to my door, and treated me like a queen the entire night. I told him he made me feel special, and he said "That's the highest compliment you could've paid me." We already have plans to see each other again tomorrow night and again after Christmas. It is not that complicated, y'all.

    Meeting a man you're dating at the restaurant keeps them from knowing where you live. I don't want someone I don't know well in or near my home, because you just don't know about people. Plus, you can end the date when you want and not have to be driven home.

    I have to admire how well and succinctly you made the point I was trying to earlier, but took two paragraphs to even attempt! :flowerforyou:

    Many of the posts don't seem to realize that most men have no idea what goes on in a woman's head. Poor guy tried doing something nice and was turned away for it. He could have brought much worse things. That said ya it was a bit over the top, but isn't it part of a newly dating couple to help guide the other to what is acceptable to them? Just saying, for it to last that is going to be a necessity sooner or later. If the person doesn't get it after a nudge or so... well they kind of had it coming for not reading the persons responses.

    I think the flowers were a nice idea. I'm not sure that I would disregard someone over flowers but hey, if it's meant to be than it will be - this apparently was not.

    ^^ I agree with this post.^^ If she liked him and didn't have any allergies to scents or flowers she would have been head over heels about what a great and considerate guy he is. She must not have felt that way from the two date encounter.

    I guess I can only say what my reaction would be, but that kind of thing would cause me to pull away, fast. It would indicate the guy has too much invested already, make me nervous about allowing him to continue letting those feelings get stronger and risk anything messy or where I'd feel really bad later on...

    I thought that was a bit harsh, poor guy trying to do something nice.

    After the first date with my husband (we'd been speaking on the phone for a while), he sent a bunch of gerberas to work. He got major brownie points because gerberas are bright and cheerful and not too serious. Also, flowers sent to someone's work adds points because everyone wants to know who got them and who they are from.

    He had a sliding scale of flower giving (which he kept up regularly for years), gerberas mean you like someone, yellow roses means it is getting serious, red roses means love.

    He came upon that on his own, bless him, but then the language of romance is different for everyone.
