Randomly, I got 6 long stem roses in a box sent to my office. No card. The flower shop coud only tell me it was a man. My birthday was coming up - they could have been from anybody. I got home and the other box with the other 6 roses was there waiting with the card. That was a 10 pointer for being unexpected and creative.

There was also the very unexpected vase of white roses with one red one in the middle. One has to know the meaning of roses to uderstand white is for Pure and red is for Love = Pure Love.

There are several sites on the internet, some even better than these, but here are your meaning of flowers if you want to get creative.

Meaning of Roses by color
Rose color Meanings - Meaning of Rose Colors

Meaning of flowers
The Language of Flowers - What they mean

This is really cool. Who gave them? Husband ? Boyfriend?

asked a random group of drunk chicks passing by tonight and got

#1: date 1
#2: date 1,2,4 (not 3 cuz of the whole 3 dates = sex thing)
#3: date 1,2,3 (basically all the time)
#4: i think this chick was ready to fall over


so whats CDs opinion?

(this is assuming you dont know each other much yet)
I'm not a flowers kind of girl. I'd rather you just give me the money.

That would work for me. I don't like flowers. My first real memory of flowers is from when my grandmother died. First they were in the hospital, then the funeral, then our house. Flowers make me think of death.

I wouldn't throw them down and slam the door in his face if he gave them to me but it wouldn't mean as much as a personalized gift

I wouldn't want flowers on a first date. That seems rather highschoolish - trying to impress the parents - type of behavior. I'm happy if he shows up on time and isn't an idiot.

I do love flowers though. I got some delivered to my office for my birthday recently. It was a nice arrangement too, not those flowers stuffed in a box that you have to assemble.

I've gotten flowers sent to my office before and I thought it was a nice gesture considering how having a woman sending something to a guy's office/job-place is not common, specially flowers. I would remember her every time I saw those flowers .

As for giving flowers, I have given them but not on a date. I was seeing this girl and it was her birthday. Reserved a table in a restaurant and left bunch of flowers on the table with a card with her name before I went to pick her up. Didn't tell her about it. As we got to the restaurant and walked through that table it got her attention and she kept looking at the table until I told her to look at the card and she didn't want to, she was like "No way! How embarrassing! Let's just go sit. Imagine if the people from that table arrive while we are snooping through their stuff!" I told her I was curious to see what it said and told her to just take a peek at the card. She saw her name and I guessed she liked the surprise .
