One flower on the second date seems appropriate to me.

I met my SO online. We chatted and talked for around 3 weeks before meeting.

The day we met was on a Sunday and it was at around 7 in the morning. In one hand he had flowers which included my favorite color, periwinkle, in the other hand he had a Venti Mocha from Starbucks, my favorite coffee at the time.

What did that tell me? It told me he paid attention during our chats and conversations. He knew my favorite color and he knew what my coffee was.

It did not make me feel uncomfortable. It actually made me feel like I probably had a keeper on my hands. Over 2 years later I would have to say my initial assumption was right.

I always did. I normally brought them a bottle of wine, or a Hugo Boss T shirt (after knowing their sizes) Or I brought them some cake to enjoy.

They also brought me something as well, normally just flowers. I absolutely enjoyed meeting new people. It is a lot of fun!

Hell no. I want to spend the least amount of money as possible on the first date. I'll take them to free places and if things are going way, then maybe I'll pull out the wallet.

goes to my point point about establishing an emotional connection first and special occassions, your first meeting.

Needless to say it was the creepiest date she had ever been on. What in the world was that guy thinking?
GPS tracker?

I was thinking this^

If you know they like something you talked about prior to meeting then it would be cool.

Fifth of JD, box of Marlboro, hubcaps for her trailer. You know, stuff she can use or appreciate.
