I'm trying to be open minded and go with the flow of something great developing, but I really really want to play it safe too.
there's no point inviting a man over even for dinner they think everything is an invitation for sex. I mean, my God, only knew this woman for 3 dates....

No hard feelings, I hope.

I agree with the above.

Hope it goes great!

Also this marriage material talk, maybe just a little premature, dont you think?
I agree. Play it by ear and don't force anything. Go as far as she wants, as long as it isn't further than you want to go at this point.

First off, don't get her flowers at all. Bad move.

Next, you have to make a move on her. Stop putting her on a pedestal. Go as far as you can with her and make her say no. If she wants sex, she will have it with you if you make a move. If you don't make a move, she will think there is something wrong with you.

Final advice, Don't put her on a pedestal!

Curious as to why you think this is a bad move? As a woman, I love having fresh flowers around the house and would find this gesture to be very thoughtful.

Oh, good grief! A woman offers to reciprocate your generosity, and you're assuming she's "paying" you with sex? Why would you assume that? She's not a hooker. Dinner means dinner. It's a little scary to know that men think this way.

Stop overthinking it. Go there and give her a night she will remember and above all have fun (regardless of sex/making out or not).

I would take the advice of women here, given that you want to know her perspective.
