Rose on a first date?

I am going on a date this weekend. I have not been out with a woman in a long time. (3 years) Would it be a good idea to give her a single rose on a first date? Also what are some good first date ideas besides the movies. I am 27 and she is 32.

Rose on a first date?
Great idea! A rose (preferably white since red indicates passion) is classy and very a sweet gesture. As for ideas for a first date consider these options (other than a movie):



-Miniature golf

-Amusement park

-Bowling

-Video arcade

-Going to a park for a picnic meal

-Wine sampling



Keep the mood upbeat and fun. A lady is more likely to remember a fun date and in turn, want another date with someone who is a part of the "fun" in that date. Good luck!
Reply:Single rose is perfect ---- not more - not a bouquet...... a single rose.



:husband did this for me on our first date.



btw - pick white - its pretty- and different then red.
Reply:totally cliche, but it works
Reply:A rose is sweet...and a single one is fine (a dozen would definitely be overpowering!)...how about minature golf? Bowling is fun.....got an ice-cream parlour in town? Sharing a milkshake is fun....into antiques? Going around those old odd shops can be really interesting. Good luck!
Reply:i think that instead of a single rose, you should get her more flowers.



get her a bouquet.



a single rose i feel is more intense romance. like when you've been going out for a while.
Reply:well I would be against turning on the charm that soon , go to a movie or bowling and out to dinner , see how it is .
Reply:personally...for me its a bad idea..but she might like it..its a good idea but maybe you should wait for bit
Reply:A rose is nice. Dinner is nice. Just keep it simple, you're rusty. Concentrate on being a great guy, not so much about date activities.
Reply:Kosmo K has some great ideas for the date, however if you are dead set on giving her a Rose, then make sure it is either Yellow or White. A Red Carnation is a nice sentiment, it says that you are a warming, caring individual. The Rose should be left for the 2nd date.
Reply:I love the rose idea. Not many guys think of that. Movies sounds good as a first date. You can also go to dinner or to some quiet bar so you can talk. Good luck.
Reply:A rose is a great idea but stay away from red go for pink or white keep it light on the first date. As far as going out pack up a picnic basket with food (maybe a bottle of white zin) go on a down a short trail in a lightly wooded area (make sure to take a flash light) then after you two eat lay on the blanket and check out the stars. Relax, talk, it'll be fun.
Reply:great idea
Reply:a rose is a wonderful gesture. Take her to a nice dinner and maybe a nice walk in a park.
Reply:You should absolutely give it to her. It's a very sweet gesture.
Reply:a single rose is good but not red, check your local florists, different colors mean different things, red is love(be careful)

i like to start a new date off with going to a resteraunt, haveing a drink or 2 in the bar to lighten things up, then have a nice dinner, dont be a pig, make sure and chew with your mouth closed, let her order first so on...

then maybe a movie or a casual drive maybe to the beach, depending on the attire your wearing.. good luck man
Reply:restraunt i would say and take a single rose



and maybe if you have another date bring more



good luck xx
Reply:A rose is a good idea. How about you go to a park and feed ducks. Good luck
Reply:Sure, that would be nice!
Reply:Bring daisies. Roses will imply you want something, while daisies are nonthreatening.



You should take her somewhere low stress and not so noisy that you have to yell. Take her to an arberitum (bring a disposable camera for her to take pictures for her to take home with her) or a fair.
Reply:If ur going to give roses give more than one...
Reply:Too soon. Try a white or a yellow one first. Wait a while before the red ones.



Red = Love, Beauty, Courage and Respect, Romantic Love, Congratulations, "I Love You", "Job Well Done", Sincere Love, Respect, Courage %26amp; Passion



White = Purity, Innocence, Silence, Secrecy, Reverence, Humility, Youthfulness, "I am worthy of you", Heavenly



Yellow =Joy, Gladness, Friendship, Delight, Promise of a new beginning, Welcome Back, Remember Me, Jealousy, "I care"
Reply:get three different flowers a rose and another two, give it to her at three different intervals. first when u pick her up, then before u enter the restaurant then wen u sen her home. be plain and honest and it will work out just right
Reply:I would go with a bunch of flowers...not roses...roses are more about love and since it's the first date that's a little fast.

Maybe it's just me, but I'd go with something else.
Reply:no. just relax.
Reply:I think a single rose is a lovely gesture. It gives the impression you are serious about a potential relationship rather than just out to get some.



The first date... it would be nice if it represented something you already know about her since it would show an interest in who she really is. Especially if this is something you also share an interest in. If she is into gardening, you could visit a botanical garden. Astronomy, a planetarium. Animals, the zoo. Art, the museum. If she is into sports... it could be a professional ball game or sports museum. But dinner and a movie, followed with cocktails isn't a bad choice, either. That was the first date my husband took me on......and we've been married 21 years.



Good luck.
Reply:have 12 roses delivered to her at the table of your restaurant meal,

give the waiter $5 before ahdn and tell him that only to bring out the flowers when your date orders the dessert.



Then talk about how amazing ehr eys are and htat you have not told anyone this befoer becaouse you have not seen this befoer or felt hte reaction before.

Reply:rose-yes, you should take her on a romantic dinner and then a nice walk ( if you live near a beach then thats nice at sunset)
Reply:Give her a rose and take a walk around the park and talk about each other.
