Would you give a gift on a first date?

[Cymru Am Byth]

My friends son wanted to buy his girlfriend a gift and he was taking her to watch a movie. I am not to sure of this on a first date as it is a bit personal. What would you do?:D;););)

[TaylorHicksRocks]

Bring her flowers....

Don't do it. It'll make him look like a doormat, or someone who's real desperate. He has to be careful, not to do things like that, right off that bat. Otherwise, the girl will start expecting that all the time.

Plus, if he starts giving gifts, chances are he'll expect something in return. If she doesn't reciprocate, in one way or another, then that'll cause problems.

So, my advice would be for him to wait on something like that.

That's not completely true and flowers are a nice gesture I think they are both too young to think about anything except the movie....

[RushDog]

How old are they?

[Eileenacanadian]

Yes, if they are teen's no gift, give it to mom! If he was a young man, flowers are soooo romantic. I remember a hunk of man picked me up at my parents house once and he had a single rose for me. Classy!

It's a first date so they have to be quite young. I would imagine if he had gone out before he would have known what to do.....

Not necessarily. He might be a real nerd, and it could've taken him a long time to get a date.

All the more reason for him to bring flowers!

[magnum]

In my own case on my first date, we went to see a movie and after the movie we both went for a long drive and I really enjoyed my first date in life.

[IdolMe]

First date gift???? Maybe if you knew this person for a really long time and it's a very small but fun gift... but if not forget it!!!

[TaylorHicksRocks]

Well my husband bought me oranges on our first date he said he would have brought flowers but they dies to quickly and he would have brought me a bottle of wine but he doesn't drink (he had been sober for 5 years at the time) and his mom told him you always bring something the first time you take a lady out...so maybe oranges do the trick...btw we knew each other 3 months before our first date and were married 6 months later....Oh I miss him so much but we are hanging in there....the 4th of Sept. would have been his birthday....

[Eileenacanadian]

flowers are a nice way of starting off a date! If you really like the person it's romantic and thoughtful. No need to bring flowers every date but the first date it's nice.

Your man sounds like he was a funny, nice natured guy.

[TaylorHicksRocks]

He was the best Eils!!!! Perhaps this is why our son is such a loving kind considerate young man....

[surfville]

Flowers always works for me. And it does makes the girl fell special,. Try to but a simple one and give it to her. Even if a lot of people say it don't work anymore for me it is still a very good way to show affection.

[TaylorHicksRocks]

It's the best way to show her that she is special....opening doors for her such as the car door is a nice gesture too....so many men have forgotten how to be a gentleman..

[surfville]

Yeah i agree with you most of the time men do forget those things. and seems like women don't care now this days either. But it doesn't mean that if you didn't open the door of the car that you don't like her, maybe you are just pre occupied.

[RushDog]

I think a 30-pack of Coors Light is a nice gift. That way you can share, and have a nice, lovely evening together.

[TaylorHicksRocks]

Your sarcasm is not as funny as Frankie's......Where is Frankie?

Probably drunk in a gutter somewhere, who knows?

[TaylorHicksRocks]

He should come back....

[RushDog]

He should come back....

Maybe you should give him a jingle.

[TaylorHicksRocks]

I would but I don't have his number....I have sent him e mails...No reply....

[RushDog]

Maybe he doesn't have internet anymore. Do you know his last name? Maybe you could call 411, and see if they have a listing. Didn't you say you talked to his daughter once? Maybe she has information on his whereabouts.

[TaylorHicksRocks]

Yes I know his last name and I sent a message to his daughter she hasn't heard from him...I know he has been online because he has checked him my space account..I think he just wants to be left alone....

Hmmm...Interesting.

I guess there's no point in bringing his name up, then.

[Eileenacanadian]

I wonder if he's depressed? I hope he isn't sick.

[TaylorHicksRocks]

Of course there is...so that he knows that he is missed..

[Eileenacanadian]

he may come back when idol is back??

[TaylorHicksRocks]

Exactly my thought..
