Is it a good idea to bring flowers on a date?

 

One of the most common questions we get is, “Is it a good idea to bring flowers on my date?”.

It’s a difficult question to answer because all women are different- some will love the idea, some will hate it and some will like it but dislike the fact they’ve got to carry this bouquet around with them awkwardly for the rest of the evening.

We’ve come to the conclusion that “No,” is the simplest and best answer we can give. Here’s why:

1. They are awkward to carry
2. Awkward to place down anywhere
3. Huge possibility of getting flowers in the face when going in for a kiss!
4. Can make the recipient feel like they are a burden more than a gift.

The best idea is to send these flowers the following day. If you have a good feeling about the date, you can even order in advance. Send the flowers, along with a thank you card and a box of chocolates to her workplace the following day. This will not only please her immensely, but invoke a sense of jealousy in her colleagues as well!

Being in a very emotionally led industry, we’ve seen a lot of romantic gestures- some good and some… well, terrible! Our favourites are messages that say something like, “Last night was wonderful… Same time next week?”.

These types of messages also tend to be the ones that lead on for stronger relationships, so I’ve been told by our customer services department, who continue processing orders for the same couple for days, weeks, months and even years on! We know for sure that at least one that started this way has also become a marriage!

If there’s any other questions you’d like answering, email us or post a comment and we’ll be glad to help!
