In twenty days, I'm going to see my girlfriend for the first time. I was a little curious what you think of my idea for flowers: 4 calla lilies and a single, long-stem rose.

That's all?

That's all?

It's a preliminary idea. Subject to change without notice.:rolleyes:

It's a nice enough idea I suppose, as long as you're picking her up from her house. I wouldn't want to be given flowers on a date if it means having to carry them around for hours.

lillies make me think of funerals and roses make me think that either you are trying to hard or not trying at all.

however, a nice orchid or two? perfection.

If you met on the internet she's probably an ugly weirdo anyway

Hmm.

1) I thought you girlfriend was on NS, too? So didn't you just spoil your surprise?

2) Callas can be nice, as can roses - but both of those together? I'd guess the rose look a tad out of place and lost, but what do I know. Go to the flower shop and see how it looks.

Yeah, I'm meeting her at her place of residence. I don't actually know that we'll really be going anywhere at all. lol

buy chocolate its the only way to please a woman!

oh that note if your meeting her for the first time you might not want to freak her out....can I have the back-story to this or do I have to play the guessing game for the next 45 bloody minuets!?

Damn you, Jolt! Now I have to retype the whole damned thing!:mad: :upyours:

I have been considering orchids.

No.

1) Who (as in, what nation) did you think she is?:confused:

2) I shall indeed. I just haven't had time....Yet here I am posting in General...Ah, procrastination is a beautiful art....do me a favor and steal my paint.:D

Double prick...er, post? :rolleyes:

Oh, I've got the plans for the chocolate taken care of.;)

I've posted this before....but probably not much outside of Spam.:D I "met" her waaay back on the 3rd of last month. I was chatting with an old friend from high school in MSN (she was using my girlfriend's computer 'cause they're suitemates), and they decided to talk to one of the other's friends. And I was conveniently online. So we chatted for an hour or so and I invited her to chat with me whenever she wanted. By the 9th, she was mine. :cool: And the 21st is the soonest I can go see her. She really is quite taken with me. Spent 50 hours talking over a six-day period (I had to keep a time log for a class:p). :cool:

Okay, so I haven't physically seen better, but I've concieved of better.

On a completely unrelated note, as far as you know what's her favorite color?

*points and laughs*

E-dater!! E-dater!!

That sounds very romantic.

'Sif I'd tell you now. :rolleyes: :p

See, this is why you would fail in an English course. You need to explain the significance of your sources and how they relate to what you want to express.:p

Duuuuuuuude....

Okay, so I haven't physically seen better, but I've concieved of better.

On a completely unrelated note, as far as you know what's her favorite color?
What have you conceived that's better?

I know with much certainty that her favorite color is blue.
*points and laughs*

Thank you.:)

You should make a blue flower *nodnod*

Oh, I've got the plans for the chocolate taken care of.;)

sounds kinky lets hope she’s not allergic to nuts :D *is just a man*

not so impressive story which doesn’t involve gypsies

awww bless MSN friend of a friend....wait I've pulled loads doing that...has NS helped people pull over the internets :eek:

Maybe this sounds stupid, but how are you meeting your girlfriend for the 1st time?Don't you have to,you know date someone and share romantic nights holding each other before dating or something like that or do I have this completely wrong? At any rate best luck, throw in some chocolates or something and keep us posted.

Yes, I had considered that. I don't think it matters that much. Still mulling that over, though. Anything in particular?

No, she isn't allergic to nuts.:p [/uncharacteristically and naively innocent]

No, six days of MSN chatting and she was completely enthralled.:) We'll get to the rest.;)

You really wanna hear more about this?:p

Who's the lucky lady FD?

*shrug* I dunno. Mabye it impresses me more when it's a green flower...

He won't tell us. Afraid she'll be corrupted (by someone other than him).

Well, you know me, I'm not someone for traditional/stereotype romantic ideas. I know that even though you haven't met her irl, you do know her for some time online. Wouldn't it be better to think of something personal to bring, instead of flowers?
That's just me, though.... the symbolism of flowers always tends to freak me out slightly. You cut them off, then put them in a vasr to watch them die slowly. I never understood how this came to be a symbol of love.

Could you not accept them as a beautiful object, as they are intended, rather than reading more into them then necessary?

Ok, to clarify : Giving me flowers - not a good idea. Giving me stuffed toys (yes, I once actually had that on a first date) - bad idea. Giving me a CD by yourself or your band - good idea. Giving me anything personal, anything with meaning to me and you - very good idea. Giving me a hug and a smile - all I expect.

But, as I said, that's just me. I don't like stereotypical behaviour.

Ugh, I'm with you on the stuffed toys, they're bad at any stage of a relationship.

But, as I said, that's just me. I don't like stereotypical behaviour.

I would never accuse you of behaving stereotypically. :p

But, similarly, it's not 'stereotypical' to like these things. It is the motive behind the gift that matters.

The orchid-idea was a good one. If you know she likes the colour blue, you might want to look into a blue orchid?

And you know what I would probably do: I'm a fan of the single rose, so I would not combine it with other flowers.

Otherwise: Sunflowers could be nice too.

And don't overdo it. Not too much on the first date :)

See, this is why you would fail in an English course. You need to explain the significance of your sources and how they relate to what you want to express.:p

you DO know I'm an English major, yes?;)

anyway, significance and relevance....use that list to basically write a note with the flowers. Translate it for her (or put it in the card with the flowers) For example, if you give her a yellow rose, when you give it to her, tell her it represents friendship...that kinda thing.

it works wonders on many females.

In twenty days, I'm going to see my girlfriend for the first time. I was a little curious what you think of my idea for flowers: 4 calla lilies and a single, long-stem rose.

40 red roses, a teddy bear, and some tasty fudge was what glitzi recieved on our first date ;)

then again, it was also valentine's day :D




however, the fact that you are considering this already/in-depth - and even which flowers in particular to get for her - is sweet :)

thats it. I'm sending you a dozen plastic flowers.

and you will stop loving her when they die :) (I've used that one:p )

What if the flower is hand crafted (that is, put in water with food coloring to change it's color)?

and you will stop loving her when they die :) (I've used that one:p )

Well, say a relative of the tinier, eviler sort, decides to behead them?

simple renew the love with even more flowers (showing more love)


German Nightmare's smiley has gotten me a date with two hot women :eek:

Otherwise: Sunflowers could be nice too.

And don't overdo it. Not too much on the first date :)

Sunflowers? Dont overdo it?

Sunflowers? Dont overdo it?

Depends upon how much of the sunflower you leave attached. Those things get freaking tall.

Sunflowers? Dont overdo it?

I like gerbras, personally. They're perfect for most women, they don't come on too strong and they come in nice colours.

What's a gerbra? Some Aussie thing?

Try blue iris and white or peach roses... it makes a nice combination, and isn't quite as stark as calla lilies and a rose. Either way, I'm sure she'll like it.

Want to know what she really wants?

Just remember: spell out the alphabet.

Hopefully, someone will get that.

Ill bet the symbolism of Christmas trees drives you right to the brink!

One word:

Spam.

Get her a nice can of Spam. It's a test gift. If she kicks out and gets pissed, she's to into having money spent on her. If she laughs, she has a sense of humor and will be worth the time.

Then you can give her the flowers. Or not, depending on how cheap you are.

Sunflowers? Dont overdo it?

Sunflowers... You know? Sunflowers? (http://northwestkansas.hdnews.net/graphics/photo%20gallery%20pics/SUNFLOWER%202.jpg)

And the "Don't overdo it" was a general warning. Don't go too much overboard on the first date :)

I like this idea.

Send her a dead woodchuck with a note attached that reads "Unlike this woodchuck, my love for you will never die".

I'd get a ring or a necklace or something.

Preferably silver...That's just my personal favorite, but it's cheaper than you might think, and it looks nice.

In my experiance, girls like shiny things, especially on the first date.

If you bother to buy them somthing more than 20 bucks, it shows you have "Commitment" as well.

Well, Spam is universal signal for love. At least that's what I'm told... so, of course, what you are saying is that if I were to bring you spam, you would immediately fall for me. So... where do you live again?

What if the flower is hand crafted (that is, put in water with food coloring to change it's color)?

Well, it would at least show that someone did put some thought to it rather than just asking a shop assistant to get him a nice bouquet for 12 $ ;)

I tend to view conventional expressions of "romance" as the least romantic gestures there are. Giving flowers or chocolates or any of the other standard gifts is...well, it's standard. You'd give them to any girl. The girl on the receiving end could be any girl at all. It's so impersonal.

If you really want to be romantic, find out something about your girl in particular. Don't just find out what her favorite flower is...find out if she even wants flowers to begin with. Find out if there's something else that would make her smile more.

Flowers are a "safe" gift for a blind date or an impersonal-yet-cordial encounter. But if you want to be really romantic, show that you're willing to take a risk and get something more personal.

You do have an interesting point...TBD already knows, so she gets gloating rights.:p

*Gloats at anyone who wanted to know* ;)

In my experience of online relationships, absolutely anything material that you give her immediately will be slightly overlooked, unless that sort of deed is heavily applied into your personality and she knows that.

It goes one of two ways. Either she is the type that'll act very casual, almost 're-starting the relationship' at first, or she'll be the type that jumps in your arms and freaks out. Everything else is middle ground.

That all being said, i'm a paranoid asshole as of seven weeks ago due to an ended relationship of this type. So meh.

Well, it would at least show that someone did put some thought to it rather than just asking a shop assistant to get him a nice bouquet for 12 $ ;)

Bwahaha! Yay for thought...

...hypothetically, would asking her where I could find food coloring in a store give it away?

Do e-dates count?:P Hmm...still pondering...

No, it doesn't count... The first RL meeting is the very first meeting - an important milestone :)

Since you know each other quite well by now, maybe you could go for something more personal? If you know of anything?

how can you have a girlfriend you haven't seen? is this an internet thing?

I know who she is! I know! I know! I know! *Dances along merrily*

(And that, my darling TBD, is how one gloats)

I think the flowers are sweet. And I know you said next time, but personally, i think EVERY date should include something shiny. Not necessarily jewelry or anything. Tin foil would work. But maybe thats just me.......:p

I got a teddy bear for Valentines Day last year, and I LOVE it! I still sleep with it almost every night, even tho the relationship ended. It helps that he got it at Build-A-Bear, so he picked it out himself, helped stuff it, even put a little heart into it. Its one of my favorite stuffed animals :fluffle: :fluffle:

a teeny kittycat keyring called snugglemuffin is what every girl really wants ;-) XD

(notice how i worked some great gender stereotyping in there for you dear?
;-) :-p)
Stereotype or not, I'm sure she really would love it.:p
*Gloats at anyone who wanted to know* ;-)
Hehe, that's a start.;) Like the addition to your sig, btw.:cool:

I'm guessing she'll be leaning toward the jumping in my arms and freaking out, but she'll be too shy to actually do it.:p

No. Well, maybe. But probably not. She might know afterwards....

I've got that in mind already.;) Just asking about flowers for now. What I don't use this time might very well be good ideas for next time.:p
how can you have a girlfriend you haven't seen?
The internet.

In a very temporal sense, yes.
I know who she is! I know! I know! I know! *Dances along merrily*

But...you don't know who she is....:p And I've got something in mind for the stuffed animal, too. Not going with that one this time, though. Too lazy and I really don't wanna overdo it. And yes, PM, I really do think that would be overdoing it.:p I'm just not that...explicit.

Well, i've never met her. But I do know her name. I even have a vague idea of what she looks like. (Very pretty, btw. You're a lucky fellow)
