Mmm.
You need to weigh up the situation, and the lass.
Is she a high maintenance type, that is going to be pleased with them? If so then yes .( I wouldn't recommend high maintenance types unless it's for quick mutual sexual satisfaction. Don't make her high maintenance by giving flowers early).
Is she rough and ready, into the outdoors and real men. ( probably a keeper).
I wouldn't give flowers to this sort of woman.

Never!
Do you know what flowers on the second date symbolizes? Well a flower is actually a hermaphroditic sex organ for the plant - you're giving dead plant sex organs to your date - what is that supposed to mean? Give a potato. A potato can be cooked and eaten, it can be grown, it can even be used to unscrew a broken lightbulb - it symbolizes "I think we could nourish each other", or "I think our love could grow" or "I think we could solve problems together" - but flowers symbolize "I think we're going to look pretty for a few days then get chucked in the compost heap". Do the right thing - give her a potato.

For the sort of date I'm after, a packet of Smash might be more appropriate...

Maybe for you. However I like to give Little Miss Lemming a nice bunch of flowers every now and then.
I get her better guilt presents when I do stupid stuff.
As for the OP
You nuts?
Only give flowers if they form part of the foreplay.
> flowers are for guilt. if you done something bad then you give flowers.

Give her one flower,it's shows you've been thinking about her,but you're not trying to impress her with the big flashy bouquet.plus carrying a bunch of flowers around all evening is a pain in the arse.

On the other hand, potatoes have eyes all over and symbolise that you're watchful and controlling.
A much more obvious choice would be a large marrow which will be full of seeds and ahem, large. But take care not to over-represent yourself

Mainly what Dauphin said. However, if you do decide to buy flowers you need to make sure she's going to like them. Cut flowers aren't to every girls taste.
Good luck, whatever you decide.

I once gave a date flowers before we'd even spoken. We've been married for 12 years now. If you like her and want to show it, why the hell not. In my limited experience, most girls, outdoors or otherwise, like flowers.

Peeled, chipped and deep fried - tis the only way to a lasses heart North of the border and everyone knows that.
On a serious note, nothing says I have no imagination and didn't learn enough about you to get you a meaningful/funny/individual gift more than a bunch of flowers does. Of course if she did nothing but talk about her passion for flowers and her budding career as a florist then flowers will do just fine, probably not from the petrol station though.

At the end of the day you've got as far as second date. From here there isn't really a formula to follow, it's just about enjoying your time together and compatibility which are both two way things. If you want to buy her flowers, do it and stand by your decision, if you are only doing it because you think you should - don't.

Yes, especially if she hasn't had them much in the past it makes her feel special
Also I've learnt not to doubt when you want to do something nice for someone, what's the worst that can happen, you're being nice for goodness sakes just do it!

I'd never give flowers on a date, I mean, where do you put them? If you want to send flowers, send them to where she works. It's not enough for a girl to get flowers, she has to be seen to get them. Cue much cooing and 'tell us all about it'. Halifax job centre ground to a halt when I sent my gf half a dozen red roses.

In reply to Pj84: have at the language of flowers. Give a flower(s) that comprise a message that you want to say to her & tell her to decode it to get to the next date?
In reply to hokkyokusei:
I did, I was 21 (not 60+). Together 14 years, married 6, one lovely son.
So I guess buying flowers is okay, especially if she's worth it.
I still buy my wife flowers every 3-4 weeks, from the same florist for the past 9 years.

No reason. But if you don't want to come across as a desperado that is trying too hard I agree with most who say don't bother. If things work out for the best, you will have the rest of your life to give her flowers. Slowly slowly catchy monkey and the best things come to those who wait... including flowers!

I'm a bit late to the party on this but I reckon if you feel like giving her flowers, then give her flowers. My proviso would be that you don't buy a huge bouquet which is then a bit of a bind to deal with, but bring a small bunch of really good flowers. Something which can be held in the hand.
Nothing says garage forecourt like a wodge of chrysanthemums in cellophane.

Perhaps. But you are kind of playing all your cards right at the beginning of the game - and dating is a game. If she is unsure, there is no way of winning with a bold move like flowers on the second date. It has the air of desperation and trying too hard. The early part of dating is about you as individuals, not monetary gestures... unless of course your are an ageing millionaire and she is an 18 year old bombshell gold digger.
> Rather depends how the first date went?

I'd say it depends if she likes flowers! I don't like flowers that you buy in a shop, but love wild flowers in their natural environment. Wandering through a bluebell wood is great, but my husband has (quite rightly) never bought me flowers, I didn't even have a bouquet for my wedding. Each to their own, and you just need to do what she would like rather than following social conventions.

Very sceptical view. 'easy catch', some women dont look at me to that way. And I'm sure if she is one that does there'll be other warning signs.
Personally I got flowers on a second date and felt it was a very thoughtful gesture. almost as if it set the tone for a relationship where there are nice gestures for no other reason but that we want to be nice.

It says "I'm interested" "I've thought about you" and "I'm not a mean git because I'm prepared to spend money on something ephemeral"
But as others have said, a small pretty bunch/couple of stems from the florist (fresias etc) better than a garage forecourt job
I occasionally get flowers on a date and always think "Wow - how nice!"
Good luck!
