I know I always did! One flower, perhaps a yellow rose and I would have been eating out of your hand! lol Red roses mean love and yellow I believe is friendship.

Flowers at the beginning of a first date = BAD unless you have known this woman for a while in a friendship capacity. What if she's allergic?!
Also, I hate getting flowers at the beginning of the date because I either have to scramble for a vase before we leave, or juggle them around all night. I think a daytime date that ended with a spontaneous purchase from a flower cart would be very sweet, though.
As far as what kind and how many, keep the bouquet small - think of flowers as being words, and the more flowers there are, the louder you are saying whatever you want to say. Also, skip roses if you are giving her the flowers at the beginning of the date. I personally would find it creepy if somebody I barely knew started off a conversation by saying "I love you", and that's effectively what roses mean nowadays, regardless of color. (And a big bouquet of roses = shouting I LOVE YOU at the top of your lungs, which is SERIOUSLY creepy to me on a first date!)
I'm sorry that my advice is more about what NOT to do than what TO do, but sometimes that's just as important.

Here is the deal, if it is a blind date or fix up of any kind...wait to bring the flowers until you have a second date. If you are not her type than no flowers on the planet are going to do the job. If you got the date on your own, by asking her out, then she has a notion that she could like you and bringing a flower or flowers are going to make a great impression. I agree with others though...one flower is sweet and romantic, save the bundles of flowers to be sent to a work place later (trust me...that is huge to girls)

Yes ... of course ... flowers are always a sweet gesture in my book ... plus it makes it look like you actually thought about the date before hand ... !
A nice bouquet of mixed flowers will do the trick ... no roses ... I think those should be saved for the more intimate dates .. further down the road ... the people at the flower shop should know what to pick out ... !
Also if you know where she works ... and you think it would be ok for her to receive flowers at work then go for that one ... with a cute little note on it saying something like " Looking forward to our date on Friday night ... just thinking about you " or some crap like that ... it would make her melt ... I'm always waiting for flowers to show up at my work ... at least from a guy ... lol ... my auntie sends me flowers for " Just because I love You " days ... !

Every lady loves to have roses on the first date.Enough to put into a vase.3-4 well be nice. But dont just make it on a first date. Do it occasionally. That's the problem with men, They just think of it as a one time thing. Ladies love to have roses. If it was uo to me every Friday or on pay day. Just to show her how much you appreciate every thing she has done for yall.

on the first date, flowers can be a bit much...unless you keep it simple. a single rose or even more flirty...a daisy. because roses are the sign of love and on the first date that's a bit overwhelming. anyways, a daisy would be so flirty on a first date, it's cute and if things don't work out you didn't spend a bunch of money and she won't feel as bad because you gave her a bunch of flowers.
hope this helps =)

I like roses but not on a first date, especially not red ones!
I would prefer a mixed bunch... not carnations unless you know that's her favourite, because you might be seen as cheap. If you can, get them in a nice arrangement at a florist or nice grocery store, rather than the thrown-together corner store variety. And wrap them if they're in icky plastic, and *remember to take the price sticker off!*

No to flowers on first date. Maybe later on in the relationship
I like it if:
1. the guy actually shows up
2. he takes me out and pays for whatever we end up doing
3. takes me home/leaves when the night is over

If you're not an interesting intelligent man, the flower(s) you bring to me on our first date has (have) no meaning.
