A Romantic First Date

A bouquet of flowers for your first date!
In an ideal world those flowers would always make a big impression on your date. Unfortunately in reality, first date romance falls flat a lot more often than it succeeds. Usually it’s because the gifts are chosen without being based on any specific knowledge about the person.
When you bring a romantic gift on a first date, three things can happen…

1. The gift causes a problem and has to be rejected.

Suppose you bring a bouquet of Tulips only to learn that she is allergic to them. Or what if she believes that flowers are a waste of money. In either of this cases, your gesture may do more harm than good. In this case you may still score a few points, but only because its “the thought that counts!”
Of course in this case, it would have been better if you left the gift at home & just brought the thoughts!

2. Your date is indifferent or only mildly pleased with the gift.

Suppose you bring a box of delicious chocolates. If your date likes chocolate, you’ve done well. After all, your gift may be perceived as thoughtful and she may even enjoy the candy. This falls into the nice gifts category. Your date may even say something like, “You brought me candy? Isn’t that nice!”
If you are aiming for “nice” this is a good thing though it also means you probably left “points” on the table. However if you are looking to really wow your date you need to learn about the third possibility…

3. Your Date Is Astounded!

It takes work to reach this level but it’s not impossible. All you need to know is a few things about your date.
Ask yourself these questions:
Where did/does she attend school?
Where did you meet her?
Has she ever been married?
What was she drinking when you met?
What does she drive?

--Happy dating guys!
