My mother just called me in the other room to tell me that she's watching a program about dating and they said that in Australia if you give a woman flowers on the first date, it means you want to sleep with them. What's up with that? Damn, that's just crazy!

Doesn't take much to get laid in Australia, does it?

LOL Gus. I am just shocked by this. I feel sorry for the guys who don't know this who end up knocked on their ass.

In russia different types of flowers mean VERY different things. You have to be careful.

There's no point in trying to guess if a man wants to sleep with you.

We all want to sleep with every woman on the planet.

Every single one.

And a lot of the married ones.

Please don't be upset at our lack of exclusivity, we just have a limited time here and don't want to waste a minute.

So, yes, if I bring flowers on the first date, I want to sleep with you.

I also want to sleep with you if I don't bring flowers.

You can tell if a man wants to sleep with you if he shows up for the date.

That's it.
Just shows up.
No mystery,
no signals,
no hidden meaning.
If he is in the room with you
he wants to see what's under those blue jeans.

Are we clear? Feel better now?

I do.

Joe

Er - I don't know as we have a language of flowers that is so codified!

Also - if a fellow asks you for a date, isn't it already likely that he wants to sleep with you? I thought that was more or less a given? Doesn't mean he's gonna!

I am under the impression that if a guy asks you on a date then he has ALREADY slept with you. That's why I don't let my son ask girls on dates.

What else would flowers on a first date, or any date, mean?

The floral contract.


I have a couple of men friends who rate the woman - relationship worthy, depending on what she does with the flowers. If she gets a vase and some water - she's a keeper. If she tossed the flowers to the side, well she is still good enough for sex but not a relationship.
How common is this idea amoung men?

Trust me when I say, most of thier thoughts are still of the baser variety.
But yeah, the flower thing kinda freaked me too. Who knew underneath all that plaid and denim, my boys would have mushy sentiments.

Hmmm - psychoanalytically speaking, the "what she does with the flowers" thing relates back to what mummy did with their first gift - poopies in the nappy. The great psychic wound is that she THREW IT IN THE BIN or, even more scarily, FLUSHRD IT DOWN THE LOO!!!!

Hence, the sensitivity to women's reception of their offerings - I suspect it relates to some other, later, offerings too - but I SOOOO don't wanna go there...

Seriously though, if someone gives you flowers and you toss them aside as though they are nothing, that is RUDE and insensitive - to the guy AND the flowers. I think your men friends are good judges Ceili!
