    So i've been seeing this girl and we've been hanging out 2-3 times a week and email back and forth. I've bought her flowers once before, just want to know if this is a good idea or bad idea. I don't want to sound or be clingy

    well how long ago did you give her flowers? I wouldn't do it too often. that just screams clingy and she will also expect flowers all the time and it won't be special anymore.

    with that said, it really depends on the girl. but most i've met are a double standard. they want you do do sweet things like that all the time but at the same time don't...fun games!

    Do it. Ive never met a girl that dosent love flowers. And if her old ones were two weeks ago they are starting to or just did die.

    Women love that shit, go for it. And if you guys stick around long enough be ready for complaining about how you used to do stuff like this. ;)

    Give her flower seeds instead to show your commitment.

    I'd rather have potted flowers. They don't die. (unless she doesn't have a green thumb)

    She'll love them at work, IMO. All her co-worker girlfriends will be jealous.

    Check your employee cavorting policies before it's let known who did it. But yes, flowers are the cats meow for the ladies at work. those are the kinds of things that are remembered, but don't let up because it'll be brought up as stated by MSP. my lady loves potted plants but it sounds like your gal likes the symbols that roses have become.
    As far as appreciation......you get what you pay for when giving roses. i wouldn't go to walmart and get a dozen......................if you know what I mean. Juball had one of the neatest ideas I've ever heard. Seeds and commitment....brilliant!

    Or you could just give her your seed.

    Bad idea since you work together. Also, flowers are tacky.

    I dip my pen in company ink too. We've been together for the better part of two years.

    It's true flowers are tacky, but I think that's especially true if you buy them. Go pick some flowers you see. They are probably everywhere where you live...

    Flowers are good if you are married or been dating long term. It's a reminder of how much you STILL love them and coworkers are impressed. But, just starting out, you can get the reputation of being a wanker quickly with too many gifts. Just my 47 years of this type of activity, it's always your call because only you know the situation.

    This.

    Can you think of something else you can do that is more personal? Think about what she likes. Rather than just buying whatever that is for her (lets say tickets to ********), buy a couple and invite her along. If she bites, she obviously likes to spend time with you. Then you can take her out for dinner or whatever afterwards and spend more time/money on her.

    Flowers don't mean so much these days as far as the dating scene goes (as mentioned above). Besides that, you're not wanting to make a declaration at work anyway (bad move- you'll jeapordize your job/career and show your weakness card to everyone.

    Also, if things go sour, you'll look like a tool and kill your chances with the other fish in the pond.

    women love that dumb shit.
    they like to get their coworker female friends jealous.

    this would be the perfect time to start fucking with her head.
    send her flowers but dont say who from, say "from your secret admirer"

    let the joke go on for a couple years, turn it into a stalker problem.. then lol in her face about it.

    dude, there's nothing wrong with giving flowers when you start dating. I gave my girlfriend a rose a few weeks into dating and she always remembers it.

    Maybe a single rose hand-delivered would be more thoughtful than a huge bouquet.
