So you did the whole flower thing on the first date. Maybe. After all, again it would depend. If you felt that even a single flower would feel like something already overboard, then you wouldn’t do it. And again, it would depend on who you were going out on the date with. Someone you’d known for a while? Cool, flower then. Someone you’d just met, and maybe weren’t even sure you liked? Cool, postpone the flower then. No biggie.
Then maybe after the first date or two, you talk on the phone some more. You hang out a bit more. Get to know each other better. Try to get a feel for whether you actually like her. And also try to get a feel for how she feels about you. Is she giving off vibes telling you that she’s into you too? Or is her response basically the equivalent of a blank wall? If it is, tough luck, man. Especially if you realize that you do like her.
