Should I bring roses?

Met a girl through a work visit last week, and today I sucked it up and went in to ask her out. And let me tell you what, I had a stupid grin on my face the rest of the day after she said yes (still do). Just like this: =D

So anyway, when we go out, if I pick her up at her house should I bring roses? I've never brought a date flowers before, so is this a normal, sweet thing to do for a first date or usually reserved for later? I just don't want it to come off as too over-the-top.

Thanks in advance, I'd really like to make a good first impression.

Hmm, tough choice. Some girls love roses, while some they think they "really smell like poo-poo". Ya dig? IME girls generally love presents and attention, but the best thing to do is tailor it to the girl.

You got any stalker info on her? Favorite bands, style, art, where she sleeps at night, pets, ect?

I'd usually say a present is better than no present, but it depends on the girl....
 
Bring the roses. If she doesn't appreciate you bringing her a gift it's her problem.
 
Just go with a single rose, nicely prepared. It's a simple gesture she will like, and one rose wont be over the top enough to embarrass her. A bouquet will.

OMFG YES YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS YESSSSSSSSSSS! Holy crap YESSSS!
 
I think that's a lovely thing to do. I have never felt embarrassed when a date brings roses.
 
Maybe one rose would be nice.

But I dunno, if a guy brought roses or flowers or a present to a first date, I'm not sure what I'd think. I mean, I'm into the whole "casual" thing at first.
But one rose probably wouldn't freak me out too much :p lol

Word. I personally wouldn't bring a gift to a first date. It may make it seem like you're not taking it slow, and well, why not take it slow?
Paying for dinner or whatnot for the date I would say is cool but roses may seem like you're trying too hard. Get her some on the 2nd or 3rd date, I'd say.
 
Mmmh, it really depends on the person...but I agree bringing flowers on the first date might be overdoing it a little bit. I'd say wait til the 2nd :)
 
I'd wait until the 2nd date or a later date but that's me. Instead just take her out to a nice dinner for the first date?
 
I think you should bring her a single longstem rose... A dozen says you have the bucks and she`ll order the most expensive thing on the menu. One shows you were thinking about her, but you don`t through your money around. I`d ring the doorbell with it in my teeth, but that`s just me.

This.

You're excited but don't blow yer figurative load just yet. Too much attention can be a turn-off. You should come in with the attitude that she should be happy she scored a date with you not vice-versa. This is, of course, assuming you're quite the catch. And you should be. Confidence, brah. Remember: no girl wants to date a clingy puppy seeking approval.

There's certainly a time & place for roses. This ain't it.
 
Don't give roses or any flowers unless you're picking her up at her home. A big spray would be an embarrassment to carry round on a date.
Just be polite. Give her your full attention and be completely interested in what she says. Plan what you intend to do on the date and don't push too hard on the physical side.

LOL You are ruining it for her! I'm tryin' to back up mah girls. Lobster and steak, yes!
 
While you are walking with her jump a neighbours fence and pick a beautiful flower while fighting off a dog. Women love the whole hunter gatherer thing.

I'd bring her a graphing calculator. If she appreciates it and knows how to use it, she's worth seeing again, if not...ditch her.

What if she already has a graphing calculator? Maybe he should wait for a few dates to figure out if she has a graphing calculator already.

To OP: It really does depend on the girl. The more romantic type would probably think it's really sweet. The more practical type (this is what I'm more like) would not be into it. If you choose to bring roses, I'd say just bring one! That way, if she is not the romantic type, she at least won't be overwhelmed.
