That's usually when you have to get the big Hefty bags and larger recepticals, so you decide to split it with them on pay day. She wants the Hello Kitty one. He wants the black Rubbermaid one that's more economic. He caves in cause he doesn't want to argue.

Wow, I never had that issue, I was more cleaver than that...I used my neighbors trash can and called it a day!

I like to play hard to get; no sex until the fifth or sixth date at the earliest. Oh, there will be kissing and petting well before then but they ain't gettin' any until they beg.:cool:

I some how picture you in a study surrounded with high book shelves, a fire place going, a pipe in a tray near and end table, a roaring fire, and while wearing a formal suit, requesting the girl you are with, to, "give it her best shot"!

Somehow I knew that's how you were.

There's been some great advice here, so really all I can add is my own two cents (re: pretty darn biased). I've had a lot of boyfriends, but I always remember the dates where I got flowers. I think the trick is to only give them if you're picking her up, then she can stash them somewhere.

it's getting a little raunchy in here isn't it? Not quite the "posting style of The Fedora Lounge" is it? Or is it?

You're already doing PG-13 and now stepping into R territory.

Back to the flowers. If you do present them, cut them yourself. Nothing romantic about whipping out a credit card to buy herbicide-sprayed posies from Honduras or who-knows-where. Maybe you'll even strike up an interesting conversation with the person whose rosebush you'd like to trim.

Oh, and for a second or third date? Cook dinner for her. In my experience, nothing gets them wobblier in the knees than witnessing this simple act. The more cast iron the better. :)

Yes, good advice, a small posy of flowers is always nice, or some that you have stolen from the neighbours garden on your way to the date. (Ahem). Seriously, a small posy that is not going to cause too much hassle for the lady to carry, or take too much space if she puts it down on a bar or table, is always welcomed and thoughtful.

I second the cooking thing too, nothing nicer than seeing a chap manhandling a bit of Le Crueset in the kitchen.

Some how the thought of "whom" would do any cooking makes me think in relationship of the date itself, and that it would be safer for a guy to do the cooking, keeping the factor of the "knife" in his control! (not wanting to draw any flak from the Gal's, just saying if the Guy made the Gal mad...."swoosh" things could get a lil choppy for him! lol!

I agree too! I appreciate the effort no matter what, but I'd rather have hand picked flowers :)
And yes, to see a man cook is fabulous!
I take out the trash.
You're a good man Scotty :D
