    Are you soon going on a first date with someone you like, or going on a blind date? You might be wondering What are the Best Flowers on a First Date.

    Flowers on a First Date

    Obviously, you want your first time meeting someone new to be perfect. So, let's begin at the beginning so that your meeting develops into a solid relationship.

    There are many dos and don'ts you have to observe while dating, no matter how simple and unaffected the lady in question is. For instance, should you take flowers for her on your first date or not? Which are the best flowers for allergies?

    What are the Best Flowers for First Dates?

    Why not take flowers on your blind date? It is true that flowers play a great role in advancing relationships. Just the idea of receiving a pretty bouquet from someone who cared enough to bring along some flowers can be a big thing in a new relationship.

    But on a blind date, would this be the right thing to do? What if they have allergies to flowers?

    If it is a blind date, obviously there's going to be at least one more person with you through the evening. Again, the date wouldn't want you to draw so much attention to them with an extravagant spray of flowers, so it might not be the right thing. 

    Second, you don't really know if you're going to like your date or not - and whether your feelings are going to be reciprocated, so why not take it slowly? Perhaps, at this stage, flower giving would be a little premature.

    There are some more reasons for considering gifting your date flowers on your first date

    • Your date may interpret your behavior as begging to be accepted.
    • Your date may feel pushed into a relationship they are still trying to figure out.
    • Your flowers might overwhelm them , considering it's your first meeting.
    • Your date may have allergies to flowers.

    Your date's point of view: Your first date will perhaps be at a restaurant or some such public place. Usually, people are a little shy and feel the spotlight is on them, at such times. So, they may not like to receive flowers when they aren't emotionally ready for such gifts.

    Second, they might feel a bit uncomfortable carrying them out of the restaurant or wherever you meet. So, why not play it cool for now with a small display with a simple bouquet or single flower?

    The right flowers for a blind date

    To put your date at ease, don't bring them a large bouquet of flowers.

    Instead, just bring one or two flowers that will convey your feeling of excitement and appreciation in getting to meet them for the first time. That's a safe enough place to start.

    You can save yourself from gifting a large more meaningful bouquet for when you are sure of each other. Make it big and fancy, if you like, because that will also show that you genuinely care for them. But all of that in a while...it is always best to start small and work your way up to a large display of affection. 

    For now, just get them one expensive flower or a small bouquet of inexpensive flowers. There's plenty of choice at the flower shops, so choose with care - or buy a flower from the people who sell them at romantic restaurants!

    Best flower for your blind date

    A rose is a good idea, if you're choosing a pink or a red one. Don't go in for a yellow flower, as it stands for friendship, not romance. Pick a flower that'll convey your feelings.

    For instance, how about daffodils, which stand for chivalry? Or orchids for delicate beauty?

    And yes, you can buy flowers from a gas station or a cheap store, OR go to a florist and wander through the shop till you find the flower you are looking for.

    Perhaps, you might find that a daisy is just right for now. In a sense, there are rules for this and yet there is a lot of flexibility, so the best advice would be to play it by ear. 

    If this whole thing makes you edgy, just ask the assistant at the florist's to help you with something nice but not something that goes overboard. With a little outside help, you can stay on track, financially and emotionally.

    The Best Flowers for Allergies

    The start of a new relationship can be very fragile. Both parties must put their best foot forward and ensure that you're able to steer the course of your growing friendship into emotional waters. You can skip giving flowers on a first date altogether or follow these tips to help you make your best first impression. 

    If you already know that your date suffers from allergies, you may want to ask if they're allergic to any specific plants or flowers in a nonchalant way - so that they don't figure out WHY you're asking!

    These are some of the top rate Best Flowers for Allergies

    • Hydrangeas
    • Carnations
    • Sunflowers
    • Peonies
    • Roses
