I was thinking of surprising her to walk in with flowers being delivered to her work by an FTD Florist. After all, she tells me her and me are the talk of the town at work there. We've been on five or six dates (depends on what you call dates), so far. Met her kid on the last day date, and the kid seems to approve of me, I am told. She invited me over for dinner, with her and her kid, however, I am waiting for her kid to give the OK for that before I accept. I've already told her that I want this to turn into a relationship, she agreed wholeheartedly, and not just a fling.

Anyways, I thought it would be a nice surprise to send over flowers and maybe some candy. Nothing too elaborate, just a 30 or 40 dollar arrangement.

What do you guys (and girls) think?

Lovely. I think this timing is good, you're both agreed upon the direction and you've met her child. One little query: do you know if she prefers a pot plant over cut flowers? If she does, be sure to get her a pot plant, not cut flowers.

Not sure. Ordered a a small bouquet of flowers with some chocolate. I am sure she'll like it. If not, 40.00 down the drain.

If the card in the flowers contained tickets to a show she's been dying to see or maybe a day spa then i'd say you couldn't go far wrong.

We have a saying here: it is the thought which counts. She'll remember that long after the flowers and chocolate have endured their respective lifespans.

Anytime prior to the official establishment of a relationship.

The flower/teddy bear/plant I sent arrived yesterday around 5:00 PM at her work. She sent me a text about an hour after they arrived saying they were cute and she thought I was adorable. Said I thought they could brighten up your day. She replied back and said they sure have. And that was it.

I was expecting more dialog. Am I reading too much into it?

Umm...not sure about the teddy bear. Stuffed animals are kind of risky with a grown-up, I think. Especially when delivered to where she works. Could that be the reason she wasn't a little more...effusive? Hard to say without knowing her, as you do.

But, still, the thought was very sweet. Don't second guess it!!
