Electrocell you and i chatted about this before, and i have thought about it since then..
IMO regarding flowers or any other nicety, it depends on the conversations and situation leading up to the "meeting".
Showing up to pick someone up at home for a date, with some flowers.. to be escorted on a date can be a good thing.
If iv'e been chatting to you online and you show up with a bouquet of flowers at a concert for example, at out first meeting i may feel uncomfy about that. Especially if i don't like attention drawn to myself, that would be overdoing it for me. Trying too hard. Just meet me for some conversation and coffee in clean clothes, sober, with your respect in tact and that would go way further than flowers.
i do agree first dates are about getting to know each other. i've never been impressed with flowers per se, now a nice fishing rod, that would impress me. At least it required a thought process about me.
However, i do like a simple daisy.
