I've not had a great deal of second dates in the last few years, long term girlfriends and ex wives, but I've got one tonight at hers.
Is turning up with flowers too cheesy?
Cheers for any advice:)
If it feels right, do it. And good luck! ๐
I'm voting with take the flowers.
Turning up at her's ? If picking her up to go out no if going for tea yes.
It depends how old you both are. Also depends if you nailed her on the first date or not.
I'd be more inclined to take a can of squirty cream ๐
Contraception would be higher on my list
Unless shes passed the menopause
Definitely take sex toys......and spam-everyone loves spam.
The comedy response is that if you're asking here on STW.
Then perhaps you're in more trouble than flowers can deal with.
๐
However, I'd have probably taken a bottle of wine with me.
But then again, I appear to be a specialist in the niche arena of searching out all the female nut cases.
So probably best not to listen to me.
Good Luck.

Take flowers. Girls always love flowers and what harm can it do?
Take some Spam as a back up plan though in case she doesn't want the flowers.
Bunny rabbit and saucepan.
wine. Flowers are for your mum.
What about one of those cheesy fake roses that are actually made out of a saucy pair of knickers? Double win if it works!
Nick, are you dating his Mum?
Don't forget to tie a ribbon around your old chap. Chicks dig that.
I bought the little lady some flowers when we were a-courting, and she looked at me like I'd presented her with a dead kitten.
She now complains that I never buy her flowers, and each time I remind her why.
Anyway, take flowers.
ribbons? I thought it was scars chicks dig?
when did the rules change? I didn't get an email

Dude !, you will never get [i]that[/i] e-mail, memo. Chicks don't do that.

Take an interesting personality and a bit of imagination ๐
Turning up with flowers isn't a good look for all men.........the fact you've mentioned them means you can pull them off.......so yes take flowers
flowers, wine, chocolate, contraception. the looks you get at the checkout are funny as well... ๐
Flowers and a bottle of Asti Spumante (chilled).
depends on the girl..Asti Spumante
ribbons? I thought it was scars chicks dig?
Not on your old chap they don't. It tends to frighten them a bit.
The only things you need are a cheeky smile, a sense of humour, and your wallet..
Flowers are for Mother's Day and when you're married..
[i]1: You're supposed to read their mind.[/i]
Mother of god, NO!
You're supposed to anticipate their needs while still approaching them as if they were a mysterious and enigmatic creature. Showing signs of mind reading will tip them over the edge.
Girls just want to feel special. Do something for her you'd not do for someone else. I dunno, take her a stuffed aardvark. Have you ever done that before?

Ah !, I see you are a learned graduate from the school of lucky, random, guessolog. For success with women.

[i]take her a stuffed aardvark.[/i]
Thats whats for dinner. OP did mention she is Heston Blumenthal's sister.
flowers & spam for the win. ๐
No quoting of the old joke?
tall_martin: I've brought you some flowers
Putative Mrs T_M: I suppose you'll expect me to open my legs for those
tall_martin: Haven't you got a vase?
If you take flowers on a second date she'll think your Normal Norman from Boringtown Tedioushire, who's after a stepford wife to show off to his mum and dad and equally boring friends...
Is that you?
lube.
If you have to ask...
lube
You old romantic you...
As you mention ex wives your probably of a more mature age, so perhaps your date is aswell. In that case flowers are spot on. In any case if she doesn't appreciate the thought, she's probably not worth a third date.
I'll see your flowers and raise you a DVD of [i]It's a Wonderful Life[/i]. ๐
Now, you're not dull or desperate - you're romantic and in touch with your sensitive side.
As mentioned above, spam is your fall-back.
You might also want to think about wearing a hat. Chicks dig hat-wearers.
Well I've just started dating again I had 3 dates with a woman last week, didn't take a thing to any of them, 4th date She made dinner so I took wine, flowers just aren't my style.
We are now in a relationship 8)
So I guess what I'm saying is do what works for you, but IMO flowers are a tad cheesy.
Binners ,you forgot to mention the martial arts skilz ๐
Just remember that flowers from the garage are not 'real' flowers, only a proper florist will do. ๐
erm does she have to spell it out? take flowers. and a toothbrush. and have a couple of ham shanks before you go, to clear the tubes, like...I've got one tonight at hers.
this thread is why i luv STW ๐

Best advice yet ๐
take a good book!
Take a copy of your STD test results and present them to her as soon as you arrive, accompanied by a huge smile.
This works better if your results are clear.
