FLOWERS and CHOCOLATES during courting time..

Well I did not receive choco or flowers but greeting cards on occasions. Ordinary people cannot afford to buy expensive things when courting.

hhhmmmm mayb way way back my younger years i have tried accepting such goodies from those guys who courted me. its a nice gifts from friends and special people and person who look at you with such respect and love. and by now havent tried it that much. well if we have our anniversary we just go out and have some fun. having the time of our lives... jhelai

I don't know, i never try giving girls chocolate and flowers before. at that time, it was too expensive for me, probably still is. but flowers at a local market, that's alot better and fine

flowers and chocolates are the classic gifts in relationships. Yes they are nice and no girl does not want to receive one from a guy. However, so much as it is already too common, I'd prefer other gifts that could be more unique like the things I want or a stuff toy in my favorite color or something. My boyfriend gave me a super mario stuff toy cause he knows I love super mario. :) Well, what I'm trying to say is more unique gifts would be much more surprising and touching but I don't say flowers and chocolates are a bad idea.

hi there janebeth :) personally, i don't really like flowers. i don't really appreciate them. but when a guy, who i like, courts me and gives me flowers, i suddenly like them! haha i can appreciate them already. for me, i guess it depends on who's giving them. i like receiving chocolates. not just because they're delicious, but because chocolates say "i love you" more than flowers. my boyfriend and i celebrate monthsaries and anniversaries together. i usually leave it up to him to take me wherever he wants and surprise me. i like it that way because it's different everytime. it's not the usual movie then dinner type of date. :)

Once I went out with a man in a limo and he brought champagne in the limo and flowers. It was the event of a lifetime, I guess.

I think flowers and chocolates are sweet courting gifts and I like them a lot. I especially like flowers, they are so pretty. I have heard people say that they are too common as gifts to women, a cliche but I don't care, I like them and they work for me!

I don't like flowers, they are pretty and nice but what will I do with it afterwards. I prefer chocolates or anything sweet. I have received few flowers before and chocolates. I think during courting boys should be creative not just the usual flowers and chocolates. They should always bring you something not only for you but also for your family.

hi janebeth well I am here in the US and years back when my'husband was courting me he was too practical he only took me out to eat and to the movies, no flowers, no chocolates. but he gave me the one thing that a lot of girls or women would love to get,his total friendship and unconditional love, he loved me and liked me for myself just as I was, warts and all, no strings attached,even my own parents didnt do that. I loved him for that no matter what other things he had or did not have,to be loved unconditonally is really rare.

I usually give my girl some potted plants (better than buying a bouquet) But I guess this is a good time to tell all you girls that giving us guys flowers and chocolates are okay too... hahaha!!

My friend at work was dating a new boyfriend, and he turned up at the office with a box of chocolates and red roses. Later that night on their date, he ate all the chocolates. She thought it was a sign that he was tight with money so she dumped him.

some may say it's a bit old already but yes flowers and chocolates are effective still.

Giving flowers and chocolates during the stage of courting was the old fashioned or one of the traditional ways that a guy used to do when he likes a girl. I still find that sweet but it becomes very redundant. I mean when a guy starts to give you these things it means that he is going to court you, it becomes very predictable already. I believe it would be better if you cook a dish together then eat or you can bring her a dish that you cooked yourself. Or it's okay if you don't give anything at the beginning unless the girl is expecting something. It really depends on the girl. Yes I still go for celebrating monthsaries and anniversaries because it wold make you both feel that you are happy with the relationship and the relationship that was established is very much worth celebrating.
