After dinner flowers?

What is appropriate on a dinner date - after dinner flowers? Asking for a friend.
I feel like before dinner flowers is too much (coming on too strong), especially roses. But, maybe carnations are ok after dinner? Keep them in the car to surprise after?

Generally speaking, skip the flowers for any dinner dates (and most other occasions to tell you the truth). 


I’ve brought flowers on very select occasions in the past - if I’d seen her a moderate number of times (like 4 or 5) but not seriously, I was picking her up, and we were going somewhere formal (charity event, etc.). Honestly, I still felt like it was a bit much, even though I enjoyed feeling suave for a moment. You want them to be fresh when she gets them, and you absolutely want her to be able to leave them behind at her place - carrying flowers around (or throwing them away) is a huge buzzkill. 
 

It’s a nice touch if 1) you do it once, 2) she’s into that kind of thing, 3) the circumstances are appropriate, 4) you two have a good rapport, and 5) you can do it without making it weird. I think most situations strike out based on these criteria, but I won’t say never

 

uhm...hell no...the date itself is the gift...a rollercoaster of fun, laughs and good emotions...and if you do it right...they often end in sex...and then everybody goes home happy.

no where does giving / receiving a gift have a place here

just google it...you're welcome
 

Don't get her flowers. Best advice that I can give you as a girl is that the less you invest in a girl, the more she likes you. Like its addicting as a woman to do things to get a guys attention... only if he's not putting in enough effort. If a guy got me flowers on a second date, it would be a huge turn off. If he spent an hour with me and was an asshole to me - I'd prob be dreaming about him, just saying.
