Default Re: Beware of Single Males Bearing Gifts...

I realize that we are completely in the minority on this, but honestly we don't expect to be "woo'd". In fact, I would - as a husband - be very turned off by a single guy bringing my wife flowers. It would turn a dinner with possibilities into dinner and "have a nice night - thanks for stopping by."

The gifts that we have gotten from friends (playmates and not) have mostly been of the humorous type. As you may imagine, we have a pretty impressive collection of monkey stuff in our office.

Romantic gifts would just be weird.

Again - I know we are in the minority - and it seems others welcome such tokens. I think what I would do in your shoes would be to stay "event appropriate" as others have suggested. Leave the "awwww" gifts for later when you know the couple would welcome them.
