I think I would forget inducing any further delays and just get to the appointment as safely/quickly as I could.  Delays happen a lot on both sides of the equation for a lot of valid reasons and its not necessary to compensate through flowers just to say you're sorry.

Re: A question to ponder

You can handle this either two ways.  Depends on if you may have already met her or talked with her before and know her demeanor enough to know if she is the type who would appreciate the thoughtfulness and the gift.  If she is, give her a quick call.  Ask her if she is sure her night is open after your appointment and if it is, ask her if she would mind you making a quick stop on the way to her to get her a small, but special "something".  If she says she don't mind and her tone of her voice sounds very pleasant and relaxed, then go for it.  If her voice gets off chord when she says she don't mind, then you know she actually does.  So use that to make your decision.  If you don't know the lady at all yet, forget the flowers and I would suggest apologizing when you arrive and if the session goes well then leave an extra tip for your tardiness.  

I say don't stop for the flowers....

In my head I personally would be thinking, "If he didn't stop for flowers, he would've been on time."

What's with quotations around "date" anyway??
You don't consider it a date??  Just a "date"??
lol...

Anyway, every lady is different.  I think Ladee Lilly is correct when saying you should call her first and ask...  Your date, I mean "date" will let you know!!    If it was me, I would say, that's not necessary, just come on over!!

Re: Get the flowers!

...and while you are there, pick up some dark chocolate, a little something sexy for her to wear, and maybe a bottle of good wine. Hot times tonight! LOL

Re: I would bring the flowers...

if there was a place on the way that wouldn't make me even more late than I already was. If I wasn't familiar with the area, it could be a disaster. I'm an American male, and that means two things. I get lost very easily, and I don't ask for directions.

So, yes, bring the flowers, and possibly plan on asking if you can book a little more time, when you get there.

A say no flowers

They'll be half wilted by the time you get there anyway, and then I'd have to go find a vase, etc. Which means even more time wasted. No flowers, just get your ass over there and make it up to her in other ways.

Awwww. so glad to see you're out having fun on a "Date"!

What a lucky lady she is ! If shs has no other dates lined up then don't feel you have to get something to make up for running 15-25 minutes behind your ETA.

But the flowers would be a very nice gesture anyway. Not for being late but "just because".

Have fun,

Steph

of mine who just asked me to ask the question.... no really.

Ok, who am I kidding. You girls already know me too well. And by the way, cut me some slack ok? The dam drive from Houston to the Carolinas is like 16 hours long.

Goodies are always a plus. Some ladies really love flowers. I am more of a practical girl.. skip the flowers.. ( they die) bring me something we can share together a candle, a biscuit, even a bottle of wine.

Late is late 10 minutes or 30 minutes you are still late and the little extra goes along way. she will remember you just like you will remember her if she goes the extra mile.

usually,  a phone call works and most LADIES, who schedule multiple hours do not have gentlemen lined up out the door and you are her only concern anyway....

Relax and enjoy..
