After all, in order to make a good impression, you can’t buy the first flowers on a date in the first store on your way. It is necessary to treat the matter with taste and love.

The culture of giving flowers in Russia

At all times, flowers were a symbol of purity and beauty. In ancient times, many different tribes lived on the territory of modern Russia. They could worship different gods, engage in farming or hunting, but they all had one thing in common: a reverent attitude towards flowers. Flowers were presented to ordinary people as well as to the leaders. Each flower had a symbolic meaning and was intended for certain purposes. It was also important who gave flowers: a lover, a parent, a spouse or man looking for friendship or mutually beneficial business. Today, it is hard to imagine dating Russian women without a bouquet of fresh flowers.

Floral symbolism has almost completely disappeared nowadays. Only historians and researchers of ancient Russian culture know about it, but the tradition itself was fully preserved. These plants are extremely popular. For example, first date flowers are totally necessary if you are looking to have a good time with a Russian girl.  In Russia, flowers are given on the slightest occasion and without any. It is important to know one thing: flowers are given only in the odd number. This is an ancient custom that should not be violated.

If you suddenly give a person two or four flowers, you can anger and offend him. The fact is that an even number of flowers are used in funeral rituals. A strong association with death has only intensified over the years. A gift with an incorrect number of flowers can be interpreted as an evil intention on your part. So, keep that in mind while dating Russian girls!

There is another rule of etiquette about how to give flowers on a date which you should know about. Flowers are given with the left hand and the right should be left free for greeting. If you are going to a birthday party, flowers should be left in the room where the party is held. Don't take them to the kitchen or bathroom.
