The morning after you meet you arrange to send flowers on day two or three after your meeting. Keep the message simple. "I enjoyed getting to know you." Something like that. Avoid roses. They say way too much. Just something cheery and colorful like a spring mix. Ask them to put one exotic blossom in the mix, and make sure it stands out. You'll use that later when you talk to her, so make sure the florist tells you what flower they're going to use and what color. After they tell you, run over to the computer and look it up so you have some idea of what it is.
Now it's up to her to call you to thank you. She has the illusion that she's back in control of the situation and that's nothing but good at this point.
Don't mention the single exotic flower on the phone unless she brings it up.
You want to talk about how you requested that particularly unique flower because she's such a unique person. You wanted to include one flower that would stand out from the rest, because she stands out as a very special person. But you want to have that conversation in person the second time you get together rather than over the phone. Look away from her eyes as you're telling her, but look into them after and wait for a physical and verbal response.
Trust me. I'm the son of a florist. Those things can be powerful tools, but only if you know how to use them.
