Male answering.
I've never given a gift on a first date other than a single rose. I definitely pay for the whole date, and would probably be taken aback if a date insisted on splitting a bill. And that's only because it'd be ruining my chance to give myself a much needed ego boost to keep the nerves in check on a first date.
On the second date, however, I'm for sure okay with splitting a bill. I'll actually be very impressed by such an independent woman that doesn't need to be provided for.
When is it appropriate for gifts? I dunno, Christmas and Birthdays? Flowers are usually appropriate at any time because they just die within a week or two. I much rather spend my money on activities for dates than materialistic momentos.
