Say your boyfriend/date brings you a bouquet of flowers on a dinner date. If you had the option of leaving the bouquet of flowers in the car or bringing it into the restaurant, what would you rather do and why?

This happened to me recently and I regretted not bringing the beautiful bouquet of flowers he brought me into the restaurant for photo-ops. I didn't want to disturb people around me with it but it turned out that the casual-fine dining restaurant was pretty empty that day.

Given the situation again (which I hope it does happen again for me!), what would be the best way to go about this? Is it appropriate to bring it into the restaurant?
