Went on a blind date on Saturday (set up by a colleague at work) and we had a perfectly nice evening, but..........

The questions are -

a)if you got to 30mins before end of date and she suddenly pronounces she's already seeing someone - would you be pissed off?
(my colleague knew she was seeing someone, although it's 'nothing serious'!)

b)if you paid for all drinks etc and she didn't offer to buy a drink at all, would that also piss you off.

Now, it's 50/50 in the office that she did not do anything wrong regards drinks issue (I wouldn't have allowed her to buy a drink anyway, but was expecting her to offer alls the same).

What do you think?

a) I'm guessing she's using this to try and let you down gentley

b) She shoudl have at least offered to buy you a drink and if it was me I would have let her

all MHO of course

The Zohan 16 September 2002 07:57 PM

IMHO

I think she's not interested matey, no offence.

30 mins beofre the date announces she's already seeing someone - she does not fancy you.

Lets you buy all the drinks - was talked into a blind date by someone, gave in then thought sod it he can pay.

Bitter and Twisted - Moi?, No (not much) ;)

Don't get upset at her - fair play to her for going along.

Take any frustrations out on the work colleague when you both sneak out the back for a ciggie and give him a slap from me too!

drumsterphil 16 September 2002 08:11 PM

Oh yeah, she also took the piss out of the spoiler on the back of my RB5!!

It was a spirited drive on the way back to her house to drop her off! hehe ;)

MATTeL 16 September 2002 08:17 PM

She should have offered to buy a drink, it is only polite.

Find out who she is seeing and then tell him/her she is seeing other people! ;) (Evil moi?;))

What is wrong with the spoiler on an RB5?:confused: She obviouly never saw the one on an MY01!:D

(Before the flames start I have an MY01 and it is my personal opinion it looks like a squashed butterfly!)

Clarebabes 16 September 2002 08:25 PM

Perhaps you should have let her drive it. I'm sure she would have fallen in love with it. You may have been unnecessary baggage, but you'd probably have got a shag out of it! :D

Seriously though, it should have been clear from the start. The drinks thing is a difficult one. I would have offered, but I'm old and wise. I also don't like to take the pi$$. How old is this lady?

drumsterphil 16 September 2002 08:29 PM

ROFLLMAO @ Clarebabes!!

DP. :D

drumsterphil 16 September 2002 08:31 PM

She was 23 btw!

Let her drive my beloved Scoob - are you being serious??!!;):D

DP.


Clarebabes 16 September 2002 08:35 PM

Well, at that age I may have let a guy buy me drinks all night, no problem. :D

Now however, maybe not.

Clarebabes 16 September 2002 08:37 PM

Especially coz I was a student!

I have a boyfriend who lets me drive the Scoob. It's sold now, so will have to wait for the Porsche :D

mj 16 September 2002 08:39 PM

In those circs I would have taken the Sid the Sexist approach and tried for the last minute-if all else fails-there's no harm in asking- bag empty , what do you have to loose apart from your man fat?

drumsterphil 16 September 2002 08:44 PM

Stop the press people - she's just sent me a txt msg saying she had a great time on Saturday!!

Woman!! - WTF (apologies Clarebabe!)

DP.

drumsterphil 16 September 2002 08:58 PM

I sent her a reply saying that I had a good time too, and did she want to do it again.

She's just replied that she does. Am I being a sucker?

DP. (oops I forgot my wallet)

TopBanana 16 September 2002 08:58 PM

Cut her loose or you could end up being the 'nothing serious' guy text time round

Clarebabes 16 September 2002 08:59 PM

I know, we're a fickle bunch. We have lots of hormones to contend with and men who don't understand us. :rolleyes:

Why do you think we're crazy mixed up kids?

robby 16 September 2002 09:04 PM

hey by doing it again doesn't make you a sucker but she might be :-))
maybe shes dumped her boyfriend and shes free now

drumsterphil 16 September 2002 09:20 PM

Perhaps she's been thinking about the size of my spoiler! haha ;)


RaZe-=Buzz=- 16 September 2002 09:25 PM

Oh God.... Wants to do it again? What, let you pay for everything? I want to do it TOO!! When are you picking me up ? :p

Line from Evil Dead 3 fits here :D

paulr 16 September 2002 09:31 PM


A.Yes i would have been pi$$ed off, especially if i'd been led to believe she was "available" (for want of a better word)

B.On a first date,if i liked her,i wouldnt care to be honest:)

Clarebabes 16 September 2002 09:37 PM

Paul, what a sweetie :D

bug-eyed wonder 16 September 2002 09:39 PM

Take her out again and if ya don't get a shag then leave well alone! ;)

Clarebabes 16 September 2002 09:40 PM

Is that your philosophy BEW?

drumsterphil 16 September 2002 09:43 PM

Ok!

Suggestions for a second date required!

DP.

bug-eyed wonder 16 September 2002 09:49 PM

Yes CB ! ;)

Clarebabes 16 September 2002 10:04 PM

Phil, make her pay! :D

drumsterphil 16 September 2002 10:10 PM

Anything other than that is not an option!! :D


drumsterphil 16 September 2002 10:16 PM

Raze Buzz - Somehow I don't think you're my type! No offence bud!

(BTW - let's cut to the chase...........this girl has a body to die for, hehe)
