my date walked away (342)
SUNSHINEB0Y: sorry but it did seem like you were disagreeing with all of us who said it was a foreseeably silly situation to get involved in, and if it hadn't rankled in the mind of the op, the thread wouldn't be here, I think it was rohaan who said it best, inebriated peeps are often capable of saying and doing things that they would possibly not do if they were sober (and I am talking from experience)perhaps the coat lady didn't feel great about the whole thing the next day either, but from the way the grumbling was described it defo would have escalated if the man had interfered.
Live and learn, the fact is....we don't live in an ideal world.
when there is something worth fighting over is the time to be counted.

I didn't take as she was disagreeing with me.Just like the rest of us she was stating her own opinion.

mindfful: what if i was?
disagreeing?
with all of 'us'???oh well
by the way i wasnt necessarily disagreeing and also-
no one can say for definite what would have happened "if" so you can give that theory a rest.
im allowed to not agree or present another side- which is in fact what i did
and if you take a real look at what i said was 'we arent perfect-and we dont live in an ideal world'...
quite similar in fact to one of your pointsfunny to say what is worth fighting for and yet snipe over scraps on a forum

Or fighting over something stupid on here.From what I've seen on here it's like if you voice a different opinion about something you're disagreeing.
I think it would be awfully boring if we all agreed all the time with someone.It's part of life to disagree.

carenza: so,
here is something new to put down to experience.
I had a date last thursday. In my city, shops are open untill 2100 pm on thursday.
I had a date, first time, guy I met in real life.
we went for something to eat in the city.
it was crowded and I had a few words with a woman about a seat in the restaurant.
she became very ugly towards me....I shall spare you details but in short, I told her to get lost and turned my back at her and her friends. the rest of our time in the restaurant, she kept attacking me verbally........and what did my date do?
sat quietly, ate his meal with the speed of light, kissed farewell and walked away.
texting me he had a nice evening out but was not interested.
the knight had rusty armour and his horse was terminal I guess.
what a bummer.....not even one word to stand up for me...
I wonder if there is any hope left...

I am sorry , first impressions last the longest.
If I am embarrast by what another person does or says in a public place , Id walk too especially on the first date!
That he didn't stand up for you, well it look likes you had everything under control, however that he didn't step in - well then he was not worth your while if you have to fight your own battles.
I've read the forum, this was all over a chair that belonged to your table and the girl had an issue with it!
first the waiter should of solved that whole thing for you, second I would not of sat there if that girl made a prob.
sounds like this date was not ment to be from which ever angle you look at it.
I feel bad for ya.

Swissblueeyes: Sorry to hear your date was such a coward..One thing I know about "some" men, not all of them is, when a relationship is new they are kind of scared a little about getting their feet into the water, so you need to be a little cautious about things, especially first impressions and first dates.
Im not saying it is your fault at all, obviously it was unfortunate that those ladies were so mean to cause this drama and make you react..If I had been in that situation, I most likely would have either asked him if we could go some place else or wait a little longer untill those ladies calmed down and then had dinner..My guess is he was watching your reaction towards those nasty ladies and he wasnt ready for that so soon.
It is easier for us to lose our cool but on a first date, most men are watching our every move..I learned this several years ago when I found this Paige Parker dating advise..It also tells us not to drink more than one drink or two on a first date because a lot of men will assume were booze hags if we drink too much on a first date..Try looking for Paige Parkers dating advise for women..She sends weekly articles that help with dating in todays world...Just type in Google her name and it will show a web site to get signed up..

I already sent her the site details a while back when she had those men making comments on the too much/ too little makeup and talking threads.
Nice to meet another subscriber.

And for all of you know it alls who do not live in Holland and say the wait staff will always take care of you. Pulease.
Fact: waiters hardly ever get tipped in this country.
People will round the bill up to the nearest euro (or 5 euros if they're feeling especially non-Dutch) when they pay. See, waiters don't have to live off of their tips in this country like in many other ones.
Therefore, there is less incentive for going the extra mile to serve customers. You get your paycheck either way.
Many restaurants are set up in a way that you just walk in and seat yourself... even the mid to upper-mid-range priced ones. It saves on waitstaff responsibilities... so it's cheaper overhead.

I think I would have suggested eating somewhere else instead of getting involved with the chair issue.

As it'll be a week tomorrow since this happened. I reckon you should txt the bloke who walked away and ask him for a possible re-enactment
Version 2 of the story of "Carenza, the wussy bloke and the evil woman with her own personal chair full of coats"
A bit like CS version of "Lion, witch plus wardrobe"
Mind you, shame she never had a wardrobe then you could have shoved coats into it along with her

Excellent. Top Shelf comment. Thank you. I'll be brief--from the writer Frances Willard:"The world is wide and I will not waste my life in friction when it could be turned into momentum". I wholeheartedly agree that there are ideals worth standing up and fighting for. A drunken sot and a chair are NOT in that category.

SUNSHINEB0Y: the lady in question being intoxicated and grumbleing away through the meal shows an attitude that had taken the whole issue of ownership of an inanimate object that, by the way belonged to the restaurant not the table, totaly out of all reasonable context shows that it could very easily have escalated into a drama as far as I'm concerned.
I don't give two hoots whether you agree with me or anyone else, it's not important in this time or world and for that matter you can disagree all you like too for all I care, as for sniping well...I've been honest about my opinions on the thread topic and you accusing me of "sniping" is showing exactly the way these things go. I don't know if you've been drinking or not but........

..It also tells us not to drink more than one drink or two on a first date because a lot of men will assume were booze hags if we drink too much on a first date../quote]
I disagree with this. If you like to drink, then show it during your first date. What's the use of hiding your nature at the beginning? Be yourself straight on. If you didn't do it, you could later be a disappointment to your date when he/she revealed your masquerades.

vyoleta: If you ask me to be honest about this, I'd say - if that is all he wants from me and all I want from him, then why not say it right away? But... if that is all he wants and isn't all I want from him, I would consider him a very nice and frank if he said it right away.
Just my opinion.
Because happiness is found along the way, not just at the end of the road. Because it may only be hot air in an automobile tire, but it makes the ride smoother. Why take a bath when you're just going to get dirty again? Why pick up the clutter around the house when it's just going to pile up again? Why plant a garden when flowers only last the summer? Why get up in the morning when you're just going to go to bed again at night? Why eat, you'll just get hungry again. Why get a haircut, it'll just grow back! IN FACT--why get mixed up with anyone at all, anyway, when YOU CAN JUST DO IT YOURSELF? get the gist of what I'm trying to say here?Just my opinion.
