First Date ( Archived) (211)

Ken_19: Someone pointed this thread out to me. It sound fake, like someone trying to establish a narrative they can point to if or when someone who knows both parties approaches them about a totally negative report from the woman in question. The writer could then say;

'Oh no, I put up a thread about why I only had the one date with her and posted it the very same night, look, here it in CS. See, it isn't that I made rude comments or offered obscene suggestions during dinner, it was because she just wanted my money, so I walked away. How dare she say I touched her inappropriately. That's just andger because her scheme didn't work.'

So we pulled up online the Norrthport, Albama area, We learned all the good ones (in like a 70 mile radii) also had online websites with menus and prices and reviews. Looking we couldn't find a single one that charged more than $13 for a single glass of wine. In most cases a glass of House wine was about $6. More expensive wines are sold by the bottle, not the glass. Meal menus were pulled. If my memory of last night is correct the most expensive meal we found (in Mobile) was one places Porterhouse combo for about $70. I guess we supposed to believe she ate 2 of those (huge) steak dinners (that come with salad and side veggies included) and had multiple deserts on top of that?

In real life, with varying experiences, over the past decade I have had several 1st dates (and a few 2nd and 3rd) dates with women I have met online. Always the meet and greet in a public place, a cup of coffee or a McD burger, swap driver's licenses to confirm the name is what you were told, then talk and go on from there.

But yes, if you already know who it is, someone known from work or a convention or seminar, I have done those dates too. 1st date straight to Red Lobster or Chili's (RIP Chili's), and I have yet to have one of those break $140 for both of us. Okay, one time, multiple decades ago when my money came in fast and it still flew I took a 1st date to Paris on the SST (it wasn't bad, there was a price war, $125 a ticket) and we ate in sight of the Eiffel Tower and spent the night at a friend's apartment. Great date. She is still a friend. Cost $800, bur I I was young and I could afford it then.

There is of course a 3rd option. Everything is a fantasy Forum post. If is true there is a whole lot missing from the complaint. Let us see, you paid for her wine (bottle) and her 2 entree meals and the desert. Then you amicably paid for her taxi. In response she called you a cheap person? You left something out obviously. Exactly what was it you were being cheap about? Did you refuse to allow her an additional desert? Did you make her leave the tip? Please fill in the missing action on your part that was so offensive she started calling you names.
