I read an interesting article the other morning. An eye opener, really. That drink so gallantly offered on a first meet/date?May not be so gallant after all. :/ This article tells the tale of a first date and the resulting consequences of a decline for second date by the lady. Through text exchanges, we learn even though the lady's rejection was very polite....the gentleman had much difficulty accepting it. After numerous subsequent offers by him are yet again politely refused.....he then demands to be paid back for the price of the drink he bought her on their date. A measly £ 4.50 or approx. $5.00. So while this has elements of extreme cheapness, pettiness....it seems to me to be more about unmet expectations and extreme selfishness! How do you avoid such people and how do you deal with them if avoidance is not possible? Here is the link: www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3249983/Who-said-romance-dead-Woman-politely-declines-second-date-miserly-beau-demand-bank-transfer-4-50-spent-buying-drink.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490 |

Any guy hounding me over a drink would find his azz blocked. It wouldn't be about drinks, that is a person with control issues.
This is one of the reasons why mother said to pay your own way, especially in the beginning.

Good ole Daily Maelstrom.
It's bit blatantly obvious, though, he expected to get into her big girl pants for a mere £4.50. Then expect her to go to his for some Findus dinged horse meat lasagne followed by a leg over for dessert.
He is one cheeky (and tight) desperado... I'd maybe spring to a stuffed crust pizza (not even a deep fried one, but a proper one) prior to some other stuffing.
PS.. drinks are effin dear dahn saarf, ain't they? Bet that was a Wetherspoon too!!! Ye can get an entire pint o Stella in ma local for £3.60 n it's even cheaper in the city centre (ma local is a clatty wee midden tae).

This guy casts a shadow on other men. Male female relationships can be hard enough to navigate, thank goodness we all know better men.

There's no such thing as a free beer for some people. Conditional gifting. Agendas.
Which is why a girl should always buy the toilet paper .

When it's a gigantic drink like this one:
Oh I like beer, but I think I would have to pass on this one, not too mention this is not a drink at all, come to think of it.

Would rather treat ye to a 5* night out once a week than keep ye in aloe vera impregnated quadruple thick softness for yer exits. Ye should try standard practises of 3 sheets only. One up, one down n one to polish. |

My point exactly. If I buy the bog roll no one can complain. My money so I can use however much I want.

I've come to see over the years that there are actually a lot more mentally ill people on the loose than is commonly realized.
Maybe the problem is that so many humans stop developing themselves mentally after they memorize a short list of programmed responses and scheduled expectations. I don't know.
What I do know, is that BECAUSE so many people know how to perform like sane people for at least an hour at a time, it's next to impossible to scout out the nuts like this one in advance. I wish there were.
What really gets in the way for me, is that it has become a popular social idea amongst so many, that moving very fast is the way to go. Not sexually, mind you, just socially. Lots of people want to go from initial conversation to first date almost right away, and lots of people denigrate anyone who wants to talk a bit longer first, as being time wasters.
The only way one CAN avoid this kind of people, IS to take more time interacting with them BEFORE first meets. I find that people often do reveal their thinking patterns through conversation, but just not in the first few messages or chats.

Pfft. What a neophyte. He forgot to calculate how much it cost him in gas to travel to the bar.
