I would wonder why he left it on the table and have a quick look. Obviously I wouldn't go snooping around draws looking though.

You'd just have less drink. That's a good thing on a first date because there are quite a lot of rapists on dating websites.

For once...shock horror I agree with Willo.
I always pay for the meal,if you carry on seeing each other, then yes it wouldn't hurt for the woman to pay once in a while,but with me it's not an issue,drinks another matter,she can buy a round.

 


always a Norwood boy, where ever I live.

I don't drink at all, so I always made the woman put 70% of the money into the kitty.

Clearly girls you have courted have never asked for this drink.
I've also had girls ask for a "Rum and Black" and a "Dubonnet" etc - cannot recall any asking for a pint of beer.

I always thought it was nice for a woman to offer to pay, although I always fully intended to pay the full bill. I got dragged to a posh restaurant once by a girl who was way out of my league (i.e.: both her eyes were working) and she rinsed me for a big meal and didn't offer to pay a penny. Then faked her own death to avoid a second date. Anyway, now I know I was taken for a bit of a ride, but the warning sign was there when she didn't even give me the option to decline an offer to chip in.

Nah, I have one coke which I make last all night in case the woman takes money back out the hat while I'm weeing.

Am I the only one who thinks reading someone else's mail is horrible thing to do?
I'm starting to think I'm in the minority... maybe I harshly judged the girl that read my mail.

Paying is a hard habit to break. I still feel slightly emasculated when my wife pays for stuff, and she's either using a card on my credit card account, or her own debit card on our joint account

If your date asks for a beer you better do a quick check for a frontal bulge before showing her your bedroom ceiling.

I agree it isn't nice but if somethings in front of you then the majority of people will have a look.

Indeed I have seen young ladies buy their partner a drink at a bar which is very alien to me.

In my day it was just the 'Done thing' that the male bought the drinks. If you took a girl to a cocktail bar this could work out quite expensive but then you went there knowing it would hit you in the pocket.

All very different these days generally - I have seen couples out and they are on their phones not even talking to one another ! Probably texting each other !!!!

Absolutely not just you - I'm afraid the fledgling relationship would not make it out of the nest for me if I caught someone doing that. Just a total lack of respect, and the "you shouldn't have left it lying around" argument doesn't wash - if I left my wallet lying around, would you have carte blanch to help yourself?

No, I'd be worried I'd wake up with my trousers missing!

It's true, I am extremely sensitive to caffeine and have been known to take my clothes off.
