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 !!!!

My ex used to like paying for everything, used to annoy me so much but it's not a bad thing, just I like to pay my own way.

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!

Of course not, that's a little different to just leaving a bank statement on a table.

Yep. I would never read someones private mail... it just seems a massive invasion of privacy and abuse of trust.

The letter was opened, but in a envelope... not that, that makes a difference. If I was at a girls house, and her bank statement was on the table... even in full view, I wouldn't read it.

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

LOL !

It was me who drank the beer but never got the dreaded 'Brewers Droop'.

On a different tack, when a chap tries to 'Pull' a girl at a disco etc etc, is the old 'Chat up line' still used like in the old days ? Things like 'What is Brazil's most famous export' ? and when the girl answers "Coffee" the chap says "Your place or mine" ? Some awful ones in those days.

I'm starting to think I'm in the minority... maybe I harshly judged the girl that read my mail.

"There are three ways you can tell a man is good in bed, 1) He is forgetful.....hang on.....I can't remember the other two". A classic and guaranteed to have a girl dripping like she's crushing a bath sponge with her thighs.

Actually, no idea really. I've only ever met women via the internet. I don't expect that's a particularly startling revelation given my somewhat autistic approach to real life social interaction.

I used to have a male who certainly didn't like paying his own way and his girlfriend used to end up buying most of the drinks.When she was in his flat and wanted to use the landline (No mobiles in those days), he used to ask her to put 10p in the jar ! They ended up getting married but I heard a long while ago that they were no longer together.

I'm not surprised they aren't.

Did she get her 10p back?

Or as an old friend (Now sadly deceased) used to say "She was as wet as an otter's pocket".

That was the name of this year's Viz Annual I believe.

He used to take all the change from that jar into a pub, lay it on the bar and buy a drink with it (On the few occasions he bought one for himself). He had a good job, was earning good money and had a lovely flat in Chislehurst.

 

Michaelawt85 Flag Bexley 15 Mar 17 2.42pm

The bank statement was in an envelope and she opened the envelope took it out, looked and put it back.. That's out of order. Still can't believe she actually admitted it. I thought it was out on the side in full view and she took a look
