Disappointment and Expectation

[CiG]

I mean, I've been on dates but in here "dates" seems to be defined by paying for food.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i think every single female i know goes on dates and every single male i know does not go on dates. not sure how that works.

Dinner dates with the gal pals. Where nobody pays. Fucking thieves.

This likely belongs in the other thread, but it's like the distribution of wealth. Those who have it have a lot, and those who don't have next to nothing.

Pretty sure the top 1% of the guys date 80% of the girls, where the bottom 70% or so of guys are lucky to go on a date a year.

 

[CiG]

Never seen "lucky" and "go on a date" in the same sentence before.

Sanders's sexonomics?

Honestly I like paying for my own shit. I could get whatever I want and not have to feel bad because it's coming out of my own pocket.

I went to get tutored the other day and realized that I also start to feel weird when guys hold open every single door. I know it's something people think they should do but it feels kinda weird if I'm already in the front reaching for it.

i hold the door for anyone if they're coming through regardless of gender tbh, long as it's not an inconvenience. i wonder if any girls react like that when i do it haha

reminds me of this:

Dates are a stupid way to get to know a potential romantic interest. It forces each person to be in 'date' mode instead of just hanging. The fuck. Out.

It's kinda why I stopped dressing up for dates (unless I'm going straight from work or something). I dress how I would normally dress when not at work and it makes it less stressful and awkward for me.

-ozzman and girl go on a date-
girl: *droning on about boring shit*

I've never dressed up for a date either. I'm also not asking girls that would wear a dress to a date or going to anything fancy.

my idea of a date is hanging out on the couch watching horror movies with beer and pizza takeout, you'll barely find a 'smart' item of clothing in my wardrobe

 

[Baroque]

I dress up for dates the same way I dress up for work.

 

[Matt]

Depends on where the date is. If it's a nicer place I'm going to dress appropriately.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Like, when you take your bitch to the bar that doesn't have piss on the floor?

You basically stole the words from my fingertips.

Also, b-grade cinema dates that play old random shit, like last year myself and this lass saw John Carpenter's The Thing at like 11 PM. It was awesome.

If it's every single door like ones they could get or is already in the process of getting it feels weird when someone tries to beat you to it. Not saying to allow doors close on people's face lol. But I've got a bit of a Napoleon complex tbh.

Being in pjs is awesome. So anywhere where you could just be in pjs and chill but be on a "date" is even better

 

[CiG]

If you inconvenience someone in an attempt to make things more convenient for them, you're fucking up. Haha.
