Dinner etiquette - who is wrong?

I don’t think so. You don’t have to eat snacks at the movies. You are expected to eat and drink at a restaurant.

That depends greatly. Either $1-2k/person/hour or up to $30k/person/hour. I’ve seen guys score takeout for free, but I’ve seen a $180k donation when it involved a famous Japanese adult actress.

I’m not sure but they are usually breakfast joints, however they open from evenings like 6 or 7pm then close 12pm or so the next day.

I don’t think you are expected to drink at a restaurant.

He blew his chances of getting laid, but aside from that, it wasn’t the worst act of self imploding dick baggery. The ‘I’m kinda generous and kinda not,’ tightrope is a hard one to traverse in life. Be publicly generous. Go home and slag them off after. It’s the British way!

I love how the op @jimbob132 has pretty much just ghosted - I am curious as to the final outcome.

Hopefully the situation has been salvaged now by taking the entire family to the IKEA restaurant, 100% his treat.

that’s what she said!

Based on the track record from previous posts, I’m guessing the hope for no further drama didn’t pan out.

Jesus, I’m not surprised! Poor fella. I’m guessing he felt a bit bad to even post here in the first place. One to put down to experience, I guess.

Perhaps he should take a leaf out of Dave Chappelle’s book!

Maybe we need a “my worst dating screwups” thread to make him feel better?

he does that, still one of my favourite posters. i kinda respect that once he gets what he needs from us he doesn’t waste time with the back-and-forth. ikea meatballs for the win!

Ate a weed cookie an hour before a first date. My date was complaining that her potato was ‘watery’ when we went out to dine (wtf?) and I just couldn’t stop laughing at her. Watery potato!

Doesn’t hafta be alcohol. A coke will cost you too.

That just sounds like a good time.

I love how everyone here is such a busy body… he’s got a little more push back because he’s got more money than most on here. A little envy… me thinks…

If it wasn’t him, there’s no way this thread would have had so much feedback.

Tap water, nada.

Invited to dinner and they’ll order tap water?

I look back on it fondly. However, the date ended without any kind of sexy business. There was no second date. Some guy somewhere is now listening to her potato complaints.

Dude. That is already epic. Any Sexy Time would’ve been disappointing compared to the potato.

She’s a keeper!
