Years ago I was dating a pretty girl who was part American Indian but she was full into Indian culture. After our first date to Outback where I paid I next asked her to a place that was a little cheaper and she was MAD. I was going to pay the whole ticket of course but found out Shoney’s was just beneath her. So the second date didn’t happen. I think I dodged a bullet on that one. She could have just recommended another place instead of acting like she had been insulted.
Did she have a dream-catcher hanging from her rear-view mirror?
Why wasn’t she insulted by Outback?
She was already insulted by Outback.....
Yup. A woman who won’t go to Shoneys with you is a woman you don’t want to go anywhere with.
When I was in college I went on a second date with a guy and it just happened to be Valentine’s Day. This was my first ‘Valentines’ date , so I was pretty excited. To my dismay, he had not made reservations anywhere so we drove around looking for a place that we could get in. We finally ended up at this cheap Chinese place and had to wait an hour. When the check came I can still see it now- he SLID it across the table and said ‘ I guess it’s your turn. I slid it right back with a look that I’m surprised didn’t kill him on the spot. Let’s just say not only did he pay, but there was no third date.
My husband had a novel way of dating, we went to cheap places in the beginning and more expensive places as we got more serious. I guess it was his way of finding out up front if I was interested in a pricey date or him.
I didn’t even think about it at the time it was happening, just enjoyed spending time with him and didn’t care where we went.
I guess his way the women like you had that experience with were eliminated right off the bat without it costing so much.
I didn’t know women like that existed until my brother brought one on a double date with us one time. He told her where we were going when he asked her out- it was a well known (in that area) cowboy steak house, with a rodeo arena, bar with country music and dancing. It was not a cheap place to go for dinner but definitely country. My brother’s date wore silk slacks, then complained right after she sat down that the wooden seats were damaging her pants. That was only the first of a long line of complaints. Nothing there suited that woman, nothing. She didn’t even attempt conversation with any of us...just an endless stream of complaints. Even though she knew where they were going and still went she was convinced the place was far beneath her. I think she agreed to go on a date with my brother only because he was (still is) a very successful businessman. Why she would go and then complain all night I never have figured out. We still tease him about her craziness.
At least you saved your scalp by not offering to stop at 7-11 to pick up a loaf of bread, package of lunch-meat and jar of mayonnaise...........
You dated Liz Warren?
