Honestly, if I was a guy on a date with that chick (I have not seen photos, keep in mind) and someone “sent her a drink” at the middle of our outing I would be more than suspicious: I would be thinking of a counter-prank before she finished her first sip. But that’s why dates are a waste of time and money.

She’s decent looking, but from the NY Post photos, sleazy. That makes her unattractive to me.

Someone sent me a drink from another table one time that I can remember. And I have a long memory. (And he was just catfishing me, as I recall.)

Saw a similar trick in a movie where a used car salesman had a fake customer barge in to ask about the car his current customer was haggling on.

I think this would be better if the “unsolicited gifts” were puzzling: like a pie tin filled with whipped cream, a yellow marshmallow Peep sitting on a decorative Canadian flag on a plate, a turnip with a melon baller, etc.

And with a little coordination with the staff, just before you return from the restroom, you signal them, and they quickly remove whatever it was and pretend that nothing happened.

“What happened to Paris Hilton in Nicole Richie winching calves out of pregnant cows.”

I see ads for a new show with a similar idea. Takes rich “kids” (almost famous young adults??) and puts them on a working ranch for awhile.

My single buddy knows a couple of gals (yeah I said it) who use the dating sites to get free dinner four or five times a week with no intention of seeing the patsies ever again.

Unfortunately I have crossed paths with several women who pull this trick. One, a "friend" of my wife, used to brag about how much she could get a guy to spend.

There is/was some show where actors do rude/annoying stuff to see how or if other people react. One was a guy putting something into his girlfriend’s drink when she was gone to the bathroom.

Some patrons would get up and tell her and confront the guy, iirc, others just watched to see what would happen! Something like that would make an interesting test to judge the character of your date.

Of course it would also say something about my character if I resorted to trickery!

I met my wife at church. I noticed that she didn’t take any money out of the collection plate as it went by, so that was a good sign!

She’s just using crap like this to get hits. She’s monetized.....how she gets paid when she’s not on her back.

Dobie is now dead and Zelda is a lesbian.

The world is a sad place.

Social media people, especially on Tik Tok, just make things up to do a video. Not that these things dont ever have real life consequences. I know of someone that took a very minor thing and inflated it and fabricated a huge story around it to try to get views. Yup, someone saw it, someone related. Now the entire extended family is in a war and taking sides over something really in the imagination of one person.

If I wanted plastic I could have bought a blow up doll for less. Hard pass.
