When you go out to dinner with a group of people...

Maybe that's just me. But I'm on the prowl.

Rowr.

xD!

I didn't even know we had that smiley.

 

[heypapajinx]

Wait, there are other people in restaurants?

I'm too busy focusing on what's on my plate to actually notice other people

FOOD FIGHT!!!
throws cheese at your head.

Rowr.

but you really think that if a guy DOES happen to see a semi young, somewhat attractive woman dining by herslef he assumes she's either given up on men or is looking for a man to hit on her?
it's not that she's just hungry?

haha
i know.
and he used it at the perfect instance.
it's so letcherous.

Well, those are the two ends of the human behavioural spectrum, aren't they? People are either looking for companionship or they've learnt to deal with being alone, right?

are you serious!?!
even if they've learned to be alone doesn't mean that they've "given up on men".
that just sounds so pessimistic.
and so what if i'm the two opposites... i govern many realms.


and i don't mind going to go eat by myself, AND drink by myself.
i especailly like it when it's a restaurant i can actually relax in.
i dont' go there hoping someone will hit on me though, nor am i thinking how sad it is that i'm alone.

 

[nosebleed.]

Hmm...I couldn't do it...I find myself way too boring to have dinner with myself in a restaurant. I can't see a movie by myself either. Maybe its different for women.

 

[Addendum]

I don't care enough to hit on women

 

[heypapajinx]

what!!??!
going to see a movie by yourself is the BEST!!:heart:
dinner is a little trickier though.
it's only uncomfortable if it's an uncomfortable environment.

 

[nosebleed.]

what!!??!

yeah? Maybe I just need to learn how to enjoy it by myself instead of with other people. My friends, bro and pops do it all the time. Maybe matinee...no way I can do it at night.

yes. matinee is the best time to go.
unless it's one of those sneak previews at midnight.
that's also a good time to go.
there are SO MANY people there just by themselves.
it's most excellent AND you get to be that person who knows all about the movie 3 days before everyone else does.

I'LL tell ya what ain't right.... a man made of sand.

 

[psychocheeseman]

Unfortunately i'm one of theose suckers that always pay more than their fair share. I like to give people a chance to pay their fair share but i always forget to force them to.
a few weeks ago i ended up on weekend away with friends, only 1 night, but somehow i ended up paying over $120 more than my fair share of the food bill alone. (everything else was paid for individually). normally this'd be like water under the bridge, except that i was the only unemployed person (full time student until i can find a new part time job) whilst the others all had disposable incomes.....


so, when you go out with friends make sure you don't go round paying for all your stingy friends, cause they never remember to pay you back

no no no, you got it all wrong...a fat beast from hell with broken horns isn't right

 

[dpm07]

In my world, I always offer to pay for my own meal. If someone decides to pay for everything (usually a host), then I will concede this to them. However, I always provide extra for tipping. Usually, I will provide approx. 20-25% of my own meal for a tip. I've bartended in the past when I was in college, and I can appreciate the effort that waitresses/bartenders go through to ensure that a proper meal is provided.

Anything less than a minimum of 15% show extreme crass and a lack of social grace. If a person gave 10% or less on a tip with me, they would never eat with me again, and I would blacklist them from any social gatherings that required a sense of dignified social etiquette.

i could respect that if you would just concede that Kroenen

is a far superior sand filled character.

 

[vibeke_T]

But then she faces two different problems:

1) Then every guy who sees her will assume she's single and looking and will therefore hit on her and attempt to pick her up. Perhaps if she's lucky she'll meet the man of her dreams, but more likely she'll just spend her lunch hour fending off advances from guys she doesn't want.

Alternatively...

2) Every guy who sees her will assume she's busy or has given up on finding a guy and has learnt to deal with her loneliness. This is a major turn-off, and in actuality her loneliness will increase.

Believe me, I'd like to see it too, but the simple fact is a lot of women go out with their friends so they don't have to feel unworthy if nobody hits on them.

I am the embodiment of #2
