tigra 0 #151 July 29, 2009 There is nothing undignified about accepting a dinner invitation. Its kind of sad that you think there is. And there is a huge difference between going on a "date" and expecting a man to support you or buy things for you "just because". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
normiss 846 #152 July 29, 2009 I am constantly amazed, confused, surprised, and disappointed how easy it is to misinterpret meaning based solely on a textual delivery of thought. The interwebs is tough bitches! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Misternatural 0 #153 July 29, 2009 >Maybe in skydiving you need to be an instructor. I get what you mean...But for some reason when it comes to dating and skydiving- I now like to keep them separate, something about the drama I have seen involving the closeness of the networking and such...just seems like a bad idea to mix the two. Kind of like beer and whiskey.Ski areas are huge and there are lots of them- DZ's, not so much. wear out your welcome at one- then whatchu gonna do?on the other hand i have seen some marriages result from mixing the two but it's frikkin risky as hell. I say keep the risk to the freefall...that's what I am there for. Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires. D S #3.1415 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davjohns 1 #154 July 29, 2009 A couple of the women (and men) might not like this. I always pay. If it is a group, I usually pick that up as well. I make good money and really feel uncomfortable with the whole question of how to split things. I'd rather pick up everything and avoid that issue. I haven't been on a date in over 16 years, so I'm probably out of date on the 'rules' everyone else seems to know. I just know that I would be very uncomfortable talking about how to pay for things on a date. I just pay. If the lady had a child(ren), I would plan something that included everyone. Just me.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
