Sex-for-pay (cash or merchandise) quid-pro-quo is call something something other than "feminine energy" in the mid-West.
The proper response to her blackmail is to reply, "No, I don't even want to be friends with you. I already have too many trashy, manipulative people in my life."
In the interest of full-disclosure: I did pay for Mrs ERJ's portion of the tab on our first date. It was $1.47. She ordered a Tostada Conqueste and an ice-water.
ReplyDeleteI told her that I could afford to buy her more food but she responded "This is how I eat. I just don't feel good when I over-eat."
She was there for our conversation and not to get a full doggie-bag to take home.
If the guy doesn't pay the whole tab, is it really a date?

+1 I would have paid, claimed I had an early flight and just wrote the whole thing off as experience.
DeleteI will say, one of the tell-tale signs of the current thing, is the invention, inversion, and mis-application of language. Its very deliberate, to erase old definitions and replace them with new ones. Birthing person, vaccine, mostly peaceful, these aren't accidents of language in a society.
ReplyDeleteOnce again, grateful that I do not have to navigate the treacherous shoals of what has become modern dating. Talk about the opportunity for a million things to go wrong...
ReplyDeleteDoes she provide the bag?
ReplyDeleteMy first social activity with my wife was as a group of college friends going to a movie. The theater only took cash, and all she had was her checkbook. I covered her ticket. She insisted on paying me back, and had to ask my name to fill out the check. I got her home address and phone number from the check. When we went on our first 'real' date (dinner, movie, and a cruise past the Ice Palace), I paid for everything.
ReplyDeleteSnort... yeah, right... hooker, one each.
ReplyDelete"Oh, I'm so sorry. I thought you would wanted to be treated equally."

"I didn't realize you were a whore. How much for the whole night?"
Give her go for the price of half a dinner and a few drinks? Sure, I’m game.
ReplyDeleteGlad I'm not a young guy. I'd probably end up being a monk. --ken
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in KIev in the early 2000's my work buds and I would see older men with much younger women. A local told us the women were hookers who would accept gifts of high value from the men. Prostitution was illegal but gift acceptance was not.
