Yep,
That’s why I have not bothered with the apps in all honesty.
COVID 2nd lockdown was inevitable.

Cant see me on a date till April 21. In tip top shape at the mo, let’s hope I haven’t peeked too early wink

It hasn’t be signed off yet plus you have till Thursday.

Go for it but remember it will be your last date , unless you have another one before the 5th.

If she is a sort you may want to really go for it wink

You can have her in your bubble if you live alone.
It's not like anyone takes any notice of Boris anyway

Dammit, you figured out my MO!

However, best laid plans etc - this evenings date insisted on paying for meal, drinks, the lot. It went very well. smile

I remember going on a date with a work colleague a few years ago to a smart restaurant, it all went well until the bill arrived. When I said I’d like to pay half he told me to F*** O**. So he paid. Didn’t see him again.

The experience of the bill was so traumatic that one of you immediately quit his/ her job?

hehe He was a client of mine. He carried on being a client for a year or so, but we didn’t go on any more dates.

Yep, classy guy, haha.

I would want to pay fully for the first date for sure. Even if there was no spark, I would still pay and cover everything.
fk that. I see it as a first date test; if woman in question sits there entitled at the next round that's a sign it's probably always going to be that way. I've no interest in funding the lifestyle of someone I don't know. Equality much?

I get it, it’s just me, buddy

I am the same with the girls that work for me, just generous.

At best that sounds a bit condescending, and at worst that sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen.

If a girl on a first date made zero attempt to put her hand in her purse at all she'd immediately be recategorised from "potential partner" to "hopeful one night stand and then never contact again"

I'm happy to pay but I'd want to know I'm not being seen as a free meal ticket.

I know I know, I am wrong

You want to know the second date is happening because she wants to see ‘’you’’, not because of a free meal and drink

On the second date though one would see if she genuinely offers and wants to pay to return the compliment. If she just sits there waiting for you to cough up then, yes, it wouldn’t come across too clever would it.

I know PHers are generally dubious of women's intentions, but how cynical do you have to be to think that a woman would consider it worthwhile to endure spending a couple of hours sitting opposite a man whose company is not enjoyable just for the sake of a free meal and/or drink?
