just spent 190.00 on dinner for TWO

and got a kiss on the cheek
this kind of shit doesn't happen to me. i know she likes me, but i don't know if it's worth the effort. she works with me everyday and she's just not really my type. smart, pretty, but not my type,,and i don't even have a type!!!!! but i've never just got a kiss on the cheek
oh well :sigh:
that is all

i didn't know
it was a brand new place. waitress was amazaing, food and service as well. i ordered a filet and she ordered some terriaki chicken (which wasn't on the menu and the chef had to agree to make ) i had like three galsses of wine, and she had like two. a cheesecake and some berry thing, coffe, more wine...yada yada:190 w/ tip
thing is i like her and would be willing to investigate her "type" but she seems like too much work and we work together, so it might not be a good idea.

some times those friend things can get much better, and it looks like you're on the right track with the wine. Just take her some where else next time.

sometimes the friend thing can be good. In this case, if this develops into a real friend thing her ass better pick up her half of the tab.

With tactics like this, you're sure to find a golddigger.

You (and alot of guys) need to realize that paying for dinner like this is, essentially, yuo buying sex from her. You shouldn't go about it that way. I always make her pay for whatever she gets, and then split the tip. Women respect a guy who treats them like an equal when it comes to monetary matters. If they assume you should pay, they're not worth your time - just a worthelss gold-digger.

It should have been something much less formal, and then YOU should have done the kissing first. If you think you deserved more than a peck on the cheek, take it. Women want men to take the lead. I'm betting s he would have given you alot more if you had "asked." And by asked i mean taken it further. If you ask "mind if i kiss you on the lips?" she'll kick you in the nuts and never talk to you again.

i think the whole thing is she's really really suspicious. it took a while for me to convince her that i didn't win a bet with my boys at work by her agreeing to go out with me. she's really cool, but the work thing is gonna screw it up i know

Hey, the Punisher is back! Awww riiiight!

Damn Stefan, that sucks man. 190 is a bit pricey for a friend who might not work out. Hell, 50 bucks is a little pricey for that. She didn't even OFFER to pay her half? That's kinda fucked up. Well, keep us posted on how things work out with her. Maybe we'll all be wrong and it turns out she'd be worth it

okay **ALERT**

it sounds like this girl has major self-esteem issues, if she thinks the only reason you were interested in her was because of a bet.
I would be careful, she might be more work than you want.

and just how much were you expecting to get from her? sure a kiss on the cheek isn't alot, but for her, it sounds like it was, especially if she was really concerned that she was a "bet".

By the end of the date you at least won her trust and sometimes a girls trust is the BEST thing you can get....it leads to all the other good stuff

haha lol
it wasn't filet o fish

yeah, actually she really opened up compared to work and when we've been out before. we had an awesome time. a lot of laughing and she didn't have the usual walls up. but the work thing would kill me. it took like year to get over my ex - i can't imagine what i would have done if i had to see her everyday in that same context after we broke up.
pete - i know, but shutup damnit!!!! can't i just hit it and be done

oh, and i didn't let her know how much the check was.

Cost of dinner/her paying for it is a TOTALLY sperate issue from how much you "got".

If the two of you are hitting it off, etc., you can get laid after a simple $25 dinner like Chili's. As you found out, even a $190 dinner won;t get you laid, and it shouldn't, IMO. If the dinner is too much $$$ for your taste, just don;t go there.

If anything, you fucked up by going to TOO nice a place which put her in the position of feeling she owed you some action and in effect turned her off totally from anything she might have felt.
