Seems a bit fishy she would go on a date straight after working at 9pm to get off early as she is up at about 3.30am.

This is Frank, he has turned up drunk slurring his words and talking about marriage and love while she is nodding her head to what he says while thinking " This man is crazy, i will tell him on an a early shift "

A date that has lasted less than 90 mins is not a good sign.

It's a bit mad alright.

I know a lot of nurses so i was being kind and positive for him but you do make some good points haha!

Me neither. Happily married. Took the chance of laying out some pub ground rules early doors (wouldn't get away with it now - old dog new tricks etc).
1. Pubs are (mainly) for beer. Wine and can't other bottled drinks taste the same and are cheaper at home. Take the choice.
2. Turns are taken at the bar (days if equality etc)
3. I ain't buying half pints meaning I have to go up and queue twice for every pint of mine, just so you can look all ladylike.

This has worked well. From my observations, the main difference between men and women at a bar is the word "and"

Men: "I'll have a beer please."

Women: "I'll have rum and coke"
Gin and tonic
Lemon and lime
White wine and lemonade
Floater coffee and sprinkles*
Gin and tonic and ice
Gin and tonic and ice and lemon
Gin and tonic and lemon

Need a freaking notepad!

*takes ages and is always requested by the person in front if a massive queue. GO TO A CAFE.

I'll have a pint of Beer please: £3-4

Vegan Ottsworld Gin with snuzzleberries and paramfruits sprinkled with fresh lemon grass in a fancy oversized glass = £12

Seriously though, I'll get the first 2 maybe 3 rounds in, but it's when they don't even offer - tends to ruin my mood.

Worst one I had said do you want me to get the next ones? i said sure - "I'll sit out this round"

Nailed.
It's not that the fancy drinks are worth it, its the exploitation by the pub industry knowing full well that the bloke will have to shell out to 'impress' her. Some if the women wouldn't know of your sacrifice unless they ever buy a round themselves.

This isn't just down to gender though. After staff football we'd go to a pub to make a thirst. A non-drinker would always come with us, always have a soft drink (again ££££ exploitation) and because he never bought a round he didn't know the cost (I mean why would he, he just assumed soft drinks were mere pennies - no alcohol no duty etc).

After a year or do of doing this he had totted up his mental costs and eventually offered a round. We ALL ordered pints of coke. He came back from the bar really ashen faced lol

haha

What about being in rounds with 6/7 lads, somewhere is £2.80 a pint, go somewhere next door, it's your round, this place is £4.50 a pint.

That's why I'll always suggest a kitty.

Which us the sensible thing to do (other than stay in the cheap pub, if the beers good). So why does one sometimes feel like a social pariah when suggesting it? It's as though the flock has been somehow brainwashed that spending money makes you look bigger and better!
