just been and had some breakfast with her now, and dropped her back off at the hospital. she's got to have her leg checked out, she walked 14 miles round the ward yesterday in a 12 hour shift, and her knee has swollen right up! … I will be picking her up afterwards.

Buy her a pair of walking boots for walk, it`ll increase your chances of a bunk up tonight tenfold !

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

That’s the best story in this thread
 
I have to say, given the empowerment of women and equality between women and men nowadays, no longer will I be offering to pick up the bill on future first dates. Too many times (well, about three times tbf) have I enjoyed a pleasant evening with the fine specimen opposite me also seemingly enjoying herself, picked up the tab to be a gentleman, and never heard from freeloading get again after saying our goodbyes.

No, it's 50/50 from now on, and if they aren't up for that they aren't worth pursuing anyway. Happy to pick up the tab for future dates, but a first date shouldn't be about the woman having fine food and drink lavished upon her from the guy she's seeing just because that was the norm about 50 years ago.

I think she’s more likely to be sharing a pot noodle and a bottle of Frostys in Franks parents spare room tbh.

Two for one in Happy Hour mate. Only problem is she'll need to get off work at 3pm to make it.

Good grief, I think this might be the first time I have ever agreed with you on anything, and in the dating thread no less lol
