Time for the continuation of my, “when to buy a girl a drink” segment. I want to remind you that I'm not saying the whole guys buying drinks is fair, but like I stated before it is the society in which we live. So I’m just trying to help you out by letting you know when it is expected of you to buy a girl a drink. Please note that these are all real life scenarios.
Scenario 3
So I’m chilling minding my own business and this guy says, “Do you drink?” And I respond, “Yes.” Then he says, “So why aren’t you drinking? Oh, you’re just sitting looking cute, huh?” And I say, “I had a drink earlier.” Then he says, “What do you like to drink? I’m sure you were sipping on a glass of wine or some pretty drink.” My response was, “I had a rum and coke.” And he was like. “Oh, rum and coke I see”. END SCENE. Now I only say end scene because at this point he starts talking about something else and I’m no longer interested in what he has to say. The ice breaker was about drinks so, umm sir….
Rule Number 3: If you are going to talk to me for ten minutes about drinking, asking me why I’m not drinking and what I drink, YOU, my friend, need to offer to buy me one!!! If you don’t want to buy me a drink there are PLENTY of other things we could talk about i.e. the weather, sports, work. Please get it together!
Scenario 4
I go to the bar to tab out so this one guys looks at me kinda crazy (in my opinion). So of course I look at him crazy and ask him if he has a problem. So he starts laughing and the conversation starts (FYI this is not a good way to get a girls attention). Anyhow, so we have this lame conversation and I should have walked away but every other sentence was about how beautiful he thought I was so I endured the rest. But, you know, enough is enough so after about ten minutes I politely tell him I need to go to coat check because I’m about to leave. So then he says, “Well what would you like to drink.” I say, “Oh, I really am about to leave, but thanks for the offer.” Well like most men he’s rather persistent so he says, “Just let me buy you one drink before you leave.” Since he insisted I said sure. I tell him I would like a rum and coke and he says, “Ok, I just want to let you know I can’t really afford it.” So I say, “EXCUSE ME!” And he says, “Really I can’t afford it, I’m broke.” And I’m like, “So, why did you offer to buy me a drink? I didn’t ask you for one. You watched me pay my tab which means I’ve already had something so I’m cool” And he says, “I just wanted to see how you would respond to me being broke.” So I say, “You being broke is your business. Please don’t buy me a drink if you can’t afford it. It’s not that serious.” And then he says, “No like I have no money at all. I can’t buy you a drink.” WTH!!!!!!!!! So of course I walk away because wth actually wtf! Then he has the nerve to say, “Oh, so you’re just going to walk away?” Yes sir I am. I don’t have time for this kind of foolishness. Are you serious!?!? No really are you serious!?!?!
Rule number 4: If you offer to buy a girl a drink YOU HAVE TO BUY IT!!!!!!
Sometimes I think someone is following me with a hidden camera. I swear. So I always look around before I react but so far no camera man has popped out. (sigh) I just don’t know!!!!

Shanel, you're always so whitty! You must have been p.o'd tonot say something back! Hahaha. You just might be on punked and not know..
ReplyDeleteListening to MOST (notice the word MOST) of your Scenarios, i would totally agree with you. If a Man offers a drink, then I think that it is fair that a women should have a drink supplied by the Man.
ReplyDeleteOnce scenario in which I disagree is, we are dancing. Why would I offer you a drink, if we are just dancing. Even If I would like the conversation to continue? More than likely, you wanted the conversation to go on also. So I ask you this, why didnt you offer him a drink?
We do live in a society when Men tend to pay for thnigs initially, but we are also living in a society in which women are totally empowered to do what ever it is that they want to do..
Also, what happens if he doesnt drink alcohol? When I didnt drink, I would always tell a lady... "I dont supply drinks that i dont consume, myself". I have no problem offerig a water.. I will even splurge and get you a Deer park..
I don't make the rules, I'm just trying to let guys know what's expected of them. In my opinion women empowerment does not equate to me paying for things initially. So, if we're dancing/conversing for an extended period of time the guy should initiate the first purchase i.e. a dirnk (in this case). I have said that I want to send a drink over to a guys table. I haven't been compelled to do so as of yet though.
ReplyDeleteUmm if a guy doesn't drink then I guess THAT rule (only the dancing one) really doesn't apply. I generally don't cook things I don't eat. But there is always an exception. If I really like you I'll cook it. So.... if you really like me you just may buy me a drink!!! :)
So if you stated that you wouldnt mind sending a drink over to a guy, why wouldnt you do it while the both of you are dancing. That is my whole point of empoowerment or aggressiveness.. Maybe, I just love a woman who dont get caught up in what a woman or man should do 1st.
ReplyDeleteNow, the whole cooking thing. You will cook something that you dont eat for someone that you are dating, not your 1st meeting..
(Just FYI, I am just playing D-advocate..)
Because I want to send it over to him like in the movies. DUH lol!
ReplyDeleteI never say what I won't do but to date I've never cook anything I don't eat for someone I was dating. I'm telling you I have to REALLY like you.
