Topic	Where do you go to avoid "the man always pay for a date!"?
NatsuSama 07/24/23 6:36:17 PM #38:	ai123 posted... Why even make that assumption? I don't tend to worry about these things: if they are only doing it for the dinner, it will be evident soon enough. Maybe the dinner and the chat was enough for me too? You are making the assumption for me by demanding free shit if you are asked to hang out at a restaurant. ai123 posted... If I ask someone to do me the favour of coming to dinner with me, I don't expect them to pay. This doesn't just apply to dates. It also applies to business acquaintances, friends and family. If I ask you to hang out with me, don't say yes if the only way and reason you can grace me with your presence is with free things. ai123 posted... Asking someone to do something with you, and then expecting them to stump up the cash seems . . . almost rude. Certainly ungenerous. I have that exact opinion to anyone expecting to be compensated because someone asked to hang out with them. If a person deliberately offers to pay upfront for someone else's company that is certainly someone's prerogative that I'm not against. That said, I'd also call any family or friends or stranger who expects you to pay for their meal because they graced me with their presence to be ungenerous. It tells me the only way they can grace me with their presence if they can get something free out of me which says a lot where I stand to them. Unless the party volunteers upfront, I don't ever show up to hang out with friends and family or even strangers thinking I'm getting free things or that them asking means they have some moral obligation to pay for my shit. --- WAAAH, I CAN'T BEAT THIS GUY WITH HIS TACTICS, I'M GONNA CALL IT SPAM AND CONDEMN HIM FOR USING IT <cite>NatsuSama posted [p:975042669] in Where do y...
