Many put all the blame of the dinner whore situation on men. Every dinner whore situation I’ve been in was been manipulated by my date (woman) into it. But now I’ve learnt the tell-tale signs. Every time I met a dinner whore and planned the first date, first off, she will insist having the date in the evening. To provoke you, she will also send pictures of her (a bit more revealing – cleavage, thighs etc., ). It doesn’t matter what you do do set the date to afternoon or coffee, she will push it to the evening by giving some excuses. It took me 3-5 times of scamming to identify this pattern.
During the date, they will be reserved at first, won’t get casual or close, but soon they will be cheering about everything you say. Very less contracdiction. They will also insisit if you’re spending too much time on the cocktail, that you rather get to the dinner part quick or make a reservation. Some of these women even will set tell you to pick a certain restaurant they like and reserve for dinner. All these are signs that the man is going to absolutely lose 100’s of dollars on a single evening dinner.
The lesson is that if anyone has such behavior just stay away. Take a chance on a cocktail date, but that is it.
Having dinner on a first date, is not what real dates are about. Until two people can get closer to each other in 2 or 3 dates, there is no point in having a dinner date.

I went to the grocery store last night – Monday – which apparently is childless couples’ night. I have never seen that many hand-holding, newlyweds/lovers, kissing and groping in the aisles. Every time I turned into another aisle there was another couple selecting their items – together. I was truly horrified.

I once read a wedding announcement that related the story of how the couple met in the produce aisle at the local Fred Meyers. Until then, I thought the grocery store hook-up was an urban legend.

I rarely let a man pick up the whole tab on the first meet. At that point I would rather pay for my own dinner, coffee, groceries, hiking fee…whatever

I actually enjoy shopping for food…and when a guy tries to flirt with me in the market I kinda think “ewww…you’ve read this in a book haven’t you….?” NOW I know he has read it here!

just kidding…well…sorta….

A radio station actually sponsored one of those “minute dating” thingies at a local supermarket in my town. The store was notorious for being the hot pick-up spot, so a local radio station used the reputation to their advantage?

I’m either lookin’ way nast in the grocery, or trying to wrangle my very upset 22-month-old after a long day of work/daycare. Not really a practical pick-up spot for me. Although I once met a guy in line who ended up giving me a whole bunch of free Diet Coke coupons. He worked for Coke or something. Weird, but nice surprise.

I am all about window shopping at Target and Whole Foods for those sexy N.Dallas females. Target has several diverse areas that equate to equally diverse women.

As for the dinner whores…I am just old fashion and prefer to pay and even open the door…guess I am a sucker for pain.

You forgot the Laundry Mat – I picked up a guy there once…

And, like Lance – never actually had success in the grocery store, but I couldn’t live without my grocery store eye candy!
