  • Iggy called it. Why complicate matters with a lie? You helped some drunken lady friends of yours out and didn't take advantage of them, but acted like a proper gentleman. She'll eat that shit up, as it makes you stand out from the rest of the guys she deals with ("Wow! He's so nice! And he has girls that hang with him - he must have SOMETHING going on!").

    Of course, you can always take a few lessons from...

    • We're fine! We've been texting back and forth here and there since then - she wanted to come see me at tonight's open mic but still has to vote and is coming down with a cold. I told her not to worry about it, do her civic duty and get better and we'd catch up when she's back in the game. She still promised to come to my grad show regardless of how she feels.

        Was it because I fucked up the apostrophe in "don't"?

          • Besides, I wasn't implying that he should complicate things with a lie. Just say, "I was helping out some friends" and leave it at that. I think Iggy and Tim are giving a lot of girls the benefit of the doubt in both of your posts. Trust me - there are a lot of girls on this planet who would not understand or be cool once they find out, "He blew me off so he could hang out with a pack of drunk girls" - which is not the case, but it is exactly where a lot of their minds will go. That's just my two cents, but I've seen plenty of girls fly off the handle over something totally innocent. If she asks "male or female friend", for whatever reason, then clarify. But especially before a first date, no, I wouldn't offer up that info willingly. I keep saying over and over, "There's a reason I don't have a lot of female friends", and the women at this board are extremely cool. But going by a lot of girls I see every day, they're much tougher on guys in the real world.

            • Valid point, Lisa, and my apologies if I was out of line re: not mentioning his friends were female, as re-reading your post I see where I erred.

              As for giving the girl Jake's talking to the benefit of the doubt, why not? I figured I'd be a bit more optimistic this time out, to match Jake's sudden luck with the ladies, most of whom he's never shared any major issues or problems with, except one.

              I will grant you that, yes absolutely, some girls might get in a snit that Jake's hanging with friends who are girls (knew a few of those back when I was single). A very legitimate concern. Then again, Jake's made no promises, and isn't even in a relationship or "sealed the deal" with this girl yet. They're just friends at this point, and I'm sure Jake isn't put out if this girl has several guy friends. Neither one of 'em is staking a claim or laying down the law... yet.

              • Naw, I getcha. I just always figure, don't offer up any info that's not really her business before the first date. It's not lying, it's just keeping your trap shut.

                    No-uh! Troof be told, I hadn't even noticed that. It's because, like you, I do not have a generally high opin ion of the reasoning capacity of many females, and I figure the likelihood of her being vainglorious enough to get offended at being back seated for a GUY was pretty high.

                      Those are womens' underwear, you know. My wife laughed for 5 solid minutes when she 1st saw me in this get up.

                      And in keeping with my newfound sense of meeting-BDR's-in-person purpose, I propose, in all seriousness, that a contingent of us from the NY/NJ/PA area put together a trip to Philly next Hallowe'en season, to visit the "Terror Behind the Walls" haunted house attraction. Tim? Lisa? Vin? I'm looking at you!

                              For a minute I thought she meant me in ladies underwear as part of my costume. . . Whew! is THAT a relief!
