I heard a good story today which I feel epitomizes how badly it backfires when you associate spending money on a girl with her liking you more. While I can't say I've ever been as bad as this guy, I know I've done some pretty dumb things in the past, and hearing stories like this takes me back.
A buddy and I went to Hooters for lunch today. When the waitress approached us (gorgeous, of course) she immediately noticed the hat I was wearing, from the college I graduated from. She was very excited and mentioned that she goes there as well, so we were BS'ing college for awhile. She was very outgoing and flirty, but then again, that's how she makes her tips.
Out of curiosity I asked her how many times per week she gets asked out/how often patrons ask for her phone number, and that's when she gave this interesting story. Awhile back she had some random guy in his mid 30's that took her flirty nature as real flirting, and proceeded to come in every Friday/Saturday for five weeks, leaving her $100 tips each time. After like the 10th time, he asked her out, asked for the phone number...and was in shock when it didn't work for him. To her, he was pretty damn creepy, but went along with it when he was giving out $100 tips...plus, it's her job. I have a suspicion he isn't the first guy to do a thing like that there.
It's pretty obvious how badly he went wrong, but he didn't even see anything.
My worst incident involving money on girls was about 6 years ago, when I was in college. I was on a date, and took the girl to a restaurant that I worked at as a waiter. My best friend was our waitress. At the end of the meal, I gave her a ridiculous tip. She tried to give it back to me, but I was persistent, and told her to just buy me drinks next time we go out. Put lightly...I didn't get the reaction I was expecting. The date was not exactly impressed, either. Lesson learned.
What are some of the bad ways you've handled spending when you're out? I love hearing everyone's horror stories...
