For me now its 1 hour coffee so the lady knows she has a get out clause and can suffer an hour or so with definate escape and NO alcohol. Works a treat but anyway...

    One of first meal dates i had she went to loo after starter and guess what, never came back. Got a text a few mins later saying she had panic attack and left, can we re-arrange. This kind offer was declinded while i was sitting in the restaurant on my jack.

    Another soon after I arranged to meet a girl in restaurant, she turned up and both of us realised almost immediately it was not for us. We made small talk while the food came and we tucked in with gusto to get it over and done with. I got a steak like a football and they didn't give me a steak knife so I am ripping into it and eating as fast as possible. Eventually it happens.... I swallow a piece thats too big, little cough, few swallows, nope its stuck. I could even feel it in my throat, take a drink, not happening, I am starting to panic now so I grunt excuse me and run outside. Round the corner i have both hands up against the wall and am pukin for England to get rid of this steak, making horrible wheezin noise trying to breath. 5 mins later with one huge and very loud chunder I get rid of the blockage as well as the rest of the evenings meal. Tears running down my face, sick drippin off my chin I look up to see my date standing there with a look of horror on her face. She asks if I am ok, i respond I am, she went in and guess what.... when i get there 10 mins or so later there is some money on the plate and an empty seat.

    Nightmare... Still makes my toes curl thinking about it now
    Jeez, perhaps I can understand your constant frustrated tone now!

    my ex missus worked in the NAAFI in Colchester when she was about 20. One of the guys invited her out for a blue-vein steak. She was a bit puzzled when he took her to a local park and asked what he was going to do about the steak, so he says 'oh, ready for the blue-veiner are you' pushes her against a tree and whips his sos out.
    His eyes lit up when she pulled her dress up around her waist, only to grow dim as she ran like hell across the park and back to her room

    But Sir, you misunderstand me.

    You can have a very romantic evening nice food, fine wines, decent music etc etc

    but then this cultured, intelligent, attractive, well mannered lady turns out to have the morals of a tu'penny whore

    not complaining just an observation like!

    but you do raise a good point - when you mention the word Slapper I immediately think of orange birds with gold hoop earings.

    but experience tells me there are a lot of classy (to look at them) birds who bang like a sh!t house door in the wind....

    well she was actually quite intelligent, could hold a good conversation had a decent job if I remember rightly.

    mind you she left her shoes (common tactic by women to get invited round again btw) which was tricky to explain to the gf of the time.
