I don't mind meeting in a bar, necessarily.
When I was a regular at Tuesday night karaoke, that was my preferred place. There's three reasons:
1) Security. All of my friends there knew me and would "keep an eye on me"
2) Honestly, so that the lady could meet some of my friends and could find out all kinds of little tidbits about me that I might not have shared but she might think is important.
3) I know what my drinking habits are (almost non-existent) but, it was always interesting to see how the "drunks would out" when exposed to a place where alcohol is served (addiction is a big deal-breaker for me).
Since I haven't been very active in doing karaoke since I moved here, the only places that I'm familiar with (and where people know me) would be a music store, a recording studio, A TGIFRIDAYS©, and an Outback©.
Obviously, my choices will be limited.
Based upon the title of the thread, I'll share a personal experience that fits:
A young lady messaged me, about two years ago. ANY profile I have mentions most of the things I feel ladies might see as deal-breakers (smoking, polyamory, etc.).
I gave this lady a choice of meeting for coffee on Saturday or meeting at my Tuesday karaoke joint. She didn't want to wait.
She showed up and could do nothing but bitch about the noise (a legitimate complaint. I prefer someplace quiet so we can actually speak to each other but, remember: it was her choice). I assured her that if we both wanted to, we could go to a local diner for coffee, after a bit so we could talk.
She set in to drinking ... heavily. I refuse to pay for more than three drinks on any first date (hell, on any date. I don't associate with drunks). She was shocked - nearing outrage - when she said: "This drink is finished. I need another" and I pointed her toward the bar.
Suddenly, she was "having a problem" with her vehicle so, could I just follow her (90 minutes, one way) to make sure she got home alright.
The next day, I was working out how I was going to tell her, diplomatically, that I didn't think things went so well when she called me and announced that she had such a great time that she was removing her profile from the site. She paused.
"Aren't you going to take yours down, too?"
I asked her (for the third time) if she'd read my profile, entirely. When she responded: "Yes", I asked her if she understood what polyamory was. She said: "But, surely, that was only until you found me. Right?"
It wasn't "fifteen minutes" but, it should have been.
Screen captures still RULE! Ya feel me?
