Ok PRT decide for me...where should I go to dinner tomorrow (first date with a new guy from the web)? These are the options he sent me. I am leaning toward the first...<br><br><a href="http://www.monkskettle.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#810081;">http://www.monkskettle.com/</span></a><br><a href="http://www.enricossf.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#810081;">http://www.enricossf.com/</span></a>

Poop, the menus are hard to download for me.<br><br>
I like the sound of Monk's Kettle.

 

[muzicgrl]

I am attracted to this choice because they have a ton of interesting European beers on tap. <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"><br><br>
Edited to add: I hope this one pays because I have like $10 in my bank account right now and frankly I cant afford either place. Why do none of my friggin recent dates pay? <img alt="sad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif">

That is strange. I don't think I have ever been on a first date with any guy that didn't pay. I hope you have fun on your date.

 

[Buxtehude]

They haven't paid? Have they at least paid for their meal?

 

[Buxtehude]

I mean, I don't think any of us are looking for a sugar daddy, because the price is too high to pay, among other things, but the guy paying at least for the first date is a nice and courtly sort of thing to do.

Since when do guys <i>not</i> pay? I've paid for every date my whole life ... monetarily <i>and</i> karmically.<br><br>
I am <b>still</b> paying on some.

 

[muzicgrl]

Well I always offer to pay my half...the last two have taken me up on it. In fact on the third (and final) date I went on with one guy I made dinner...we went to the grocery store to get the ingredients and I paid the entire bill, including the beer. <img alt="confused.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/confused.gif"><br><br>
I am in no way looking for a sugar daddy but I wish some of these guys would at least offer to pay...

 

[witchypoo]

did this fellow ask you out, with no prompting from you? if so, do not offer to go halfsies. he asked, he pays. when you ask, you pay.

 

[muzicgrl]

Ok not only did he pay (I paid for a round of drinks) but he gave me a ride home all the way from SF! <img alt="banana.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/banana.gif"><img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">

Where did you end up going?

 

[Horrible Peanut]

<img alt="mad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/mad.gif"><i>THAT</i> is not a date report, missy!

 

[Gingerbread]

Yeah! To which restaurant did you go?

 

[muzicgrl]

The Monks Kettle. Great little restraunt...you should try it with your daughter sometime.<br><br>
It was late...I was tired. I will get on that later today.

Monk's looks cute! My sis lives just on the other side of Dolores park so not too far away. How was the date?

 

[muzicgrl]

Ok date report time. This one went pretty well. I met him at The Monks Kettle and he had already put us in for a table so we sat at the bar and had a beer (Radeberger Pilsner) and pretzel and talked about our weekends. Apparently he is nicer than I am because he spent his whole weekend volunteering (legal advice for a non profit on Sunday and scholarship committee for UCLA on Sunday) and I spent mine being lazy...oh well. We then had a second beer (Affligem Blonde) and finally got our table. We had good conversation adn food and another beer (Franziskaner Hef) and finally left at about 8:30. It was too early to go home so we went back to his neighborhood to go to a Martini place he likes (which turned out to be closed) and ended up at neighborhood bar for more conversation. We then headed back to his place and he gave me a ride all the way home. I told him that I had a good time and to call me. All in all one of the better dates I have had recently...although Sunday night is definately suboptimal for dating.<br><br>
I have a different date tonight (we are meeting near my work :uhoh2<img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> so we will see how this one goes. Hopefully as well or better.

 

[muzicgrl]

You need to come visit her. I now know of all kinds of wonderful places in the city!

 

[Buxtehude]

That wasn't just a date report. It was a beer report.

 

[muzicgrl]

Yep...its an importnat part of the date. <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"> I was surprised that he had the same beers as me (except the last one).

 

[runningINnyc]

I may be out in May (for Bay to Breakers) and if not (or maybe in addition to) I'm planning to come out in July. We'll have to totally meet up!<br><br>
I like the sounds of the date, nice and casual but fun (and with good beers!). Good luck tonight and let us know how it goes!
