Buying a stranger a drink at a bar (2 Viewers)

I'd let you buy me a drink if you were wearing one.



Actually that might be the guy who chatted up Jill Hives.

I'd imagine i'd get a favourable reaction if I was wearing a Fedora

you can borrow one from the fedoral reserve

Are people here really getting laid as infrequently as it would appear?

 

[Lili Marlene]

this is just my self consciously wacky internet persona

I look like this in real life

I buy girls drinks at the bar all the time, 100% success rate

Happened to me over Christmas actually. I had a hairband with cat ears on and suddenly noticed I wasn't wearing it anymore, yet did not recall taking it off/losing it etc. I went about my business and about a half an hour later a guy walked up to me with a drink (vodka and blackcurrent, he might as well not have botehred) and said 'My friend wanted you to have this' and pointed over at the bar where a chap was wearing my cat ears. It was smoothly done, I say, because either way you had to laugh snf you instantly felt warm towards the person for a) buying you a drink and b) getting your ears back. Yes. Do that one, I is John.

Lat summer, I got into the habit of being drunk in my local and shouting,
"Jerry! Round for the house on me!"

if you can't afford a round of drink for everyone, buy salt'n'vinegar crisps. Same results.

I'm pretty sure i'm never gonna do this as long as I live so I started a thread about it instead. I live vicariously through thumped.

Good story though




PS. I am, however, willing to accept a drink from any stranger of any sex, ever. Even out of pity cos someone showed them this thread

yeah, you should have politely declined and asked her to ask her friend to buy you a drink instead.

but we've all made that mistake, so don't beat yourself up over it.

i've bought dudes drinks in a kind of 'hey bud we're bonding' way, and i've bought ladies drinks in a kind of 'please have sex with me' way. no biggie

Is it not more likely that this guy stole your cat ears in a desperate bid for attention?

I want to live vicariously through you. It would make for good entertainment.

i was in Berlin last august when we stumbled into what we thought was a" tutty bar"....immediately 3 stunners approached me an my 2 mates...."my" one kept asking me to buy her a drink.....i was like..." eh...nah I'm alright just came to have a look" and she was like...."But me drink! only €40!!!" I retorted "By YOU? a drink, you came over to me love, you should be buying ME a drink".......until the slow realisation dawned on me that, in actual fact, I was being propasitioned by a prostitute.

learning experience as they say.
