Okay, so you’ve impressed your date with that fancy dinner for two you’ve won from the Seattle Times web site. Um… now what?
I mean, if you tell your date that you got the dinner for free, it’s not all that impressive, is it? But if you lie, and pretend you’re shelling out bucks on a fancy meal, than she might reasonably assume that you can afford to spend money like that, thus setting up the expectation of future pricy meals. Or, she might guess that you can’t afford to spend money like that, and thus assume you’re pretty damn irresponsible.
Or let’s say it works, and a fancy dinner really does impress your date, and maybe you get lucky later. If that’s the sort of shallow relationship you’re looking for, wouldn’t it be cheaper and more honest in the long run just to frequent hookers?
Personally, I’d rather impress my date with who I am, rather than what kind of restaurant I appear to be able to afford… though perhaps that explains why I’m divorced and single.
goldy, you really need to get over your obsession with the seattle times. don’t worry, darcy says it’s ok for you to do so.

Getting laid does take an “investment”.
Taking your date to Burger King and giving her one of those cardboard crowns just ain’t gonna get it done…..as I’m sure even you has finally surmised.
Honesty works best. If you win a free meal, call up your prospective date. Be excited. Tell her you just won a dinner to an expensive restaurant, and …
(Option A) …you couldn’t enjoy it unless she was accompanying you.
(Option B)… you wanted to share it with her.
(Option C)… you immediately thought of her, because being with her for an evening dinner would be the nicest thing you could ever win.
impress your date: turn the heat up to 65.

I see you finally figured out women, Goldy. I mean, you can’t win with them — no matter what you do, you’re wrong. All of this, of course, is to indoctrinate you and soften you up for what they really want from you, namely, just shut up and do what they tell you.
Where did I put my frying pan?
Uh-oh, I just remembered I have an appointment in Boise this afternooooooooooooooooo … YIKES SCREEEEECH

Gee, you wouldn’t know it from the plethora of scandals in the papers over the past few years.
Obviously roger didn’t have much luck with women when he was younger.
Goldy, you need to quit your underlying ‘women are hookers theme’ It’s why we don’t want to date you. Fancy dinner or burger king doesn’t matter if the man doesn’t respect you in the first place
The Impress your date might refer to your ability to enjoy a fancy meal, not your ability to finance one. Many folks have taste buds and want a partner who can at least pretend to enjoy good food.
Anyway, who is saying a woman couldn’t win this?
Or that you can’t take your spouse on a date?
Goldy, make sure you leave the fingertipless
wool gloves at home or your date might think
you came fresh from tent city. Do they have
high speed hook up at tent city?
