    If only I'd thought of that! Next time!

    You can't win really. If you refuse a drink (which I usually do as I don't believe in giving guys false notions) then you're one of these 'stuck up Irish girls' that I've read so much about lately on boards. If you take one you immediately think they're looking for something which in fairness they usually are :rolleyes:

    Meh. I'd rather be a cat.

    i will admit i did ask a guy to buy me a drink once. however in my defence i was underage, it was ozzfest, and they were being REALLY strict at the bar.

    however, the amount of times guys have INSISTED on buying me drinks is ridiculous, so really its half the male populations fault for being stupid enough to think buying girls drinks will get them somewhere.

    i had a guy insist on buying me a drink once, and after refusing a couple of times (this was after chatting a wee bit while waiting at the bar, i had already told him i had a boyfriend) when i finally accepted, he asked for a kiss "in return" i was like, wtf!

    if im out and chatting with a guy or whatever, and he buys me a drink, i will usually get one in return, however the exception being the nobs who think you somehow owe them something cause they bought you a drink (and i dont mean a drink in return)

    If I bought a girl a drink I would expect at least a handjob in return.

    I've had the opposite, where guys won't take a "no, I don't want you to buy me a drink", cos my experience has been if I say yes, some guys think that I "owe" them in someway. I guess it really depends on your own values

    happened to me in cork when i was down for the jazz festival. these little 18 yr olds asked me to get them a drink. i bought one of them a drink, cost like a fiver or whatever, they seemed nice enough like and there was a bit of pre-purchase banter. but, then their mates showed up, and one of them had the cheek to come over and ask me straight out to buy her a drink. i told her to F**k OFF anyway.

    the only further interaction i had from any of them that night was a tip on the shoulder when they walked passed me to go to the bathroom. needless to say ill be more careful splashin me hard earned fiver in future! :p

    Perhaps they've just heard about your strict return purchase policy and are using you to save themselves a trip to the bar. It's geniarse.

    Alternatively cut out the idle chat, whilst ordering the drink she has
    'demanded' ask the bar-man (in a voice loud enough for half the bar to hear)
    "Is the condom machine in the gents working?"

    I dunno, you'd just have male cats offering to kill you a bird. Same difference.

    yup number 18 there hit the nail on the head. women have come to realise that many men are more than willing to buy them drinks, and so they are taking full advantage of the situation.

    I guess why shouldn't they. its those men out there that are stupid enough to allow themselves to be taken advantage of.

    not all girls are so braisen to ask for a drink! i'm shocked to hear that happens! tell them to sh@g off!

    If a guy offered me a drink i actually wouldn't let him!

    Next time ask if she really thinks its safe accepting drinks from strangers in this day and age.
    Seriously, Two Girls sitting at a table and a guy comes over with drinks,Hugh chance they'll take them and drink them.Why not,that was sweet of him?How safe is it?Most people are out for a good night and its unlikely that there's anything in the drinks.can you be sure?especially after a few drinks?

    As for the stepping on womans feet maybe he's trying to make the point that he has big "feet" LOL

    Dont as a matter of principle buy strange girls drinks. on a date i would but would expect it to become a rounds thing. What i cant understand is the fools who do buy girls drinks the girls are well aware the lads are only after one thing but the ejit guys dont seem to realise the sames true of the girls. Obviously im saying its the drink they are after.

    But all girls are strange :confused:



    :D

    I've been told by friends who are girls that you should never buy girls you don't know drinks in a bar. I never have, never would. Why the hell would you especially if she has the cheek to ask as she might as well have a sign on her head saying why she is there.

    My guess at the reason some guys do it is that they know the girl is there for free drink but think they are great enough to pull her anyway or something stupid like that. Yeah, I'd guess the girl doesn't tell the guy she wants to buy her a drink ;)

    If she asks you to buy her a drink, slip a roofie in it and have your way with her later.

    That oughta learn her.

    I could be digging a hole..... I should probably stay away from this thread....
    But for me, I like it when a guy offers to buy me a drink. It's the fact that he does it. It shows that he is considerate, (talking from the list).
    I always say no, but again it the FACT that he offers.
    Then again maybe he just wants to spike it! :O

    Don't know where the whole original concept came from, but there is nothing wrong with offering to buy a drink just the ONE time.

    I never accept drinks from random men in bars, even when they offer, because I don't want them to think I owe them something (be it sex, conversation or whatever)

    Never have done the whole would you like a drink thing right off the bat. OK if you're having a conversation and you're off to the bar, I may offer, same with mates. That's about it.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    I accept a drink doesn't mean I have to hop into bed with them and men know that too. Often as said they are happy with a chat and a bit of banter. No harm I say.

    No offence but that sounds like the sort of thing an 'escort' would say is it not....

    I was out one night in Galway a few years ago.

    Queueing to get into a night club and I just started chatting to 2 birds, just about one or two sentences exchanged. I was a bit beered at the time but not too bad.

    She then asked straight out would I buy here and her friend a drink when we got in.

    I replied "I will if you give me a bl0wjob"!

    Sorted her out! :D

    Didn't get the BJ though :(

    Free drinks for walking the walk, talking the talk, and looking the look? Yes, indeed, it's a grand thing, so don't spoil it!

    You do realise the tip on the shoulder was an invite to join them in the ladies for them to show you their em 'gratitude'.

    Missed out big time there:D

    This isn't the first time this has happened either. Why do women think blokes should fork out for the pleasure of their company after a few seconds of conversation??

    the girl was just chancing her arm.
    I think, let the beer flow... who-ever buys it- just dont do it under compliment. Enjoy the thing or dont buy...
