Amen!

I tried online dating three years ago and it drove me around the bend. I prefer meeting women i the real world.

Also, I really question the move to cut $100 off the bill to satisfy your displeasure with the service. That benefits you and your friend, and not the ladies, as I will presume that you and your friend were paying. The service sounds terrible, indeed, but for the ladies, not you. Your service was fine. A better move would have been to convince the waiter that the proper way to rectify the situation would be to provide an extra bottle of wine or two; a bottle of champagne for new year's; a lavish dessert medley -- something like that. That way, the fix benefits the ladies, not just your wallet. The $100 is nice but on a date, while I am happy to be open about my status (which is modest, I am young), I don't shirk costs because it is not becoming, and because I wouldn't ask a girl out to have a subpar time. While I agree that your friend shoulders much of the blame, I think this part also looked bad for you.

How do you know? You don't know these girls, do you? Assuming you will get anything on a date is stupid and counter-productive in my opinion. Hoping and wishing for some action is all good, but assuming and planning as if you know you will is not. It's better to expect nothing and be surprised by getting something than to expect everything and be disappointed when you get nothing.

That being said, I think it's important to decide beforehand what you actually want to achieve with a date. If you are only after sexual encounters and not interested in long-term relationships, there is nothing wrong with having a direct approach, but never EVER put up idiotic ultimatums like the stupid friend did in this case. If you are in fact interested in a long-term relationship, expecting to get laid on the first date is not the right way to go.

I agree, in principle, but after all, this was New Year's Eve, which I think would qualify as an exception to that rule. On the other hand, going out on a double date with two strange girls on New Year's Eve might not be the best thing to do, but given the circumstances, I think the dinner was appropriate.

Why can't people give straight up answers on this damn thread?
Anyway, my best bet is to try a mixture of things... casual dating is a great way to build up skills to grab women out of any scene. Do some online dating services, go out, and meet women through friends as well. I mean that's the most straight up answer I can give you. Good luck.

Hollywood for ugly people. So true.

Like in Charlie Wilson's War, "it'll be like Dallas, but set in Washington DC!"

Hm, do I laugh or cry? I knew this thread was headed for disaster as soon as the words "financial analyst" were uttered.

Yeah, here's advice: Your friend is a dumbass for saying that and you shouldn't make him a wingman anymore. He pretty much said "show me that you are a slut or fuck off." Goddamn it I hate it when guys pull that stupid shit... desperate bastards.

Call her back and apologize... girls respect that youre taking the situation in to your hands, and its just another test they pull on us girls. I guarantee if you do this and keep youre cool while doing it, youre back in. The only reason she was eager to get the hell out of there was because she generalized you being like your friend.
