I have heard most of my female coworkers complaining at least once or twice about a bad date they have had. I have been with the company for a little over 6 months. I do not doubt the fact that they may have had a less than amazing experience but was it really that awful? They never complain about the $50 meal they wolfed down, the $15 margarita, or the $20 movie they watched (popcorn & soda). If they were having such a bad time then maybe they should have asked to be taken home right after the appetizer. I think that if anyone has the right to complain it should be the guy, after all he just spent $85 on you and you probably only spent $5 in makeup.

Ok, some of you are missing the point entirely. I am not saying that you have to like the guy just because he spends money on you. What I am saying is that if you Don’t like the guy (boring…whatever) then end the date quickly, don’t spend the next few hours wasting his time and money and if you still go through with it then don’t complain about it since you could have ended it quickly but you choose Not to!

I know that good makeup can costs $100 and up, as some have pointed out, but do you really put all $100 worth of makeup on your face all at one for a single date? This isn’t about me; I don’t have a problem getting women (I usually don’t spend that much on a date either). This is about overhearing female coworkers talk about their dates. I don’t date my coworkers.

You are right...............they should cut the night short if they know they are not interested or just having a bad time.
SOME women think 'Well at least I'm getting a free meal and movie out of it"
Those kind of girls tend to be shallow. I apologize on behalf of them........I actually have cut the night short due to not having a good time. I see it as, why waste time and money while I can still save the night and do something else that I enjoy.
I agree with you. =)

I think women stay in hopes that the night might turn for the better. Or they may not leave after the appetizer because they either don't want to hurt or emberras the guy infront of other people. I think paying $85 for a dinner date is an investment and a risk you are taking. Just because the women in your job complain doesn't mean that all women do that. Maybe your co-workes simply haven't had a good date that could be a possible.

ROFLMAO. First off if you want to talk about money lets go! First off you can't get squat in makeup for $5. An Eyeshadow (1) costs $15 alone. Then you've got a highlightr color then mascara, eyeliner, blush. base, lip liner and lipstick and lip gloss. My makeup costs almost $400. Or you can buy the cheaper stuff and thats still $150-200. Then men of course expect a woman to be clean and look good all over so we've got the mani and pedi =$40. then the numerous hair products that put on our hair in the course of an hour. Leave in conditioner, body mouse, difrizzer, and then a hold spray. Not to mention the $200 flat iron. Then you've got waxing. my waxing- eyebrows, bikini line and underarms =$120. Then of course the out fit. Dresses these day cost $90-200. And that only in the mall! Then you've got accesories for each outfit. Earings, necklances, bracelets and rings. Then of course the purse. Now you want to ***** about penny's you spent on a dinner when we spends a crap load to look nice on a date and all we get is a boring, self absorbed twit who had no ambitions, no hobby other than drinking with his buddies and no plans or goals to speak of and most of the time took no more effort to clean up for our date then if he were taking out the trash. We are polite enough not to say, " Stop. You know what I don't this is gonna work. Your annoying/boring/being a horn dog/ impolite/ ignorant (take yur pick on words!) take me home now." Ya then we would be the insensitive and cruel B**** who didn't even give you a chance. We at least give you a chance and let you save face by talking to our friends about the guy instead of telling you to your face. Oh and all that you money you spent on the girl. You would have spent it anyway and more on beer food and what ever else you would have done that sat night with your boys so suck it up. I've been on more lousy dates with losers than I care to remember so yes it can really be that awful! try having some guy you thought was nice trying to talk about how he wants to sex me up with food between his teeth and sweat stains on his shirt. Thank the stars I don't ever have to date again because it sucked.

Females tend to have high expectations on guys especially on the first date. They don't allow room for flaws (well, no guy, or girl, is perfect anyway) as they think that the guy has to impress the girl. Reality is, guys are still human and they do fart and can sometimes be insensitive (maybe not intentionally). The thing is whether the lady can accept the guy as a whole person, flaws and all. People take time to overcome their flaws.

Hey if the guy and/or date was really that bad, then the girl has a right to complain. I've had several bad dates, but I always make sure that if the date is going badly I end up paying my half - it's also a way of showing the guy you don't think of the outing as a date, and he may get the picture that you're not interested.

dude, i am so a fan of yours right now! that's what i really hate about dating. i took this one woman out on more than a few occasions and i'm talking a pretty swank restaurant or two. not even once did we do what's supposed to follow after the three date rule. this woman felt entitled, she was a total brat, as if mankind owes her something. worse experience of my life! she acted as though she deserved to be showered with expensive gifts, dinners, and shows. i've been so turned off by that situation that i haven't been on any real dates since. women are always complaining, but most never offer to take a guy out on their dime.

I think it's a matter of feeling that it would be rude to duck out so early. Women by nature are more into making sure everyone is happy, and ditching the guy 20 minutes into the date is awfully mean. I won't lie, there are some women that figure "Oh well, my evening's ruined anyway, might as well get as much out of this guy as I can before I get rid of him.", but I assure you that not ALL women are like that. Mostly, it's a guilt thing...

Good point.
A date is what you BOTH make of it. The girl is equally as responsible for a bad date as the guy is. If they're not compatible, then fine. But there's no reason to complain about it, especially in an office setting.

that's the price he has to pay to go fishing in the pond.
women complain about everything when together. that's just a form of socializing. If they go out with the same guy more than once well...
the best dates are over coffee watching other people either outside or in a book store. you learn a lot about the other person that way. I hate eating in front of anyone I don't know that well- am apt to shoot a cherry tomato out my nose.

My guess is that one goes through with the entire date in hopes that things might improve. A date starting off a bit awkward wouldn't be news to anybody.
