USMCHokie Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 So who pays? You. Do i pay? Yes. IDK if these are even dates or are they just hang out type things? Yes, they are dates. What if one asks if i am seeing anyone else... Be honest.
Author somuchforthat Posted September 15, 2010 Author Posted September 15, 2010 haha okay you are the only one who responds! thanks i know it may seem like 'dumb" questions but for some we dont know all the answers i thought dinner stuff more date type events and things like happy hour wasnt...geuss i am wrong wine gets me pretty good! lol iv never been wine tasting how much do you end up drinking usually lol
alexlakeman Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 You pay. Happy hour "is" a date. Wine tasting "is" a date. Wine tasting, some u drink just a little bit and if u like the wine, you buy a bottle, pay a cork fee, and continue drinking from your own bottle. Maybe others can chime in on what to expect at the wine tasting. ALL my first dates or "first meetings" are at happy hour, ilike happy hours, drinking, plus easier to bail out early if it a crappy time. Plus cheaper than dinner. Dinner would be too formal for a first "date".
EasyHeart Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 More importantly, you met them at a speed dating event. Speed dating. Get it? No one was there looking to make friends; you were there to get dates. And you can safely assume that each of those women got at least 2-3 times more dates than you did, so (as was previously advised) be honest about your other dates.

EasyHeart Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 Yes, wine bars are just bars that only serve wine. They tend to be more classy than regular bars and you don't have to deal with a lot of drunk people. Is the wine tasting at a wine bar? IME, that usually means you pay a flat amount to get in and then sample small glasses of wine. It's okay to not know anything about wine -- just be honest about. The people at the wine tasting are there to educate you, so it's good to listen to their pitch and ask them for recommendations. The worst thing to do is pretend that you know a lot about wines when you actually don't. One bit of advice: I like to stick to one type of wine. Mixing wines give me a stomach ache!

EasyHeart Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 If it's a wine bar, then it will be like any other bar you've been to, but it will only serve wine (no beer or hard liquor) and appetizers. You can buy it by the bottle, but most people order by the glass. Ask your date what kind of wine she likes, and ask the bartender or waitress to recommend something. Some wine bars have tastings or events, but they are usually on weeknights, not weekends (ie, the slower nights). Mine does those every Wednesday and you pay $30 to sample whatever wines they have that night. They usually have a rep from one particular winery who is there to pimp its wine. Hope that helps!

Hope that helps! thanks for the info. I will find out tonight what its like! I went out last night to happy hour to a new place and i tried a drink that my date gets there....a "french kiss" Just two of those got me pretty good! anyways we just talked and it ended around midnight since she had to be up for work. The conversation was ongoing through out ( as in there were no awkward silences) so i think she had a good time though i am horrible at judging these things!
