Paying for a valentine's date

:biggrin:

Hello everyone,

I am still bachelor! Valentine's day soon in one months time, it didn't happen last year, it surely won't be happening this year and I've never had a valentine :nopity:

It would be nice to spend the day with someone this time round so if any girl is single and doesn't mind meeting up for the day, I will give you ÂŁ50. No need for commitment or anything, even a coffee would be nice. Just reply back and we'll take it from there. It would be great if you're in Birmingham/Cov. :smile:

Is this only for girls?

Why don't you try a dating site? (pof/okcupid/oasis/uniformdating)

Remove the ÂŁ50 quid offer and just offer to pay for coffee or whatever. It'll make you seem less desperate.

This really depresses me :frown: I hope you aren't serious.

Buying a guy/girl for ÂŁ100 with a happy ending! (of course am joking)

This is a joke, right?

I am not joking, why would I joke?? It's slightly weird to put in the effort to meet a stranger especially for a date that's why I'm saying I'll pay... I don't see anything wrong with that. Yeh sure you could argue I can hire a prostitute for that amount but I'm not like that, I'm looking for genuine company and I know people can have a schedule on valentine's day so I think ÂŁ50 is justified...

This logic is actually sound except the part where you say you're looking for genuine company. How is paying ÂŁ50 quid for a talk going to be different than ÂŁ50 quid for a shag?

I'm not looking for a shag wth!! Why is everyone so sex obsessed? I wasn't born horny, that happen during puberty and that's not my fault. I can imagine how people could feel paying for sex and it's not a good feeling, I'm paying for someone's time.

If I'm going to get judged then may aswell not reply to the thread because I can imagine what you're all going to think and say.

The difference personally for me is vast, good conversation can lead to maybe a friendship if not a lasting memory. for me sex doesn't do it on valentine's day.

I think what you've failed to consider is that without the 50ÂŁ offer a lot of girls would be willing to meet you out of curiosity and solidarity. By offering 50ÂŁ any girl that agrees to this will feel like she's taking advantage of a clearly lonely person and also herself feel cheap. By offering the money you undermine and completely negate the gains of meeting you out of genuine interest. Plus the very idea of a monetary exchange before or after the date would make the girl feel really poor/desperate and awkward. Girls hate awkward.

Not trying to offend anyone but do you have aspergers? It's just I have several friends with aspergers that would do this whilst being completely well intentioned on the pure basis that they think it would be illogical NOT to offer money. If you do have aspergers then this is perfectly justifiable.

NOTE: I am not implying people with aspergers are weird, simply saying it is more common for people with aspergers to think in terms of logic rather than how humans would react emotionally.

I do see your point, I don't suffer from asperger's but all the same that's insightful to know.

The thing I don't agree with is that alot of girls won't be interested out of curiosity's sake or any other reason because I've been through dating scene before and found that the chances of encountering someone willing to talk/reply back for more than 15 mins to a random stranger is not alot. That's why I offered that and didn't think it's a particularly large amount and I was offering it in courtesy of someone's time. Nonetheless I do see your logic and suppose you're right.

Hark, man!

Reserve some dignity man. Why would you want to pay for company when in all likelihood that company is only there for ÂŁ50. It'so not as different to hiring a prostitute. Don't prioritise women so much in your life. There's a whole world out there to explore and it far exceeds anything a woman can bring to the table. Having 'company' is not as a great thing you're making it out to be.

Keep working hard for your education, acquire some hobbies and go out and about meeting new people who share your interest (uni societies for example). This will curb your social anxiety (more than likely the root cause of yoyr loneliness) and you will find yourself talking to more and more girls everyday. You have to take babysteps you can't expect it to all happen in a day.

I'm talking about escorts not just prostitutes for sex. That is the whole point of escorts after all, to provide company for a fee. Any girl you pay for company no matter how casual the agreement is she is by definition an escort. So you may aswell cut the crap and hire a professional one.
