I don't want to be on the hook for dinner. Any ideas how to deflect this?
Suppose you wanted to meet another forum member to exchange ideas. Would you do dinner? Probably not! Dinner is a long and inflexible commitment. It is simply inappropriate for a first, casual meeting. It is just a pain in the ass to dress appropriately for a restaurant and coordinate my diet. We can't bounce to other places or do other things. It is not about money, it is about suitability.
Suggesting dinner is unimaginative, presumptuous, and demanding, even if she pays for it.
Let me explain something to you guys:
Dinner, does not have to equal = Fancy white table cloth sit down dinner that costs $150-200 per head.
