Buying a guy dinner for birthday?

[Ashenor]

I thought OP was a chick, changes this whole tread for me.

If its not a man date telling him to F-off.

 

[Lean L]

Lol this thread reminds me of that time I jokingly invited a guy out on a date while in a group of friends. Try that at a bar once, hilarious conversations will ensue. Just don't be serious.

 

[Capt Caveman]

Take him out to lunch and don't turn ghey.

 

[Savij]

Buy him a $20 gift card to Chili's and be done with it.

 

[Saint Nick]

Tell him you're going to go out to eat...end up at BWW.

 

[SaDiZTiKStyLeZ]

Take him to expensive restaurant.
Get there & realize you forgot your wallet & plastic in your other Rolls Royce.
He'll pay.
Then fuck him in the back of your hooptie-mobile.

Never ate at Cheesecake Factory, but I don't see what the hell is wrong with Applebees?

OP: The guy sounds like a bitch. Keeps bugging you to take him on a $100 dinner? Tell him to suck a fuckin dick.

i actually don't either, lol. I see it maligned a LOT on these forums and elsewhere though, hence what i said.

I think that is what his friend wants... to suck his dick.

 

[alkemyst]

do the Melting Pot and you can feed each other.

 

[shortylickens]

Applebees isnt great but it damn sure aint the worst thing on earth.

 

[Zargon]

what a mooch

 

[Ashenor]

I see a sword fight in his future.

Get a few friends together along with birthday boy, meet at whatever restaurant you're comfortable paying for, then pick up his check along with yours. That way it's more of a party atmosphere and (more importantly) YOU CONTROL WHERE YOU ARE EATING. It's not up to him.

 

[ivan2]

Insist on the expensive lube at his place.

 

[Childs]

Just take him out somewhere decent. Just look for an inexpensive place that he hasnt heard of and say you heard good things about it. Worse case scenario, you get a bj out of it. It wont kill you. Best case scenario, you enjoy it! :biggrin:

And this probably applies to everything, but I think there was a Seinfeld episode on this.

 

[uclabachelor]

Looking for your thoughts. There's this guy that I'm somewhat friends with and I wasn't able to make it to his 30th birthday dinner. To be nice, I told him I'll get him next time. He keeps pressing to get dinner together and he names these expensive places. I would only go to those places if I was taking a girl out that I really liked. Is this guy serious?

I'm finding it hilarious because most guys would just be happy if someone bought him a shot at a bar and call it a day. He "isn't into the bar scene" so I don't know what to do with this guy. How to best handle this situation? I am not going to drop $100 for a sushi dinner (like he wants). I'm broke.

WTF, is he gay or something? I usually joke about going out to expensive dinners but I could care less if they bought me McDonalds instead.

 

[amdhunter]

uh, what?

im pretty sure two guy friends can go out for dinner if they want. op missed his buddy's b-day and wants to take him out somewhere as a gesture of friendship. im pretty sure that is no big deal.

Nope. I know every time I've asked a guy out, I had a good pushpin session in mind. :sneaky:

 

[Krazy4Real]

Give him a blowjob. Otherwise, skip dinner and just get him lunch like any normal person would.

 

[Bill Brasky]

Be forthcoming and tell him you're not spending that kind of money. Definitely look for some happy hour or reverse happy hours to make higher end places quite affordable.

 

[SP33Demon]

He sounds like a primadonna. Take him to the jewelry section of Walmart instead.

 

[twinrider1]

Yeaaaa, no.

I have no problem with buying him dinner. My buddies and I do that. We're too old to go out and buy actual gifts for each other. But we just go to the same decent sit-down local mexican place we always frequent, nothing special. This guy thinking it's a special occasion to go top shelf.....no.

 

[zinfamous]

I'm somewhat confused.

Is OP male or female?

"The Soup": "Soup's not a meal."

 

[Fingolfin269]

You guys must not know each other very well. I'm sure my friends would joke around about going to an expensive place and I'd respond with a ha, dude we're going to get a pitcher and some chicken wings, we're not going to the Melting Pot.

 

[marvdmartian]

Yeah, just don't get too carried away with the alcohol.....don't want THIS to happen!! D:
