Why buy someone anything that hasnt done anything to desrve it? If your gonna piss money away at least give it to charity.

off topic...
i was on the way to the movies with my gf and she wanted to get a quick buzz, so i stopped at 7-11 for a beer run and picked up a 6packer of bud light. I was about 3 beers in when i realized that my gf had barely touched her beer and she had her hand over her stomach. Apparently, she couldn't stomach the sweet taste of bud light 😱

and for all of you h0m0s that don't buy girls drinks...it's no wonder you spend half your day online, getting off on your latest beta games.

haha...another off topic story...
i was in Mt. Pleasant, MI, (home of Central Michigan University) at the main (and pretty much only) bar and it was getting close to last call (2am). I had done about 6 jager bombs and been drinking beer after beer all night long. I started talking to my gf on the dance floor and the next thing i knew, i turned my head and threw up all over the dance floor. Panicking, i ran to the bathroom to spit up some more, and gracefully came back out to dance some more. We started walking back to the main bar area and i ordered one last drink, and i blew up all over the bar. It was disgusting! Thankfully, it was 2am at this point, so everybody was rushing out of the bar and nobody saw me explode. My friends will never let this story die.

hahah i had a similar experience on my 21st b-day. After Taking more shots then i could count of absolute, one of my friend bought me a shot oh johnny black. I hate the smell and taste of scotch, but i NEVER turn down a free drink so I down that sh!t, next thing you know its coming right back up. I grabbed the closest glass near me and puked. My friends all took pics of the glass and won't let it die.

anyway why not buy drinks for females? I dont buy drinks for random chicks, only to my friends, and 9 out of 10 times, they are like "i dunno, whats good?"

btw whats a jager bomb? Taste good?

is that same as a car bomb? (guniness and kalua i think)?

why do'nt you just ask them??

because 9/10 times, they don't know what they want, or they just like someone to pick for them.

edit- plus its nice to take charge and show them you know what you are doing😀
 
Given the bizarre situation that I was required to order drinks before the girl showed up, in which case I could politely ask, I would order a bottle of white wine or perhaps champagne.

I bet, can we say Friend zone? I think we can. I like to go up to a girl in the club with a drink in hand offer it, introduce myself then ask her to dance, doesn't fail often. BTW what do you do that is so revolutionary that it distinguishes you from the "other losers offering drinks"? "Sup b!tch sex?"

I dont put her on a pedastal and supplicate to her and give her things. Your approach would be equally sucessful if you just skipped the drink offer all together.
 
Ask her if you can buy her a drink. Then ask what she would like. If the answer to the first question is No, you save the $$ for the next one.

If you are sending drinks over before approaching.... How pathetic...
