Plus the point you raised was quite valid.

Just as a general guideline or rule of thumb:

You're not going to get in her pants by going Dutch.

That's not a set in stone law but it's a good guideline. A fair trade off is at least when it comes to paying the dinner check is always always always get it the first time and if she offers to pay politely decline. If she insists, offer her the chance to pay next time. That's legit.

In the case of cost sharing on a flight you're doing anyway, politely decline her offer to pay if she makes it. You're in an airplane so you need to hold yourself to that higher standard, man up and be a baller.

This is very solid advice, thank you.

To be honest Golfer isn't treating him any different than he would treat anyone else. Those of us that
have been around him in game and real life know this is how he treats everyone, and it is all in fun.
If they met in real life Golfer would be the first to help him, or poke fun at him depending on how the
mood took him at that time.

Ah, I didn't realize she wasn't interested in the first place.

Oh, and here's some advice Tupac, next time you go "flying" with her (if that's what you kids call it these days) make sure to wear a parachute!  :cheers: :D

I'd be happy to be your wingman but only when you're of legal age and so are the girls. Chris Hansen wouldn't approve otherwise.

You don't need a girlfriend. You need a summer fling with a chick who is promiscuous but still clean.  Bob Seger wrote a song about the chick you need.

It's nice to be able to give proper advice such as this where my niece gets kickboxing lessons and weapons. :)

Holy crap, I swear you were reading my mind.  :O

I am quite fond of the CFI girl, and she follows me around like a lost puppy whenever I am at the airport so it might be mutual. She even laughs at my really dumb jokes (All of my jokes are really dumb)

Aircraft: PIPER PA-34-200T, Registration: N47506
Injuries: 2 Fatal.

The private pilot and a pilot rated passenger [two pilots] were going to practice simulated instrument flight. Witnesses observed the airplane's right wing fail in a dive and crash. Examination of the wreckage and bodies revealed that both occupants were partially clothed and the front right seat was in the full aft reclining position. [The pilots had converted the co-pilot seat to a bed.] Neither body showed evidence of seatbelts or shoulder harnesses being worn. [They were lying on the bed.] Examination of the individuals' clothing revealed no evidence of ripping or distress to the zippers and belts. [Their lack of clothing seemed to be voluntary.]

The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident as follows:

The pilot in command's improper in-flight decision to divert her attention to other activities not related to the conduct of the flight. [The pilot and co-pilot were having sex, and nobody was flying the plane.] Contributing to the accident was the exceeding of the design limits of the airplane leading to a wing failure. [The lack of a pilot caused the plane to fly erratically, over-stressing the wing and leading to a crash.]

England 194something.

B-17 pilot out on the town wants to impress his date, goes back to the field and hops in a B-17.  Cranks up and takesoff but crashes right after takeoff (it was a dark, stormy night).  Both survive.
