With blokes "Lets go for a drink" mean the local

 

For men twenty years older than me it might. What is worse is you are twenty years younger than me with a dominoes and darts outlook!!

If someone askes me to go for a drink my first thought is usually whether or not I like the person who has asked me. If I don't like the person I will go over in my head about a million times the best excuse which could be used to get out of it. If I do like the person I will have to consider whether or not I'm actually thirsty, and if I'm not thirsty whether I should just go anyway. This is normally follwed by whether or not it's cold outside because it could effect my decision to wear a jumper or not, but this simple desicision is often clouded by whats likely to happen afterwards....will it just be a drink or 2 down the pub or will we end up in a club after? I don't particuarly like wearing jumpers in clubs. It also depends if I have to drive or not. If I don't I usually am more likely to say yes to the drink and end up having a few, but if I do have to drive I don't like sitting watching everyone drinking a nice pint while I'm there with a glass of warm water or over priced coke.

I also have to take into consideration what I'm doing the next morning (assuming I'm being asked for this drink in the evening). I don't like drinking alcohol if I have an early morning ahead of me. If I am asked for a drink during the day however, I equally need to consider what I am doing later that same day.

Once I actually get to the point of leaving the house I wonder if I should invite anyone else? Is it just going to be a quiet drink with a couple of mates? Would it be better to invite a few other while I'm at it? Would the person who initially invited me be offended if I asked a couple more people along without his/her permission? Has anyone else been invited that I don't know of-I'd look stupid if I sent them their second invite of the evening!

 

How should I greet the person I'm meeting? Will a simple "hi" suffice? Do I shake his hand or give him some sort of masculine man-hug? How should I refer to him? His name? A nickname? "mate"? "Buddy"? "Pal"?

Once I'm in the pub I have to chose a suitable beverage (assuming I'm not driving). This could be an ale of some sort, a lager, a cider, a spirit, a wine, an appletiser or J2O. What quantity of drink to I want? Pint? Half a pint? In a wine glass? In a bottle? How big should the bottle be? Do any of these need a straw? Would it look gay if I used a straw? But wait! Are we doing rounds or just buying individually?!

 

This brings me to how I should drink it. Should I look really manly and just drink it fast? Or should I take it slowly and savour whatever drink I'm drinking?If I finish it fast should I get another drink immediately after? If so what should I get (see above).

Who should I socialise with? The person on my left, right, or opposite me? Is it better to just talk to one person or is it better if the whole group gets involved in a single conversation? This often results in people shouting over each other to het their voice heard!....I wonder what the people at the table next to us are thinking of our rowdy conversation? Should I split from the group all together and go anf chat up some hot girl and woo her with my white wine and straw? What the hell should I talk about anyway (to anyone)? Is it sad to talk about work in the pub? Do I talk about football? What if someone there doesn't like football? Would a game of pool or darts allow me to avoid conversation all together?

 

If later in the evening I need a **** what should I do? Do I let someone know that I'm going for a wee or do I just quietly slip away? Are you meant to wash your hands in pub toilets? If so do you just rinse them or do you use the soap? How do you dry your hands? Use the hand dryer or just wipe your clothes? Are any of the above descisions effect by whether or not there is someone else in the toilet at the time?

 

When do I leave at the end of the night? Do I just go when everyone else goes? Wait til last orders? Be the first to make the first move?....but what if nobody cares if I say I'm going? I'll look sad and they'll just laugh at me when I'm gone? At least if I stay til the end nobody else will have the chance to laugh at me behind my back, right?

 

How should I get back home (I haven't pulled that fit girl if you were wondering)? Do I walk? Taxi? Bus? Train? Grab a lift with the designated driver? (Sh!t! Was I supposed to be the designated driver?!) What route should I take back? The same way I came? The fastest? The shortest?

 

What do I do when I get back home? Should I just go straight to bed and try and forget the sh!t night I've just had? Should I text the person who first invited me and thank him for a good night, and suggest doing it again some time?

 

So yeah, it's all pretty simple really.

[Jillyanne]

Just stay in Jawillwill. End of.

Jww, that is so spooky mate. Are you me?

 

I resisted quoting the whole thing as I am not sure if the internet is big enough,, but we should talk about this over a pint sometime.

 

Actually, post of the month I think.
