I thought the proper etiquette these days was to bring the lady to the bar so that she can see you're not drugging her? Or do we buy one for each of us and let them choose? Take a sip from theirs first so that they know it's ok? ah, the joys of modern courtship....
I've only offered to buy a girl a drink once....she accepted and came to the bar with me...between intros and getting to the bar, I managed to forget her name....my friend approached us at the bar...his first question? 'who's your friend?'....
you should have asked the rude friend to get drinks for both of you so you could keep talking.

Hahaha... excellent!
I never expect to get bought drinks but it's nice when they do... and it's nice when they notice yours is empty and go without finishing theirs... although when my drink's empty, I never really give them enough time to get to the bar. Life's too short to wait around for men to buy drinks . If her drink was empty it was rude of HER to be waiting for one to be bought... and then getting her friend to explain the 'etiquette' cheap bitches you sure they weren't Scottish?

Girls, if a guy buys you a drink, do you buy him a drink next and then you both go round for round? That's what I used to do.
I hate chicks that make men spend a shitload of cash on them when they aren't even interested in the guy at all. I also let a guy know straight away that I'm not single....and if he still wants to buy me a drink he can. Most guys don't bother to buy me a drink after I tell them that....which is fine....no point wasting their money on me when it's not going to get them anywhere.
Oh I always get them back... for a man to buy me drink all night, he has to physically almost hold me down while he pays . It's something I'm not comfortable with... I've had it happen and while it's nice not to spend money you feel like you SHOULD feel like you owe them 'something' although I don't feel like that If they've no chance, I'd usually be straight from the beginning anyway.

Ooohh I hate when you forget their name... I usually have to be told a name twice if I'm sober (5 or 6 times if I'm drunk) but then I never ever forget it.
Well I'm usually sitting AT the bar anyway so it saves both having to walk TO the bar

I find it uncomfortable for a fella I hardly know to buy me a drink, especially since I'm going out with someone. It makes me feel like I've given the wrong impression about my status :?

That's quite thoughtful. I'm impressed.
I can't tell if you're being serious or mocking me....my post was toungue-in-cheek, but accepting drinks from strangers IS a serious issue these days...I personally know two girls that have been drugged at bars...
Wait....I'm suppose to buy HER a drink??? Man, and here I've been waiting for the girl to buy ME a drink.
I'll buy you a drink
A girl that tells you to buy her a drink isn't worth the moeny you spent on it. I have never once asked someone to buy me a drink, pay my dinner etc.... If you offer that's fine but I would never ask, or tell for that matter.
I find it uncomfortable for a fella I hardly know to buy me a drink, especially since I'm going out with someone. It makes me feel like I've given the wrong impression about my status :?
no way its your fault.
if a girl is hangin out and her drink is low i will offer her to get her a new one. its that simple.
i've never sent a person a drink. i think thats weird.
If a women told me I have to buy her a drink I would let her enjoy the rest of her night without me...
In my book, it's an ultimate red flag if girls go out expecting men to buy them every drink. I know girls who don't even bring money! They know that douchebags will buy them drinks all night. They have no intention of ever seeing these guys again.
Don't get me wrong...
If I'm having a conversation with a group of girls and I need another drink I will ask them if they need anything. I just don't use the "Can I buy you a drink" line.

an excellent response that the bitchy friend deserved. when you had the chance alone during her interrogation, you should have told her to drop dead.
and I don't think you did anything wrong. I do not expect a guy to buy me a drink. If he offers, I do not instantly think he's interested. I consider it polite. I'd return the favor.
believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.

Yeh, but according to your story she was sitting there with an EMPTY glass while her friend did the 'I'll sort the drinks out' bit.
Anyway, this situation is even not just about the opposite sex... I've been brought up with the rounds system. If I'm chatting to somebody and we're having a conversation, if I'm going to the bar I offer them a drink whether they're male or female. It's just polite and it's a way of saying to someone 'you're cool, I'm buying you a drink so you can chat to me for longer'. Usually they return the favour... if they don't then ya start the judging I just hate cheap bastards, regardless of the sex.

The girl I was talking to never asked for a drink. Yes she had an empty glass. We were having a good conversation about our lives, studying work etc. When her friend put the 'hard word on me' the girl was obviously disturbed with her friends behaviour. In the little communication we have had since the event she has apologised profusely. I have no doubt in my mind that she wasn't a part of her friends little plan.
Are you suggesting that they were both in on the 'drink scam' cause that wasn't my read on it. Their situation was they used to work with each other and this was the first time they had seen each other in 3 years. From what the girl said to me, I don't think their friendship will last the test of time.

If my friend did that, I'd tell her to shut up... I wouldn't just sit there while she was talking 'on my behalf'.
It's possible that they WERE both in on it... but I wasn't there so it could well be what you were saying. But why didn't she either say 'shut up' or go get her own drink while this was going on. If I had an empty glass and my friend was telling someone to buy me a drink I would asy 'I don't want one right now' (not likely lol) or I'd go get it myself if I was uncomfortable with the situation... I wouldn't just wait there uncomfortably to see how it pans out. You bought her the drink in the end, didn't you?

Yes I did buy her a drink. She did say "He doesn't need to buy me a drink' My read on it is that they weren't in on it together. Still doesn't excuse the friends behaviour.
