I was out with my mate on Saturday night, and these 2 ladies called us over to their table where they were sitting. We were talking a while, I had my eyes on one girl, and my mate was my wing man. Anyhow, this girl my friend was talking to (An absolute bitch) starts saying how I was rude... I asked why She said "You should buy my friend a drink" I said "I will, but as soon as I finish my drink I will go to the bar"

She then says "In Switzerland where I am from, if a lady finishes her drink, then the man must go straight away and get her a new one. You are so rude blah blah blah"

I said "I have every intention to buy your friend a drink but when I am finished mine" This went on and on, I would of left, but the other girl seemed to be quite interested in me. About 5 minutes after I got her a drink.

Soon after my mate went to the toilet, and the girl went to the atm, and this bitch started quizzing me "Are you a virgin? When was the last time you had a girlfriend? How long did it last? Why did it end?"

I ended up getting the girls number but was what I did rude? She says in Europe the girl would run away if I did not get her a drink as soon as she finishes her last. Is this true??

Man she was a nasty piece of work.

    I think she likes you..... She was just flirting. (Not very well, but that's what it sounds like to me).

    Ah good read, Well I actually picked that vibe up. She said that she would never date me because I was too rude.

    Then after the little quiz she gave me, she started nodding, and smiling whiling giving me 'seductive eyes'. I kept saying "What? what do you want" "I knew what she wanted, but she was a cow. She was keen on me, but she was a bitch.

    I'm not European, but I would be flattered if you bought me a drink when YOU wanted too. Not because someone is telling you to.

    As far as I know, there are no hard and fast rules (granted I've been out of the dating game a loooong time now), maybe things have changed :? ;)

    Basically, she just sounds like a bitch, but maybe she was her girlfriends "wingman." ;):D (Although she sounds about as subtle as a bag of hammers dropping on your head! :roll: )

    you should have asked the rude friend to get drinks for both of you so you could keep talking. 8-)

    That girl is a bitch. I mean if you keep getting her drinks whenever she finishes, it would seem like you're trying to get her drunk.

    Doesn't sound like you were rude at all.

    I am Swiss and I should be ashamed about this fellow-countrywoman - she was talking absolute nonsense and seems to have bad manners herself.

    this could have been easily resolved by a swift punch to the fudd :)

    i never bought girls drinks... seems a bit 1900 for me... they want equality... well let them buy their own :)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    no ya didnt do anything wrong man. personally i love when girls go on the offensive like that, cos its a great chance to just have fun with them (either by being a bit cheeky with it, or by just offending them). One way you get the girl, and both ways you get a bit of a laugh.

    It's not because you consider it 'old fashion' (what an excuse!), it's because you are a tight, penny pinching scotsman!

    Women don't have wingmen (or wingwomen).
    They have 'cockblockers' ;)

    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.
