Certainly makes dating interesting page 3

I disagree with some people here. Unless you're looking for a fling, being upfront as early as possible is a good thing in most cases.

Dude owns the chain of subway shops, is a multi-billionaire, and was blown off by a chick who doesn't do wheat. Now that's funny.

Out east...I have a friend. He talks about "grinder shops" Sub shops are the big thing out there...I think he was just trying to make conversation, by talking about something she was familiar with to make her comfortable.

But what do I know about dating..I've been married for 40 years.

My response wasn't me being a picky "princess" just about me being basically honest, and not a naturally very flirty person . I generally don't discuss my diet with anyone unless it's sort of imperative I do so (like they're gonna shove a piece of cake at me if I don't tell them lol). Even then I keep it low key. I just don't want to give some guy the impression that I like something I don't, or later (if there is a later) it's going to make me seem dishonest!

Honestly, I actually don't care THAT much about my partner's dietary choices if they make an effort to be fit/healthy etc. As long as we can live and let live, I'm cool with that. Sure it can be a PITA having to organise different meals for different people but meh... if you're with someone who you really click with that doesn't matter so much!

I just don't see a problem being upfront with a guy when he asks something random about your food choices!

The key is to know what he's really asking (like zoe said)

If you're looking for some amazing prince, you're likely looking in the wrong place. I met my DH when I was 19, so I never went to bars looking for a date. But guys at bars looking for a date are going to ask generic questions to weed out girls, like zoe suggested. No one is saying you should be dishonest, just know that it's light banter in a bar and don't make it a serious conversation.

Well, I guess he didn't pass the flirt test with me because he's got to do better than ask me my favorite sandwich shop. The other day a guy asked me if I'd like an opportunity to take a whiz in the Reagan Library. Now that piqued my interest.

Wow, poor guys!

Now I understand why the good ones have taken themselves off the market and just sit at the bar instead of approaching girls.

One can be honest while still being fun! People read waaaaaay too much into casual bar conversations.

Yeah, I feel sorry for some of the dudes mentioned in this thread. I'm sure it takes quite a bit of courage to approach a stranger at the bar and strike up a conversation.
