Fifty-One Minutes

A new study suggests that 51 minutes is all the average person can manage of a date that has started to go downhill. The survey of 2,000 adults was carried out in the U.K. ~ The Grauniad.

It could be even less than 51 minutes, I suppose: but why?

What excuses could one credibly use to leave before a mere hour had passed?

I'm gregarious.

I haven't been in a situation where I couldn't get conversation going.

I had a date there on Sunday night, as soon as I saw her i knew it wasn't going anywhere. But of course you chat and have the date... She wouldn't stop talking, lasted almost 2 hours. I should be more rude, even paid for the damn beer. Money and time I'm never getting back.

Beer was good though.

What was your question again?

"Are you interested in coming to the white power meeting?"

I'm sure that would end the date.
Or...she says yes and you live happily ever after 🤗

I've never actually "dated" anyone.
I've been in relationships but it was never like the cliche movie dating scenes 🤔

What made you not want to bail out early?

I wanted to, she wanted to stay longer, i said they were closing. I thought they closed at 11, we were the last two there but apparently they stayed open until 12. Coffee first date is the best, doesn't last that long. I didn't want to be rude and leave.

Had a first date once that lasted for 14 hours without sex, spent all night chatting on a park bench then had breakfast. That was nice.

I would always go to a bar where you can seek refuge in alcohol. In fact that is what I always did on all first dates. Funny but even with the foxy ones it all usually went horribly wrong.

I told you not to wear those cardigans.

Did you ever try staying sober? 🙂

I think it may have something to do with calling them the foxy ones 😂

Met a woman on tinder in Thailand a few years back... Her profile was set at 26. When we matched she said was actually 30 something, i was 31/32 at the time so didn't really care.

Looked through her pictures and thought I'll need to shirt up for this meeting. My only sleeveless shirt i travelled with. Was a day date, she picked me up and drove around the island a bit.

The shirt was a good call... She wore a dress with her boobs sticking out, honestly thought they were fake at first. Great body, a bit nuts but nice girl. Completely stunning.

Spent the day together and went back to her hotel for drinks... Now the thought process starts... How can this lead to spending the night together. Talked about massages so asked, do you want a massage?

She said yes and had breakfast together the next day.

I find if you're just confident and act naturally things tend to happen. But looking she was clearly looking for some fun with a foreigner.

That helps. The foreigner card 😂

I have found many women like to play with a foreigner. Learned that back in my early 20's. 🙂

Man, You must be saying all the wrong things, or coming on too strong.

You got a date with a munter, you paid for the drinks …and she drank beer. Sounds like one of your Latin American lady boy nights to me.
