I've met a girl some time ago. Damn. I had decided it would never happen again. My last two experiences with women left me soured to the point of becoming *very* particular with regard to women I interact with. I've refrained from dating for almost 8 years.
This girl does seems to be a good match though. She looks good, well groomed, but really plain. Almost no frills. That's good. Speaks her mind to the point of possibly being called blunt, introverted, and she seems to have no use for small talk (or a three month flirting session). That's better. Simplicity for the win. In short, I like her.
We got to chatting, discussing activities and restaurants, and I asked her out. She accepted the invitation. So far, so good.
(Snip a too long part.)
Leave it to me to select a restaurant that has been sold and changed into quite a... high-end place, shall we say. (Something which I *didn't* know.) Think formal clothing, and €250 for dinner for two.
**** ****. I wanted this to be a date, not a setup for a marriage proposal 
The only chance I've got is to tell her it's now Italian (which we didn't discuss), and hope she doesn't want to go there. I wonder how I'm going to fix this, because I feel such a restaurant is a bit over the top. |
She's a no-frills, introvert, plain speaking person. Just tell her the truth. "The restaurant has changed since I was last there. It's now a homongously expensive, really fancy place. Where else would you like to try?" Or, "Let's try this one instead."
Us introverted, plain speaking types probably don't even LIKE really fancy-schmancy restaurants.
Just tell her.
