couple of dates go out and shewanted to pick the day that was her
(03:21):
birthday. This was the first daybirth birthday, so first date on her
birthday. Yeah, and like shelike she she wanted to do it on
that day. It wasn't like Isuggested that, and it happened to be.
She was like, no, let'sdo it on my birthday okay.
And and then you know, soI said, okay, it's a little
(03:42):
weird, but I sent restaurant ideasand then she sent back, like a
restaurant you want to go to thatwas like so expensive, like because and
you know, birthday special dinners.Yeah, it's just and I was like,
I'm not, you know, I'mnot. I'm not her boyfriend.
The burden is being put on man. Don't you have friends or family on
(04:05):
your birthday? Okay, all right, so what did you do? So?
I mean we went and I Idid not plan on spending the amount
of money that spent. I spent, but you know, I tried.
I tried to be nice because youknow, her birthday. And then after
(04:27):
I after I buy this like thesame meal, she says, what else
do you have plans? Your princecharming and your prince charming you got to
provide. What did you have plans? Where did you take her? It's
(04:48):
a firsthday. I don't know thislady. Did you buy her a gifts
or anything? I bought the Didyou at least get like free birthday cake
or free to They're not of it. They did the thing. She made
them do the thing you know wherethe waiters they happy birthday. It sounds
(05:10):
like a more expensive place than that. So what okay? So what happens
next? Then? Was that You'relike, no, I don't have anything
else planned. It was nice tomeet you, and then you got out.
Yeah. I was like I triedto make a joke out of it.
I was like, I plan towalk around the block. And we
walked and then that was that wasit. We parted ways and she said
(05:30):
it was the best birthday ever,And I was like, got it.
That's a lot to ask of afirst date. Let me. I forgot
to mention that marcis here, Marcithat I mean, come on, that's
you haven't even met this person andyou're asking him to spring for a really
expensive dinner on your birthday. Don'tyou have other people in your life who
could do that for you? ButI told him it was my birthday,
okay, and birthdays are special andhe should have known that this is what
(05:53):
I was gonna want. I mean, this is kind of an obvious thing
to me. I gotta say,though, if he had suggested the day
and then you're like, well,that's my birthday and he's like, no,
no, no, let me takeyou out for your birthday. But
you said, let's do it onmy birthday. This is the day that
I want you to take me out, and here's where I want you to
take me. I mean, hedidn't really have a choice. Listen.
(06:14):
If he can't whine and dine methe way that I want on my birthday,
then I mean maybe he just willnever understand what I want. Ever
in a relationship, can you sayit looks a little a little your boyfriend
looks a little greedy. I mean, it looks a little a little.
I mean it's not the best look. Well, I've been wined and dined
really nicely before on a first date, so I don't see why I should
(06:38):
settle for anything less than that.But don't you think the guy or the
girl whoever's doing the asking, don'tyou think that person should get to decide
what kind of dat it is isa post. I mean, if I
can tell you right now, ifI on a first date, if someone's
like, we're going to the mostexpensive restaurant in town. Actually, Jason
Brown did this to me. Butif if if someone did that, I
would be like, well, areyou into me? Or you are you
(07:00):
just trying to get a really expensivefree dinner on your birthday? No?
I wasn't trying to use him atall like that. I just thought that
he would want to do something specialfor me for my birthday. He doesn't
know. Wasn't there anyone else youwanted to spend it with? You know?
Did you have friends? Of courseI have friends, but I just
think that I wanted but you didn'twant them. Yeah, because they have
(07:21):
they have a planned party on theweekend. You didn't want that a nice
place for you. I just standby what I want and I don't think
there's anything wrong with that. Fairenough, fair enough, Jed, Look
that's your explanation. Would you considergiving her another shot? Maybe you guys
go to a more reasonable place insteadthe next birthday? Or like? Is
(07:45):
it just any time? No,I'm not interested. This is this is
it's so I hate this. Youwant me to make this special day for
you. That first day is supposedto be special for both people, and
I just feel like, frankly,like I was like being exploited or something.
You don't have to do it yet. I mean, you could have
(08:05):
just said no. But then Iget the day. It never would have
happened. I guess, so hetook the chance. Yeah, I gave
it a shot. I I myfears were confirmed at the moment she started
ordering, And yeah, I mean, if if this is how you meet
people, I don't. I don'twant to know how the rest goes.
You're the one who DMed me,so I'll make sure to check the person's
(08:28):
birthday next time. Six months away, let's go. Oh, you just
celebrated. This is great, Marcia. I'm sorry we couldn't work it out
for you, but best selected bothof you. Okay,
