No I'm not a drug dealer. But it gets wierd I'm telling you. Because sometimes its all expenses paid for me and a freind. Now that throws a twist in things. Ok I like the finer things in life but actually live quite conservative. But picture being invited to a show, all accomidations paid, dressing to the 9's and being able to bring a date. This is where it becomes awkward. Picking the right date for the situation. The right person. Gets wierder than you could imagine.

ohhhhhhhhh an eenie meenie miney moe kinda night or you cant find the right one to bring?

Weird like...if you ask someone and she accepts but then gets this impression of how this is always going to be , you know all the good things, but then you ,being a conservative living kinda guy, want to do "normal stuff" and she like totally freaks on you ??? Sorry LHB just tryin to understand

UHHHHHHHHHH conservative??? look at all the guitars he has!!!

oh and bikes and god what else he has!!!

What are you blathering on about biker? I don't care if you take the Lear jet to the grocery store because it's in your contract. That has NOTHING to do with who pays for dinner on a date.

Yes, if it's in your retainer to have all of those expenses covered then it is a professional perk of your relationship with these musicians. You don't now the difference between a professional relationship and an intimate relationship?

P.S. - If you know all these awesome rock stars and influential people I find it HILARIOUS that you're home on a Friday night bragging about your connections and "perks" on the internet.

well I find him interesting and funny......

Why does he have to be out all the time???? Maybe he is tired of the gorgeous playmates he has been with and wants to find someone normal......

oh snaps Saturn just brought the ether.

she has a point.. how can you talk about proffesional relationships vs intimate relationships? this thread is about apples and you are bringing me dingle berries ...wtf?

I always pay but if there's nothing more than one date,she better pay me back later!

What the hell do I know. I'm sure he's got the ladies dripping off of each arm. I'm sure he doesn't need to go online to find a date. All the women he knows are probably just after his money and he wants to find someone pure of heart. He doesn't want women to use him for his connections and wealth so that's why he's careful not to mention all his "perks". It's like that movie Coming To America. He works at a fast food joint but he's really a prince in disguise!

It becomes complicated. Hey babe we are going out to dinner with so and so rock band. Everythings paid for. We just have to look nice and have fun. Please do not be starstruck and hang on them. They are people with lives, children, and problems too. Please do not stick a camera in the lead singers face or we will be asked to leave. The band has three very important rules: rule #1 don't ask for a free t shirt. They make their money off their t shirts and if you ask you will most probably get yelled at. Rule #2 don't ask for a backstage pass. The band has had some stolen and used to sneak into shows. But if offered one take it. If offered anything whether it be food, clothing, or amenities take them because it has been paid for in their contract. If the band is flying out at 3 am and they have hotel suites with jacuzzis and give you the key card for the suite, take it and enjoy it because its paid for and somebody should enjoy it because they will be on an airplane to their next destination. And rule#3 and most important. If invited on the tour bus don't take a sh!t on the tour bus. Its cramped quarters in there and its their home somedays and noone wants to smell your sh!t. Now here's a contract to sign saying you won't hold the band liable for anything with a hold harmless clause. How would you like to have a date like that everyone. So you want to be a rockstar?

I know, I know. You feel so sorry for me. Don't get me wrong folks. I PAY! On dinner dates with someone of the opposite sex. But in other circumstances that I have to deal with it gets strange.can you now relate just a little?

You don't know me from adam. I could be the biggest bullsh!tter in the world. Or a namedropper. Superliar. Yeh I like that! I will say it again. I try not to divulge too much information not for my defense but for the protection of my freinds. And trust me I'm not at home on a friday night. I'm on my blackberry pearl with all expansion cards and bluetooth and auto dictation talking to you over satellite. Notice I can't send emiticons? Smiley faces?

i couldnt type on a blackberry. the buttons are too little

I talk into it and it types for me. Vocal command.

I shoulda just stopped at I pay for all dates unless there is mitigating circumstances.

Thank you LHB, I understand now.

let him pay for the room. you pay for the beer!!! omg!!!!

I usually offer to pay my way, at least on the first date. After that, I will try to pick up the check now and then.
