Cake-face bought me a shot . . . now what?

[Keller]

Saturday night I went to Bar Copa in Santa Monica to my friend Radhika's b-day party. It was a pretty sweet night. Her friend owns the bar/club so we had a little private section all to ourselves. In addition, all of our drinks were free. Needless to say I was one drunk little Keller.

Well midnight rolls around and Radi's boyfriend brings out the cake he baked for her and we all sing happy birthday. Cake is had and we all go back to socializing. And by socializing I mean binge drinking. Well in my drunken stupor I hatch this totally unique plan. I'm going to ask the people around me if they've smelled the cake yet and pounce on the first sucker to put their face within 6 inches of the whipped white frosting. As luck would have it this chick Bridget practically shoves her own face into the cake and only needed a little push from me. Raucus laughter and a small food fight ensues. I loaned Bridget my hat so she could wash her face off and when she came back she had two shots -- one for me and one for her.

Now needless to say this proves two things. One, how cool this girl is that she would buy me a shot after I shoved her cake in icing. And two, how much of a dick I am for not buying her a shot first.

So the question is now what? What can I do to repay her awesomeness? Girls like candy, right? I'm not sure she wants a shot first thing Monday morning, but maybe a starbucks double-shot?

Angry Dragon.

Definitely.

[Sean of the Thread]

Pearl necklace in exchange for a shot is a win/win.

[Himmy]

Yeah, you need to donkeypunch her. That's the best way you could say thanks. Trust me.

[CrystalTears]

Taking any kind of dating advice from Xyelin is just bad.

[Snapp]

:drool: Mmm, double shot sounds yum right now.

And as far as her buying you a shot, wasn't the alcohol free? So it's no biggie right?

[HarmNone]

Taking her to dinner would be great; especially, if you can refrain from getting any of the food on her person. Flowers and candy with a nice card, personally delivered, would be lovely, as well. Heck, you might end up with a dinner date in addition. :)

[Snapp]

I don't know if his wife would like that, HN.

[HarmNone]

If it were me, I wouldn't mind. It's not like there's a romantic involvement. It's just in repayment of a friendly action. :shrug:

If it were my girl on the receiving end and not me doing the giving I don't know if I would be completely cool with it. On the other hand Kellers wife might be really cool with him doing something so extremely gracious.

I'd stick with a nice card and a double latte or some quality chocolates. You can't go wrong with giving a girl some of that sweet stuff.

[Artha]

I'd go with Wezas or Xyelin's advice.

[HarmNone]

Heh. I guess I just don't get the hang of jealousy. I'd be thrilled that my man was so considerate.

[crazymage]

Wait so he's married and hes asking advice on how to repay some girl who bought him a free shot? Here's my advice, take your wife out to dinner and pretend it never happened.

I agree 100% with Sergey.

Hit her up with a Starbucks gift card.

I agree with sergey. not to be a dick, but it could be easily misunderstood by either your wife or her. I've done nice things for girls and I'd say roughly 90% of the time it's turned down or misunderstood and it just leads to an awkward situation in the future. One girl basically fell in love with me because I walked her home at like 3 AM in the heart of Boston. Otherwise she would have walked home alone and I wasn't going to let a friend do that. So I walked her home, nothing happened, and she thought we should be dating after that. I had a girlfriend but she didn't care and she continued not to care as she tried for the next year following that until I had to break off the friendship. I lost another friend by inviting her out to dinner just as a way of saying I had a good time. We were at a bar the night before, buying each other drinks and dancing. It was fun, so I did the friendly thing. She thought I wanted a relationship, I didn't ... now we don't talk anymore because it was uncomfortable.

Well, I wouldn't be jealous as much as I'd be a tad uncomfortable with all the extra attention another man is giving my woman. I think it would be a natural response, but maybe that's just me speaking from experience. My girl didn't think I was being considerate at all... not one bit. :(

I would go with your first instinct.. double shot of Starbucks. It doesn't say "I want to get in your pants" like dinner does and it's a nice fun gesture.

:yeahthat:

Anything involving a card candy or an invite to dinner will only lead to grief from either your wife or the other lady.

[SpunGirl]

Give her a gift certificate to something she likes. Like, make sure she doesn't hate coffee if you do Starbucks. If she reads a lot go with BN or Borders. Pedicure. Something like that.

Or hey! Be witty. Give her a gift cert for a spa facial and say, "hope the cake didn't clog your pores too bad."

[HarmNone]

Heh. It would never occur to me to doubt the guy I love. It would also never occur to me to put the hit on someone who was involved with someone else. I guess I'm warped. :spaz:

[Makkah]

This might be the dumbest fucking thread I've ever read. The saving grace is the fact that I got to see DeV's new avatar which is totally hot.

[Dwarven Empath]

Relax, she probably pissed in your shot. To get even with you for the face in the cake.

:nono:

[Satira]

I happen to agree with Sergey. I just feel like in this situation you don't know how your wife feels, or how this girl would take the gestures. Get your wife a double-shot on Monday, not the chick.

It's less about having no trust and more about being naive.
