Over the last 4 weeks or so, I’ve spent about $450 between two different girls (If you recall I was dating a hot Italian girl, but I’ve recently upgraded to the Persian express.) Call me crazy… For some reason this new girl I’m dating just really freaking like going to the movies, and last night was no exception. She just HAD to see Pirates of the Caribbean 3 — and I just had to take her. I didn’t really mind to be quite honest, afterall she did make me dinner, and you know, when I’m sprung money is no object.

Last night we decided to go to my favorite AMC since they had late shows. As she parked her car (cause I was too drunk to drive) and we approached the theater she starts going on and on about how she wanted popcorn. Recalling our recent dinner, I couldn’t see how she was going to fit anything else into that sexy body. But hey, if the lady wants popcorn who am I to deny her? I kept mentally kicking myself in the butt on just how much that was going to cost me…

We walked up to the ticket counter and I went to throw down yet another $20 on a movie for the 12am showing of PoC3 when something went off in my head. Sure Ms. Persia made me a very filling dinner only hours before, and sure I drank up all her Bacardi, but still I have been throwing money around and it had to come to a stop. The only way I could think to end the madness was to stop being sprung or at least change course. So as I was escorting my lovely guest down the red AMC carpet, I grabbed her by the hand and dragged her to a quiet intersection.

Slightly drunk and mildly aggressive I pulled her close to me and said: “Baby, I just wanna know what’s up with us.”

To which she hesitated, “Let’s talk about this later.”

I replied, “It’s not because I’m drunk is it?”

She laughed.

I think she was enjoying my drunkenness teasing me about this or that and trying to distract me from my train of thought, but I was hellbent on an answer. She had made several statements suggesting that certain parts of my body were now her property, and if she was going to go around making those kinds of claims I had to call her on her bluff.

Several attempts to change the subject later she starts getting even more coy, and I’m like “You gonna answer my question?”

“What question?”

*me rolling my eyes*

“Getting technical on me.. eh?”

I pulled her towards me and pushed back only so slightly to look her in the eye and make my intentions clear.

I squinted my eyes at her and with all the confidence in the world I said: “I want to know if I can be yer man!”

Again she replies, “I’ll answer you later.”

–“What do you mean later?!”

–“Fine, yes. Yes. Yes!” And she ended her barrage of yeses with a kiss.

So we continued our little conversation for a minute and headed towards the movie. After convincing a row of 12 people to move down one seat, I had my hotness next to me just as coy as ever. Right before the movie was getting ready to start I was feeling rather generous and asked her if she wanted anything, which of course she did. (What is it with you ladies always wanting something? ) So I went to drop another $10 on candies and I strike up a conversation with the cutie working the counter.

(Don’t forget that I was still slightly drunk, so I was capable of just about anything haha.)

“Don’t you feel bad charging a cute guy like me this much money for candy?”

She laughs.

“I mean, at this hour, I should get like free popcorn or something don’t you think?”

*me winking*

She replies, “Well if it were just a little later I might have to agree with you. You are cute.”

After reminding myself of my freshly minted boyfriend badge, I conceded to the fact that she just was not going to get me the hook up. I brought my girl back her candies, and determined to get a hookup on popcorn, I went back out to the counter to try again…

Suffice it to say I came back with a large bag of popcorn and a large coke without having paid a dime. But I’m not going to tell you just how I did that …

Anyway — Amazing how a bit of will power can drive you to reach your goal. haha. Oh and being drunk helps lol.

*sigh*

Unfortunately asking her to date me didn’t really work out as I had hoped in cutting my costs. I need to think of somethings I can do with her that don’t cost money ( I can think of one.. lol) but for now eh… Well we’ll see just how much more money I spend tonight at the club!

*cries*

Damage last night $20 (movie) + $10 (candy)+ $20 (teddy bear) = $50.

Damage the night before that $34 (dinner)

Update: Where is she now? I have no idea.
