KhonKaenKowboy Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 At T21.....been out of the game for several years. Found this woman online and we clicked. Similar age...I am a young retirement extension holder. She mentioned coffee and I mentioned the duck in the food court. She thought that was a good idea. So she lives around there...is that in itself a red flag? I am looking for a new GF...not just a shag, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhonKaenKowboy Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 To continue....this date just has a bit different dynamic than usual. Being about half a beer walk to hundreds, if not thousands, of other ladies is part of it. Will this work for me or against me? Anyone meet a date at T21...seems like there are so many possible outcomes. Do I want to sleep with her on the first date? Quite possibly..and if she wasn't up for it by the second, we would part. Neither of us are youngsters, maybe even more reason to not waste a lot of time. And the thought of taking her shopping in there or watching her pick at her food at a 6000 THB dinner tab, almost makes me queasey. Give me some scenarios...if you have recent experience. I know TF is a mixed bag, with some of the worst of the worst scammers on there. I am sure some of the guys pull their weight in the scam department, too. But does this sound like a SOP or MO for scammer girls these days? If she simply told me she wanted money to sleep with me, I certainly wouldn't be outraged. "Whew, you want 1000 for sex, geez, I was worried you wanted steak and a bottle of wine at some pretentious rooftop rat trap.". I hope some of you can relate. Smart arse comments are welcome, as long as they are humorous. At what point should I take my losses and head for the Nana car park for a real date? Thanks!

hoxman Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Before you made a date with her, did you find out anything about her? Is the date in early evening? There are a lot of banks and other big businesses in that immediate area. Also close to the interchange between MRT and BTS that a lot of people travel through. Time to talk to her, get to know her a little before the date. But what you have to lose? T21 food court is inexpensive, give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meom Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 LOL. At what time does Nana car park open for dating? I just to say goodbye to a few dates at T21 after stumbling out of Penny Black around noon. Steak Lao (2nd or 3rd floor) won't break the bank for a rejuvenating meal assuming you're planning to walk to Nana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likeke Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I used to meet my dates at the Starbucks at T21. Not expensive, and easy to get up and leave if necessary. Another good meet up location is the lobby of the Landmark Hotel. Just to the right as you walk in there are couches to sit and chat for awhile. I even used it to sell stuff on Gregg's list.

williamgeorgeallen Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 you need to go on 3 dates, not just one. if you go 3 dates and she still has not asked for money you have found a good one, or maybe i should have said one of the better ones. good luck by the way, thai woman are easy to shag, but hard to date.

KIWIBATCH Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Have met 4 via TF and dispensed with them all....99% gold diggers/scammers.....75% of their photos on TF are not a true resemblance to their physical when meeting ...yes... there may well be some genuines amongst them...but damn hard to tell...but keep trying...good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's Gregg's list? Greggs sell pies and cakes in the UK. I suppose when she saw the size of your hot meat pies it very near turned her head![emoji102] Sent from my SM-G920F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterw42 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I had my first date with my now wife at T21. I sort of get what the OP is asking. Meeting a girl in the middle of bar girl central, is she a bar girl etc. She is thinking, why is he staying in Bar girl central etc. The thing is with online dating, you can do some vetting and filtering upfront before you meet, no surprises. its a great way of meeting normal Thai girls and potential partners. There is an aspect of stepping outside your comfort zone when dating, the risk of being set up for a free meal, a bar girl looking for business etc. In my experience the negatives were very rare and I met lots of great girls.

DoctorG Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 First meeting should be coffee only. You don't want to have to sit through a whole meal with somebody that you have no interest in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but if you have used the online dating site, have been chatting etc, you are meeting someone you have something in common etc. You both have an interest. Thats the beauty of online, you can meet the one that gets your jokes, likes the same music etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulic Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I would not call the girls on TF scammers and gold diggers. They are of course many, many freelancers just making a living. That said I doubt someone of a similar age to you is "playing" on Thai Friendly. You can tell which ones are pretty quickly looking at their profiles. Of course you know when Photo Shop is overused the person you meet will not resemble the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z42 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Go free and easy. Be cool. Have a coffee and a chat, if there is some spark there and she seems cool enough then maybe prolong it or arrange a different kind of date for another day. You'll see that way if she is interested in making it happen then. I do miss the dating game here, waaay too much fun to be had. Plenty of nice girls in this country, employ 2 rules... 1, follow the girl's lead, and 2, think with your head (the one on your shoulders).... And remember good girls don't want to appear too easy, so take your time and enjoy the experience of her company..
