No need to come here to say I wOuLd NeVeR pAy FoR tO hAvE dINnEr WiTh A sP

We don’t care.

The game:

You’re having dinner with a sp and someone you know recognizes you and comes to talk to you. They ask how you met. What do you say?


Do you come up with a good plausible lie or do you say something so crazy that the interlocutor understands that it means mind your business ? Or maybe you just get up and start running

Hope to never be in that situation. But if it will be the case, I will probably come with a good plausible lie.

“We met through a common friend of ours.”
“We met through an online dating site.”

I’ve experienced the scenario you mentioned & these are my two top excuses that i’ve used which were actually true when you think about it.

Lie. Depending on who it is, I would say colleagues or a friend. Hopefully never happens.

This happened to me, but the other way around. A couple years ago I went on a 4-hour date (2 hours of social time + 2 hours in intimacy). She was a beautiful woman her 30's. I'm in my 60's. At one point during the meal, the conversation quickly turned from light and engaging to awkward silence. When I inquired, she told be that she had just seen someone she knew well, but who had no idea about her sideline. I felt terrible, but at the same time, a bit upset that this random encounter was potentially spoiling our evening. I was left wondering why the SP, who knew my age ahead of time, would agree to go out in public with me knowing such a run-in was possible. I suggested we end the meal quickly (no dessert and coffee) and retreat to her incall, which we did. The rest of the evening was fantastic, but I always felt bad for what had transpired at the restaurant, for her and for me.

With imagination, one can make a half-lie:

Let me introduce you to ‘’X’’, my current bowling partner. She is very talented; she showed me a special technique for handling balls. Since that, when we play together, I always shoot on goal quickly and smoothly. We were talking about her second passion, horse riding. She also has great skills for riding a stallion…

Good point, on both sides it is a risk to accept to go out in public. You might run into people you know and you need to be comfortable with that and the questions that might come later

It happened to me once. The girl and I were in an arrangement, so we went out once in a while. When asked, i would just tell she was rhe daughter of an old friend. She needed some mentoring. It worked because we were in regular restaurant and weren't giving any hints we were also intimate.
But if i was flirting with a woman in a restaurant. Getting caught would require that i come forward to the person i know, hoping to buy his/her silence.

When I lived and worked in Montreal circa 2007 to 2010. I remember being "caught" out in public with co-workers and they asked. The first time I was asked I replied "Oh we met online." This was at Aux Vivres. Second time was at the now closed Crudessence. Ran into a co-worker and was asked this same question. This time the SP replied "Oh we met online." Well we are not lying btw just didn't get into specifics.

Interesting scenario that I have thought about since I have gone out on a few dîner dates with a fantastic SP I met 6 months ago. I’ve given some though on what I would say if bumped into someone I know. I would most definitely lie about it. I would pretend she is a business client and leave it at that and leave the person wondering. We generally don’t show signs that we are also intimate so it would normally be plausible…. Maybe that person would also think that I have an incredibly gorgeous client but that is also plausible I guess??? . I guess it is a calculated risk to enjoy a good time with a wonderful lady…. I have not though of the other scénario however where the rôles are reversed…. I guess I would adapt and help her as best I can and go with the story she puts together…

I overthink everything so I have a story built for each scenario if I'm out with someone in public, from who they are to how we met to what led to our being out together at that time and depending on who I run into. Sometimes you're a family friend, sometimes actual family, but often just a work associate/investor/potential partner (esp. if it's a nice restaurant or something). I have a story for the gifts I bring too. Only had to pull the ripcord once and the lady ran so smooth with it that I doubt they gave it a second thought after saying their 'hellos and goodbyes'. You would laugh at the personas I've invented out of whole cloth.

Also, I do find it surprising how often I see pics on social media of providers constantly at the restaurants I've gone with them to. Like the Marcus has to recognize some providers by now, the number of times I've seen those bathroom pics come up lol.

Yes there’s a place that’s seen me with 2-3 men in the same month. The guy at the bar knows me and just smiles, he probably knows

Lol I knew it! It doesn't really matter to me but I find it funny that you'd want to frequent the same spots (not from an identification standpoint but more bc there's so many great restaurants around).

I can explain why in private but will not explain publicly for multiple reasons
