There shalt be no picking up of thine date!
I think women have an irrational fear of letting me pick them at their homes to go out somewhere. We're talking Freudian levels of avoidance. Run away from Christine levels of visceral terror. Seriously, I am developing a complex. I haven't had an accident since I was 17. I haven't had a ticket since I was 27. I drive a hot convertible. I have comprehensive. I like to drive to out of the way places to pick them up, I'm like that.
Now, if it was a first date or something, I could understand meeting out so as to make sure I'm not some sort of random axe-murderer or a democrat or something, but I have gotten the same thing from ladies that I already know where they live, and have spent decent amounts of time with.
I really do understand the convenience issue. Yes, meeting in the middle is easier. Yes, it will save me gas for my 36mpg MR2 and some random minutes I already had planned into the trip. And yes, I would still prefer to pick them up. I guess I am old-fashioned like that. Apparently I...must...leave...1956... I don't know, I also always thought most girls loved to primp to the last minute and make the guy wait. It certainly makes it easier to kiss them goodnight on their doorstep. Little did I know!
Am I crazy? I don't have a lot of single friends so it's hard to know. If you're a guy, do you pick up a girl? If you're a girl, do you want to be picked up? Is that old-fashioned and politically incorrect nowadays?
T, not driving.

I'm with you on this one. Back when I was on dating scene, it just seems like the right thing to do.(maybe it is old fashioned)

T, I am old fashion too! More than that I like being pampered! Now dont get me wrong, I am not playing sides here, I understand that, whomever you are speaking, of *Cough, Tami, Cough*, is just trying to be considerate of your time and milage ;)
I do hate driving though, so yes you can pick me up anytime! Shoot, I almost asked you to take me to get my contacts on lunch yesterday so I would not have to drive and get them ;)
Okay I have rambled enough! AKBar out!
PS. I am sure Tami will read this and since I have no way of ever contacting her, I want to say HELLO! Please come to my house on Wednesday, I want to see you again =)

one should know by now,T, that tammy is a practical girl, almost incapable of thinking outside the realm of logic. it only makes sense to her that meeting in the middle is more fair and sensible than you being "put out" -- a waste of gas. she's had her big girl pants on so long, she forgets sometimes where her girly pants are. plus, she's used to driving (when we go out), because i hate to. in my book, old fashioned guys rock (the libertarian in me loves political incorrectness), and she should keep her trap shut and be flattered. this may be my last comment posted, because she's probably going to kill me for that one....
