2. Not me ...
But while I was waitressing, I was asked out a few times. I always said no, but one guy was very persistent & pretty damn cute - so I finally agreed.

It didn't work out.

5. I've asked the guy at the drive up window... not technically a waiter...
He was gay, so it didn't work out so well.

I just said, "Hey you're cute... wanna go out sometime?"

11. So?
If so then that's her problem, isn't it?

Am I a little sociopathic, maybe?

18. Exactly, the humiliation factor would be too much...
...then again, I'm getting married so I won't have to worry about dating ever again. It's one of the advantages to holy matrimony and civil unions.

Edited on Thu May-26-05 05:55 PM by tigereye
no, here's a story. I was a waitress at this small town joint near my hometown, very small town, when I was in college. Mostly just farmers old enough to be my grandfather came in. But one day this saleman ( I think he was a salesman) came in, and I waited on him and his buddies. And then as he was leaving, he asked me out. ( must have been the uniform, I guess.) He wasn't really my type, but I said ok. Guess I was bored that summer! Oh, wait, my BF had gone back to Cincinnati, that was it. I was staying with my parents that summer... so he picked me up there. And then! He took me to his place! Where we ate take-out! including corn on the cob! Which he slathered with butter as he described things some other woman had done to him and various parts of his anatomy on his last date! Things that I had no intention of doing! Ever! And after that we watched TV! I said, take me home! That was a very bad date. Guess he thought waitresses put out, but he was wrong! ;)

And that was the LAST TIME I went out with anyone who asked me out when I was a waitress. And yes, I did waitress after that.

30. Yeah I actually...
did it to my old bartender. Left my phone number in his tip jar one night. I didn't think he even knew my name.....
....
Apparently, he did :o I didn't even have to wait for a phone call ;)

So, that was kind of like a stranger?

21. My sister was a waitress.
She married a guy who asked her out while she was working. She was so accustomed to declining creepy toe sucking proposals by elderly Malibu show business people, that she said yes to the first guy who seemed normal.

But they are now divorced.

24. I haven't, and for very good reason
But working as a server I can tell you, string six words together with some charm and intelligence and basically any female server can be yours. Very promiscuous industry.

25. I just went to a wedding where a guy asked out a waitress 4 yrs ago!
And now they are a happily married couple. I've known several "girls" who waitressed or bartended during college and just beyond who married customers.

27. I asked a waitress out...(we're actually called food servers now)
I was a waiter (male food server) at the same restaurant at the time so I'm not sure that counts. We're still dating over a year later. A restaurant job will really kick your social life into overdrive, I'm tellin' ya....

31. Are you kidding?
With my lifelong weakness for black-haired waitresses, I'd have long since exploded if I hadn't. (This,of course only applies to my life prior to Mrs R's arrival.)

But I always had a rule: Never try to pick up the barmaid. Whatever clever thing you have to say, she's heard something more clever. No matter how cool you are, she's met a guy who's cooler. No matter how sharp you look, she's met guys more handsome than you.

Too much competition, in short, therefore a waste of time to try.

Boy, am I glad I'm married. Being single is too much work!

35. Can't say I have, but I did get a cute bartender to suggest
breakfast, and I think he thought it was his idea too. :D

I wound up dating him for a little over a year.
