I would love to do a lunch-only date, but wouldn't be able to pre-book.Exactly. I have never had a problem meeting a gent for lunch or dinner or just drinks (screened or already a friend)
If you wrote on Monday and asked for a Wednesday lunch and I agreed, then Tuesday another hobbyist writes and asks for a lunch-time appointment on Wednesday, well, I would have to go with the second date as this is my bread-and-butter. (or move our lunch to tea time! LOL)
The range of figures mentioned sounds about right ($50 to $100) depending on:
Have I met you before? (lower rate because of comfort factor)
Is the restaurant close to my home? (lower rate because of stress-free drive)
Is the restaurant remarkable? (lower rate because .....YUM!)
It would have to be same-day with about 2 hours notice. Originally Posted by HoneyRose
