Dating In Manhattan: An Exercise In Contract Law
Say you meet a nice guy on a popular online Jewish dating service, and go out for dinner. Then you get a little busy at work for a week or so, and don't jump all over the guy like a desperate hussy.

What do you get? An invoice for that date's dinner. Yeah, our name-withheld-heroine must be sad she's missing out on this clown's attentions. His invoice after the jump.

Dear [WOMAN'S NAME]

On June 5, you agreed to accept dinner, paid for in full, by me, based on your stated offer that we would go out again. In that you have ignored all overtures to said follow up meeting, you are hereby considered in breach of contract.

To that end, you are being invoiced for 50% of the cost of the dinner, pursuant to the offer. For the record, the offer presented you with the option of not going out again and paying for half of the dinner, or going out again and not paying at all. You accepted these terms, choosing to go out again, as stated above, but have since failed to deliver your end of the agreement. In that this was merely a promise to meet, and not a promise to marry, the agreement is binding under New York law and does not require a written agreement (i.e. statute of frauds).

Furthermore, this is absolutely not a joke.

Your share is 50% of $74.51 which is a total of $37.25. Payment in full is expected within 30 days.

You may remit to:

~Glad for the dates I went out on where the man did not interest me enough for a follow up call, I paid my own way. :cool:~

Okay he is definitely PRESSED. IWAMFW :mad:

I am so glad that I never dated this loser. :rolleyes:

I would pay it, and move along with my life.

Damn, he needs to just chalk it up as a loss and press on. Besides that, he may need to either start making better choices in who he asks out or learn to read signs better. Sometimes a woman will say, "Sure, we can go out again" when her body language or demeanor clearly states that she is not interested.

Did she say WHEN she would go out with him again? If not, I don't know how he could say a week was a breech of contract. Dang, slow ya roll!!

HA HA
 

This is so funny. I'm so happy to be married, stories like this let's me know how bad the dating situation can be.

The funny thing about this email, you know and I know, some sister out there has been hit by this in some form.
