phone, Train and Hermes are still strangers.
On top of that, Train saved her from a drunken pervert.
Regardless of the teacups, I think splitting is the standard way to go.
The Geeks go on for a while fired up over the splitting vs paying debate. Train Man leaves to go and say goodbye to his techie outfit and welcome in a new train.

She has class, this woman. She sent him a thank you gift. Said that she would rather pay for herself. If he pays, she’s going to feel weird about it.

Working with the info we have right now, we can guide him pretty well with these simulations.

I think that since Train Main invited her out to dinner because he thought that the teacups were expensive, he should pay.
If Hermes seems uncomfortable then she can pay for drinks.
If you mention ‘I rarely get the opportunity to go out with women’ as a reason for paying, then I would definitely pull back. I’d think about what you’d be like if you had the opportunity, you know. I think that since the teacups are the main event you shouldn’t mention the opportunity stuff.

When’s Train getting home?
443 Name: 731 aka Train Man Post Date: 20/03/04 21:12
Just got back . . .
Tired . . .
I’ve never spent so much money on clothes
First time using my credit card too
Was charged £30 for my haircut. What da hell is that about . . .
Though I look kinda hip
Clothes-wise I’m set because the assistant helped me choose
Did you know that you need your insurance card to get contact lenses made?
Let me go read the log. Laters.

I had so many bags that I had to come home to drop them off and headed out again. I’m exhausted . . . but I really do feel like I’ve transformed.
From a long way off you probably couldn’t tell that I was a techie. These contacts are so thin
I also went to the restaurant we picked.
The Japanese creative cuisine place recommended in the thread. Major yum
I asked one of the in crowd at work to recommend a hair salon I was so embarrassed . . .
But my hairstyle would definitely not have been possible at the barbershop
First time I’ve ever had my hair cut this short
My head feels kinda floaty
To hell with the expense

Hey, have you ever worn contacts before?
I don’t know if you should be going on a date after only one week with the new contacts.

You serious . . .
Push comes to shove, I’ll go without my glasses
>>461
I think I still look techie
I’m gonna stick to splitting the bill since we agreed on that already.
