And for f***'s sake don't act like she is doing you some kind of a favour. Act like you own the place, order a bottle of red - you are in charge, you know what you are doing. Women love that - I've done many years of research. Whatever you do, don't act like she is better than you. Confidence and class can overcome fat or whatever.

You should make friends with iggy

If you don't wanna go at least have the decency to call her up and cancel. Letting her get all dressed up at wait for you at the restaurant until she realizes you're not showing is a real mean thing to do.

I like manhattans in a cocktail glass.

Seriously. Why would I want a bunch of ice watering down my Manhattan?

Eh, the ice is worth it to me to not drink out of a martini glass (is that what you mean by "cocktail glass"?). The girliness factor aside, they are just a pain to drink out of. I suppose I could order it up, but in a tumbler, but that's getting awfully high-maintenance for a drink order.

Take a big quaff at the start, and you're good to go.

Nothing inherently wrong with stemware, and if sophistication is the goal a cocktail glass is much better than a long neck.

FFS dude, just go meet this chick. If nothing else, just go in basically assuming that she'll find you too fat and you'll never get any - then you've got nothing lose.

Fwiw, some of the biggest players I've known were big fat guys...

Weak dude... weak. Just slam 3 or 4 shots, go meet her, act like you don't care (and you shouldn't anyway) and see what happens. The absolute worst thing that's gonna happen is she's not gonna want to see you again, and if that's the case then [censored] her anyway, she's probably a huge bitch.

Just go for it man.

And if she makes a comment about your weight, say "perhaps, but I just enjoy a nice meal, a glass of wine and the company of a beautiful woman" - it's gold. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
