Been out on a date tonight.....

Had a great time with a really sweet young lady but she was a little perturbed that I kept looking at my wrist, I explained that i wasn't checking the time just simply admiring my watch ......hope she'll understand

It's good to test the mettle of your women in such a manner.

Are you sure you weren't looking at your watch wondering how the heck it could still be the 25th?

It's a beauty Chris! Is that the one with the Rolex signed crown and caseback?

Ummm...if she also didn't admire that fine timepiece, then I'd let her go

I'd be careful when looking at the watch during a date. If I was the girl I'd wonder if he was not interested and thinking "when is this date gonna end?! Because he keeps staring at his watch a lot."

You need to set the ground rules right from the start. The watches come first!

I would be confused as well if my date kept checking her TUDOR; however, if she kept checking her ROLEX, I'd understand.

As long as you explained why you kept glancing at the watch, I think you'll be OK!

Well, I know I'd understand...

The date must not have been as pretty as the watch. Maybe a few glasses of wine later and it may have been different.

Glad you are the sensitive type, I am sure she would have not minded being upstaged by a watch
