First Date: advice for guys

You meet a girl and decide that you would like to get to know her better. Whether it's her appearance or personality, you have decided that there is something about her that makes you interested. You get her number, send her text messages or try to call her; either way you make some form of contact. Eventually this leads to her finally agreeing to go out with you. She reluctantly agrees to let you pick her up instead of taking her own car and meeting you at the location, so you pick her up and carry out small talk until you get to the intended spot for the night.
As the night goes on, you buy her drinks, have some light conversation, exchange laughs and have a fairly decent, carefree evening. The only problem is that the girl more or less is expecting that all that is to take place is some conversation, a good time, and eventually go home. However, the guy intends on getting the girl a little too drunk, so that she is having a good time, but has completely lost all sensible judgement.
Too bad for the guy, the girl knows how to handle her alchol and knows when too much, is too much. It just so happens that if this girl is put in a situation where she is either feeling unsafe or uncomfortable in any way, and has too much to drink, she gets angry rather than becoming the carefree, party drunk. So by the time the guy gets her to his place, she is ready to go home rather than continue the party.
For a lot of girls, this situation quickly turns into a bad one. Where the guy forces himself upon the girl, and does what he likes with her. For the lucky ones, such as myself, the girl is aggressive enough to where the guy realizes she isn't playing games.
Ultimately, in this situation, the girl was taken home. The guy was left angry, and clearly unsatisfied, but, the girl arrived home safely. In the course of her sitting in an apartment occupied by several unfamiliar faces, she had texted several different people hoping for at least one response. Two people had responded, one asking for an address so that they could come help her, by which time the original person had offered to take her home finally. That friend will never know how much that truly meant to her that he would be willing to drive across town to get her, and the guy she went out with will never be forgotten as the one who made her feel like that night could have been her last.
If you want to get somewhere with a girl treat her with respect and kindness. Do not look at her as a means to an end. If you're only goal for the night is to score, then find a whore, not a girl that you feel you have to get wasted in order to have your way. By the end of the night, the guy had spent at least $200 on drinks, and ended up going home mad..He could have spent much less than that and had some good conversation and possibly another date. What does he have now? A hangover and his hand.
