When someone offers to buy you a drink is it ok to ask for the money?

Not at all. They are looking to get to know you, or at least enough to see if they want to spend more time with you. You can try to ask for the money, but you won't meet any people that way, and you better switch bars often!

Sure...but you'd better hope you don't want to go out with the guys best friend, or anyone he knows, for that matter. I imagine someone who gets this response would be highly irate, would probably tell everyone he knew what a b*tch you were. But it might be worth it for the laughs

LOL-- sure why not?? I personally wouldn't.. I'd be like no man I can buy my own thanks! But why not-- If the man is ballsy enough to ask to buy you one- you can be ballsy right back and ask for the money- LOL Thanks for the laugh-- I'm always looking for the lighter side of mylot!

no no no. that is so funny. i think i would burst with laughter if anyone asked me for the money instead.

No i really don't think that would be the best thing to do...It is basically almost the same thing but i believe it would be impolite to ask for the money,if you turn down the drink..Thats my opinion..

I would have to say that it would be silly to ask for the money. The reason they're asking if you'd like a drink is because they're interested in you. If you're not interested in them accepting the money could imply an interest you don't have or that that's your "price" so to speak.

No, it's not ok. They want to have a drink with you, not pay you to sit there.

That will be so rude thing to do. The guy just offer you a drink, and now you ask for the money? Way too rude. Only people with balls can do such things. I think it's very not nice thing to do to a person.

I think I would be too ashamed or embarrassed to ask them for the money instead. If you knew the person, it may be different though. I think I would be able to ask a friend if they mind if I just took the money because I sure could use it towards something else instead. If someone was just being nice and offered me a drink because they were getting one, I think they would look at me like a begger if I asked them for the money instead. They may think I am a mooch or a bum for doing that.

In my humble opinion, it would be a rude and selfish act on your part. I do not see how this would be well received by anyone. Put yourself in their shoes and see what you think. Draven the Respectful Atheist http://dravenwriter.blogspot.com

Definately not.....I would find it quite rude and you certainly would never get another invitation from me for anything.

Yes I agree with most of the responses so far. If they are going to offer to buy you a drink it's because they like you and are very interested to get to know you better. If you were to ask for the money instead of the drink that would not only be terribly rude, but an insult in my view. So no if a woman offered me a drink, I'd just take the drink and go from there.
