This is about my close friend; - dude my chance to publicly laugh at you. He is rather a sweet friend, naive to tell me about how he made an ass of himself during this evening out with this pretty girl he knows.
Dude, I promise not to give away your name.
Let me tell you all, what happened.
There is this sweet girl he has got to know, let us call her Akanksha, over the last couple of months. He tells me, Akanksha is beautiful (this I will vouch for, he had had me introduced) and has been rather nice to him. He tells me, he is fond of her and when I ask him if there is more to it, he dismisses it by saying 'more' doesn’t seem logical and plus it can’t be one sided. A proud gentleman that he is.
Okay, let’s forget the girl and how nice this friend is (but don’t forget the equation that they share). Let me tell you about his weekend.
He asked Akanksha out, for a play. She agreed, but actually went out after postponing it for 2 weekends. So obviously my friend was actually looking forward to it this time when they froze the time etc.
On the D-day a few minutes before the appointed hour our friend was at Akanksha’s building. Just as he was trying to call to ask her to step out, Akanksha called to complain that he had made her wait. (Guess Akanksha was looking forward to this outing too).
Nothing after that went right for my friend.
They couldn’t find the venue, he was supposed to know his way around.
Akanksha didn’t quite like the play, for that matter our friend didn’t like it too. Akanksha wanted to step out mid way, fortunately he managed to make her stay put.
Soon it was time for dinner. Our friend thought, he had it all worked out but fate had decided to make an ass of this normally intelligent friend of mine.
So they drove to Connaught Place. Dinner, it was decided would be at his clubby joint called DV8.
Now listen carefully…….DV8, had closed some months ago, and Akanksha of course did not like the place that had opened in its stead.
So the next port of call it was decided was going to be Agni at the Park. Cover charges of 2k didn’t quite make sense for a dinner that would last not more than 45 minutes given Akanksha’s deadline to reach home.
When you can’t take a girl to a decent place and you her make her walk when she is so delicately dressed, my friend you don’t quite deserve to ask a girl out.
Let me not be harsh, and tell you what happened next.
Walking back, still deciding where dinner could be, Akanksha noticed Kwality. The famous Kwality of the 70s-80s now frequented only by fat Punjabi aunties and over the hill Uncle-jis.
So dinner at Kwality, it was.
Imagine, the upper end boarding school upbringing, the sophistication and the gentleman in my friend were all in vain. He couldn’t find a proper restaurant for dinner, when he was out with this girl for the first time.
When I heard this first I could not help guffawing, but then my advice to my friend was – Dude, if you are clueless, leave it to her. She will any way enjoy being the boss.
Guys join me in saying a little prayer, that may Akanksha give my friend another chance to go out with her.

He really wants to go out with her again.

Hmmm...interesting...but at least do not guffaw at the poor chap!
Sometimes, lady-luck deserts you at the the most inopportune of moments!!
Mr. Prasad a word of caution on the love advice you gave your friend: No woman would like to go out with a man that is clueless. Atleast let him have a point of view, that she will veto it 'is a universal truth'. But the point of view is important. All the best to this poor hapless friend of yours...
