   Simple.  It's only an ultimatum if explicitly stated.  If the woman has
   no idea that a second date depends on her response to the "suggestion"
   of her treating the next one, then it becomes a selection criterion.

   It's very similar to other selection criterion that are commonly used.
   For example, personally, a woman either has to have a compatible sense of
   humour to mine, or I will not pursue a relationship.  But I don't say "you
   have to laugh at my jokes or else there will be no second date."

So not only does she have to jump through hoops, but the hoops are
invisible (to her) and she must accurately guess where they are.

Thank you, I'll pass...

Did you ever hear Miss Manners' definition of dating?  It goes something
like:

  All dates consist of three things; food, entertainment and
  affection.  At first, there is a lot of entertainment and only a
  little affection.  As the relationship progresses, the entertainment
  is decreased and the affection is increased.  When the affection
  *becomes* the entertainment, we no longer call it "dating".  At no
  time may the food be omitted.

Wow. It seems from what you've written that you've bumped into a few of my

can say is that I  (and perhaps all the similar ones :-) would _far_  rather
