lol @ the news story, that is ridiculous.
Personally when I was single I hated it when guys offered to buy me a drink and I promptly turned them down for the reason that I would feel as though I "owed" them something for the drink and also because it feels like it's a way of forcing you to give them your attention in a way. If you like someone and want to get to know them or "make a move" so to speak, why not talk to them or something instead of "buying" their attention? This goes for either sex.
