My date wasn't too happy about the situation, but hey, if someone is really in need I'll help, and the fact that he happily ate a meal worked for me.

I will NEVER turn down a person for an actual meal. If they are hungry, then I will happily pay for the meal and even help them find shelter if needed.

Now, I said never. Let me recant on that. I will NEVER turn down a person for a REASONABLE meal. If they insist on going to Three Forks or Ruth Chris, I would have to draw the line.

Hmm, what do you consider "reasonable", and where do you live? I get hungry on a fairly regular basis!

I should have added the 'needs a meal' disclaimer. I have met you, and you are similar to me. It doesn't look like we have missed too many meals over our lives.
