Car scratches and insurance
I gambled going without an insurance last time. But noticed there were scratches 4 places on the car not being noted before. So had those scratches filled out and pictures taken before I headed off. However my big fear was that small stone rubble would hit the car on the road while driving. Which it actually did once driving on the A3 with all that roadwork. It did make a small scratch, but the carcompany (Europcar) didn't find it. So I was lucky. Don't think I will chance it again going without an insurance.
Credit Card Cover for Collision Damage Waiver
A general point is that apparently US and Canadian credit cards usually cover CDW. UK, Irish and Italian credit cards exclude it as far as I know. However, for UK residents, an annual insurance policy to cover CDW costs around £30.
My first experience outside the club
First, I want to thank you all for all the advices. I just spent a weekend with someone outside the club for the very first time. Overall, the experience was good. I can narrow down to the following topics:
[B]Sex[/B] - it was good and passionate. I guess you can expect that when they want to have real sex and want to reach orgasm. Now the disadvantage is that when they have sex for real / fun, they stop doing what they don't really like (for example, like BJ, 69, and a few other positions, etc.). So, you will be missing out on some of the acts that they normally do if they were inside the club. This is not the first time this happened to me.
[B]Activities[/B] - I / she showed me around the city, we went shopping, dining, just like a normal couple. I was getting a little sick and wanted to stay in the hotel. Of course, she was bored and wanted to go out. Plus they are younger than us, so you have to keep up with them.
[B]Smoking[/B] - I don't smoke but she does. So this was the real issue. I booked a hotel, which was a non-smoking property (for my own sake). Of course, she was not too happy to have to smoke outside, by the window and had to blow the smoke out all the time. How do you guys normally deal with this? And what is it with the girls. It never fail that they will always want to smoke right after sex even though they just had one right before! She also made a similar comment like. What is it with the guys. They always want to have sex in the morning! LOL.
[B]Money[/B] - now this part, I actually spent just as much, if not more, than what I normally would spend at the club. She was reasonable and never asks me to buy expensive stuff for her. Only a few makeup shops when we stopped by, stuff she needs from the supermarket, etc. Don't want to get to it. Long story short I actually gave her some money in the end.
As I said, overall, I had a nice time with her. Just like a normal couple. But knowing what I know now, specially the smoking situation, next time, I won't be too eager to go with someone outside the club. Unless I really fell in love with her.
