I have never had this happen before (is this common to everyone else)

[Beer Snob-50]

I was at a bar with a buddy for dinner and a couple of beers. This women and her husband (I assume) sat next to us.I was drinking this stout with cappichino (sp)in it. She was chatting with me in between talking with the guy she was with. She made a comment about the beer I was drinking and asked me to try it. I was surprised by the request as I have never had anyone I did not know ask to try my beer and let her have a swig.

Is this common now a days?

1. I think it USED to be much more common.

.
We've gotten a little hyper-sensitive to cooties again.

I did have a homeless person with some sort of HUGE
ulcer/chancre near her lip ask for a swig from my soda
can once. I gave her her own soda from the six-pack
I had just gotten.

6. Ah yes, the old ACME "paste-on Cancre".

That's how I get my sodas as well.

Dang, I'm going to hell now.

2. That seems a little odd.

I mean if it were your friend, sure, but this woman was a stranger.

3. she was a total stranger.

attractive, but still a stranger.

5. I've often had

men ask if I want to try their drink(s). I never do.

on edit: I did try an older gentleman's scotch at a very upscale hotel bar a few months ago. Uh oh.

7. Sharing your own drink, or asking to share anothers, is intimate.

I wonder if the OP was being hit on.

8. Actually, I have a big mouth and talk to everyone

at bars. He was a very distinguished looking gentleman and I got to take the first drink.

But yes, the OP was most likely being hit upon.

12. Couple looking for a third, perhaps?

[Fire Walk With Me]

14. That's what I was thinking.

Rowr rowr....bow chikka bow bow.

9. I think that's a little strange.

Maybe she was more into you than the guy she was with!

[garybeck]

10. it's more about the type of person

some people are just more outgoing than others. if she felt comfortable chatting with you, I think it's perfectly normal, if she's an outgoing person. sounds like she was flirting.

13. I think it is common in the USA to be chatting with the people who sit near you in a restaurant.

I visited Boston once and it seemed every time we sat in Sam's American Cafe someone would lean over and talk to us as we were eating. Doesn't happen in Canada. Does that help?

[WinkyDink]

16. Nope, definitely NOT common here! In fact, I'd tell that person to butt the frack out!

15. I would let her taste it, but only after she could tell me what's in it for me

j/k
