The fall off posts prompt this question--assuming we are talking about you as a regular in your favoreite club--would you buy shoes for a dancer? For just one, or more than one? How special would the girl have to be, or would you just be generous without any regard to a relationlship, if asked?
I've bought shoes on several occassions, but only for someone I have a special relationship with. My feeling is if I go beyoud that, things can get out of hand. But it might be something to try to get something going.
