She’s venting about something with ridiculously obvious solutions:

(1) Call a cab 15 minutes before the restaurant closes

(2) Call the cab before you leave the restaurant

(3) Whip out your phone and call the cab yourself

This is how the dating world works. I believe there have been exactly three recorded instances of a woman inviting a man on the first date back to her apartment with the explicit purpose to have sex. To paraphrase Robin from How I Met Your Mother: “A Lady invents a respectable excuse to invite a man over when she wants to get stuck real good. It’s called class”. Her complaint is essentially “I sent mixed signals and a guy got the wrong idea”. _YAWN_
