1.You go out just to have fun at some bar or club, you dress to impress. This is an invitation to treat (Carlill v Carbolic Smokeball) where an offer can made to the whole world. So on the facts, you r dressed and looked hot to invite some guy or girl to approach you and making that ITT to the bar arena.
2. then is the usual pickup lines and the ice breaker. then proceeded with numbers exchanged. This is like a counter offer or bargaining. (Hyde v Wrench)
3. You go home, feeling happy and the phone rings. It's the guy or girl who calls. At this point an offer has been made and you accepted by responding to the phone call and probably to a date.
4.So then you went on a couple of dates and things started to get serious. Maybe both of you slept on the 10th date. This is Consideration. Consideration is defined by Curie v Misa as a detriment to another and benefit to another. This is a badge of enforceability and gives the "contract" its legality of some sort.
5. You thought well this serious and it's not longer dating, it's in a relationship already. both of you took it a notch higher by moving in. You moved in together and bought furniture and play house. Then him/her dropped the bomb saying he does not want to do it anymore. he told you after the first sex encounter that he/she loves you and thinks that you are the one. You relied on that statement and moved in with him. but now he wants to moved out. Under contract , in unilateral offer you cannot terminate the offer when a person has embarked on the performance of the contract(Errington v Errington). In this case you saved money, rejected a couple of guys or girls to saty commited to get to marry him/her someday.
6. Then came the heartbreak. Well you have been misrepresented. Misrepresentation is a false statement of fact made to party misled which induces him/her to eneter into a contract. thus you have relied on there words, "I LOVE YOU" , and thus enter into a relatioship.So in this case there are three types of misrepresentaion which is fraudulent,negligent and innocent.I suggest you to go for negligent misrep where it is him/her who dropped the bomb to prove his innocence compared to fraudulent where you do all the work.
7. Well about a year or two after the breakup, you figure you can do ITT all over again. you figure if you follow back the bar/club scene if would be great way to pick up guys/girls. You are using doctirne of stare decisis(stand by what has been decided earlier).
8. It's the same thing all over again, the offer, misrepresentation etc. You did not fail to go out there to search for your soulmate and refuse to follow the precedence set. You decided to go on some singles dating website which is contrary to your usual way. you are using Pratice Statement 1966 where you depart from previous decision because it would lead to uncertainty.
9. finally you found your potential husband or wife and you live happily after..just remember to sign a pre- nup
