Dating : Do you drink alcohol during dates?
Yesterday for the first time in a year I drank alcohol during a date (I usually get tea or something), not a lot, just two mojitos, but for a while it made the date seem way better than it was.
Do you drink alcohol? What’s your strategy?
I almost always do. My usual date suggestion is a bar so it is implied we have drinks. Helps loosen things up, more disinhibited. And generally more fun. I’ll usually have 2 drinks (~2 standards each), but I have doubled that before when the girl was keen.
Just know your limit. Not just your drunken limit, but limit to where your cognitive ability deteriorated.
Edit: also even if the date isn’t going great, you’re still having fun!
A bar is the preferred for first dates and I think it’s a good atmosphere and a couple of drinks can put people at ease. Generally 2-3 drinks over the course of a few hours
never at start. i can live with being awkward, because i have ways to turn that over on its head but i could not live with myself screwing things up being shitfaced.
Going for a drink is always my go to for a first date. Having a couple of drinks allows me to ease up and get past the first date nerves. Plus it’s a easy exit game if you dont like the person or date isnt going well.
