A great phrase relating to drinking and 1st meetings is...

‘If you don’t look like your profile pic. then you’re buying the drinks until you do’

Nothing wrong with having a glass or 2 as long as not completely paralytic and no longer in control , that’s not nice

Well. Met an ie for a lunch some years ago. I was non drinking then. She polished off the first glass in no time. So I asked for a bottle of house plonk. That disappeared within the hour
Whilst much of the talk revolved around getting me drinking again. I had to leave to catch a train home. Paid for the meals and wine, but she remained in the restaurant having ordered another glass.

An accomplished drinker, and it probably was the right thing for her but no good for me.

My IE doesn’t drink and I not been a problem.... he’s an amazing lover 😛"
SSShhhhh do not give that away, more competition :-( for us who know that it makes no difference !! It is the person and personality.

I did briefly try to date someone who did not drink, said he was ok with me drinking (odd glass of wine, never drunk!). Snide comments started though. Sheesh single parent, enjoying a few hours break from my children etc !!!
It is the person and the personality!

So an affair with a non drinker yes, potential second husband, I would avoid!

Like most things, there aren't specific rules. But if you need Dutch courage before meeting you shouldn't be doing this at all.
Several drinks always dents performance, even if a drink gives license to your libido.

Never!
I like to feel the event and match my date drink for drink after that! Then you both are mimicking the other for the rest of the night!
You never know, you might get lucky!

I'm not anti drinking alcohol but I do love a glass of wine.
If someone that I met didn't drink alcohol, that's fine by me.
But I'd mention it before we met, just to inform those who might be put off by me drinking a glass of wine that I'd have bought for myself.

I tend to prefer a lunchtime meeting first, for many reasons. It doesn't have to progress into us having a meal together but it is a lovely option, if we get on really well.
And if we don't get on well, I've got work to get back to.

"BrownEyedGirl01 - I also went on a date where he asked for a glass of tap water as alcohol doesn’t agree with him 😅. Needless to say I didn’t meet them again......"

I tend to have several public meetings before anything private.
They tend to be alcohol free, for many reasons ... very occasionally I have drank at a first meeting.

Some drink, some have not drank, for their own preference, one was a medical reason.
Those who did not drink have still encouraged me to have a drink if I wish.
