Avoid Bad First Dates: Grab Drinks Instead Of Dinner

All Chivarlry Is Not Lost

I have to admit, when I first heard this theory of drinks instead of dinner, for a first date, I immediately thought, “A man taking a woman out to dinner is all women have left of chivalry!”

Keep reading and I think you’ll discover, just as I did, that this works out in favor of both men and women!

Drinks Are Cheaper

Alcoholic or not, drinks are still cheaper than a full meal with someone you may or may not be interested in. Makes since, right?

When You Want Out

If you’re in a date that is NOT ending, simply down the rest of that drink and take off! Ok, maybe say some parting words or make an excuse like, “I drank too much.” Then be FREE!

Judge A Date By Their Drink Order

In my book, If the person orders a Bud, Bud Light, or Miller Lite… we have nothing in common. It’s not judge mental, just logical!

Drinks Stimulate Conversation

Drinks allow you to be yourself and help you open up. Maybe you’ll discover some chemistry over a shared bottle of wine. If the date is going well, then plan a second later… over dinner.

Bars Create Atmosphere

Instead of staring across the table at your uninterested date, why not do some people watching during those awkward silences. Who knows, it might push the conversation along a bit.

Drinking Passes The Time

If you’re not feeling it, drink up! There’s nothing wrong with that to get you through the longest hour of your LIFE!

Dinner May Cause Gas

Who wants to be around a love interest on a first date while expelling gas? It’s no fun for you or your date. Leave the dinner for the dates following the first. That is, if you’re interested.

Who Wants To Be Stuck On A Bad Date?

With all the internet dating in the world, sometimes we perceive people differently than they really are and we need an escape route.

Dinner Can Be Boring

If you’re not interested in the person, what do you talk about? You’ve covered the weather, sports, your career…. Now you’re left staring at each other.

Eating On A First Date Is Awkward

When you don’t know the person all that well yet, who wants to watch someone shove food into their mouth? I certainly don’t want to see that and don’t want him judging me on my eating ways.

Dinner=not so fun.

Avoid The After Dinner Special

When you realize the person you’re on a date with is crazy, get out while you can! Don’t let the date go this far.

Drinking May Cause Drowziness

If you get sleepy, you can always blame it on the booze. Not bad ’eh?

Awkward Kissing Moments

Let’s say you went out to dinner and there was nothing left to talk about. Ok, let’s also say he leaned in for a kiss and you just weren’t feeling it. Where do you go? The meal hasn’t even been paid for yet.

Now if you had been drinking, the date could have ended a long time ago. I’m just sayin’…

The Ideal Happy Ending

It’s not always gunna happen on a first date. I’m just gunna throw that out there.
