This has recently come into play in a few different people's dating lives and stories I've heard.
I have a new rule.
He is fun and cute = Have a drink
He is just ok and a bit dull = Get your "drank on"
He is mostly offensive looking and a total ass = Just get drunk and excuse yourself
Now these aren't hard and fast rules to live by, but it is just a new assessment and standard I have set for myself. It isn't the classiest and could be potentially pricey (especially if your date doesn't pay for you- *see previous story) but it sure could be fun!
My only caveat... drinking could lead to beer goggles, poor life choices and a complete disregard for how unattractive he was when you first showed up for the date.
A little gem from my dating life...
About a year ago I went on a date with a guy I met at a bar. He seemed nice and cute enough when we met (*see beer goggles). He took me to a bar in Grand Central, which was fun, but a bit generic and not very hip and the night went downhill fast. Not only did I already have a drink before I showed up (with some friends), but I proceeded to drink in excess as he rambled on and on about politics, his job in banking and a slew of anti-feminist comments. Once he told me to "Shut Up" after I made a comment, it was all down hill from there. Drink, drank, DRUNK.
Poor life choice. Cut to me 1 hour later politely (as polite as you can be drunk) excusing myself to say it was "Time for me to exit the fine drinking establishment" (direct quote he told me later...yikes). I was a hot mess and ended up paying for it the next morning. HOWEVER, he did pay for it that night (literally, he paid the tab) and even end up asking me out again. Obviously, I said no, because I was embarrassed and because he was gross. So ladies...raise a glass and have a drink. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Especially if you have ever ended up on a date like mine, you will need that drink.
