Dating and Alcohol

What is the relationship between dating and alcohol? And how much should one drink on dates, anyway? This line of questioning is very common among young people everywhere. Nearly everyone drinks, and a few people don’t know their limit. However, what does that mean for dating?

Keeping it basic, as a rule, it depends largely on how long you’ve known the person you are dating. Usually, if on a first date, you may wish to drink very little or abstain from drinking entirely; drunk dating may unfairly cast you in a negative light before you get to know the person, impede you from truly getting to know them and may lead to romantic escalations you will likely find unwelcome when sobered up.

Of course, lots of people drink on dates, and its really fun, too! Simply do it with people you already know and dated for some time. Drinking can make you say or do things you would not consider when sober; be sure the other person understands the distinction before going off the deep end :) .

Common Dating Dealbreakers

Dealbreakers. When it comes to dating, we all have them. We all have that mental list of lines our dates should not cross, some more strict then others. For some people, dealbreakers can be things like height, that you cannot change if you tried. However, most dating dealbreakers encountered today are common to large groups of people. Here is a short list of things that break the date that you can do something about.

1. Personal Grooming/Hygiene – This is a big one; most people find poorly groomed, odious people repulsive. This one is also the easiest to change; shower, shave, get a haircut, and generally look your best for each date.

2. Poor time management – When it comes to dating, coming severely late is very likely to ruin your date, if the person you are with even waits that long. Always come on time; coming late to a date implies lack of respect for the person you are with.

3. Heated Political Discussions – Nothing creates more disagreements then politics. Nothing kills romance faster, too. Even if you find yourselves on the same side of the fence on most issues, there is always going to be something little you will disagree on, ruining the mood.

Politely Ending Dates

Sometimes, people are just not right for each other. The possible reasons are infinitely complicated, but regardless of reason, if you feel the date just is not working out for you, you have every right to end it. Nobody should feel forced to remain where they are uncomfortable, and nobody deserves to have their time wasted. So, it is both in yours and in your date’s interests that it ends immediately if either party feels they must end it.

Politely ending dates is an intricate art – you don’t want to upset the person you are with. Indeed, by ending the date early if you know it just won’t work, you are saving their time as well as your own. Keep several things in mind when ending dates early, though.

Be understanding; empathize with the other person. Understand that they must feel like they wasted their time. Thank them for the opportunity to meet and get to know them. Thank them for their time. Leave on a positive note, and you will not stir up too many bad feelings.

Preparing for a First Date

First Dates – the very mention of them fills some with fear and trepidation, and others with excitement and anticipation. What is the difference? Preparation – mental and physical both. Preparing for a first date can sound like a daunting prospect, but we can reduce it to a brief set of base elements without detracting from the message.

1. Work on your attitude first! Fear will get you nowhere, but positivity and energy will. Tell yourself how excited you are, even if that is not the case at first. Anticipate only success and you shall find it!

2. Look and Dress well. You will always want to look your best on first dates: Wear well fitting clothes, have a haircut worth noticing, and smell great!

3.  Don’t be late! Nothing kills the mood faster then fear of being stood up, and the implications of irresponsibility that lateness carries. Respect your date, come on time!

The “Three Date Rule”

One common phrase that enters discussions about sex and dating lately is “three date rule”. In a nutshell, many women believe one has to keep from having sex until after the third date to maintain a standard of class and decency.

While I will not argue that class and decency are anything other then good things, I will say that adhering to an arbitrary, rigid standard no matter who you are with may not help you much in the long run.

If there is a spark, chemistry, tension, waiting can kill the romance. Love is blind, it is spontaneous and it absolutely does not wait. There is not a person in this word who has lived for any real length of time without stories of regret and loves lost. Sex is a big part of romantic love, and plays a great part in building a lasting, loving relationship.

Always judge each date on a case-to-case basis, because love will not wait!
