Cheap Date -- ?? for the daters out there

So I am definitely a cheap date now.  I enjoy a drink, but seriously one drink or even a half of a drink and I really feel it.  It's kind of nice, but then I feel like  especially when dating new people it might not be the best thing to get SOO relaxed, so quickly.

For those of you that are also out there dating -- how did you handle this?  

I never ordered really good hard liquor as that seems to hit me about 1/4 of the way into a drink.  I stick to wine and try to find something really light.  If I do have liquor, I ask for lots of ice and just let the ice dilute the alcohol a bit.  Then take little sips so that the one drink lasts me for quite a while (and I never fini****).  And I always ge****er with my drink.  A couple drinks of water for each sip of alcohol.

I agree that it's not necessarily the best idea to get so relaxed, so quickly.  It's not easy to find the balance but you seem to be really self aware so I'm sure you do just fine! 

Honestly.... I just didn't get a drin****il I felt really comfortable around that guy. Even with that, I would ask if he wanted to split it. I could really go without though. 

I always watered mine down. Even now, I add ice to my glass of wine (I know...real classy!) but it helps. and as someone else mentioned, I always made sure I ordered water as well and kept drinking that.

and of course, you don't have to order alcohol.

I have been in the ting scene for a while. You build your tolerance for alcohol up. I usually order a beer (yea yea carbonation I know) and sip it, or I now get a vodka club (yea yea carbonation but its really flat) and lime and sip it with a small straw.

Do you tell the guys about your surgery?

Ok I'm not in the dating scene however when I went to Orlando this past week the wine on the tables was horrific sooooo what we all did was have half a glass of wine and then added 1/2 a sprite zero to it funny but it tasted good... only drank half a glass but if your not a wine drinker or the wine is yucky this worked for me!!! :-)

Good luck Stacy!!! :-)
