Getting the ick from date’s drink order?

I don’t go around saying these things, of course.

it's like you don't realize that you also have things that other people find sub optimal, they just are evolved enough to question their ick about you whereas you are not.

Serious question OP - what drinks would have been sexier?

PP here, and I have oodles of suboptimal things about me! People are nice enough not to mention them, and I’m nice enough not to snark out loud about their drink orders.

Also I’m married and DH doesn’t drink so there ya go! Haha

so curious what op wishes he'd ordered... is it TikTok famous like a soho house picante/ sbagliato/ hugo spritz/ pickletini or a classic 'i don't have a house in palm beach but let's project that vibe' 'gibson/ japanese whiskey/ chateau de selle' or is op actually very basic and just thinks the fact he specified a brand is the issue?

Tito’s & soda is super common. (Bartender here.) I guess I get it if you want a “unique” guy, but if he treats you well & seems fun/into your interests, I would not rule him out.

Milk sounds pretty good, actually

I wouldn’t have to worry about drunk behavior or drunk driving. I’d rather meet someone in an ice cream shop for milkshakes or a coffee shop than a bar.

I think there’s probably a middle ground between a date for 13 year olds and a date for adults but without granular judgment

After 20 years in IT consulting, I can report that vodka soda is the business bro drink of choice. They love vodka soda, Diet Coke, and those black Patagonia vests.
