Is it off-putting if a girl doesn't drink?

[FuzzyLittleNightmare]

So, I was wondering, whenever I talk to people about the dates they have been on, they always say they had a drink (alcoholic). Now I personally don't drink. I like the effect it has on my head, but I hate the taste. People have said to me that if someone offers to buy me one I should say yes and just not drink it because guys will think I'm like a prude if I don't. But, I'd feel bad he was wasting his money!

So, would you guys find it off putting if you offered to buy a girl a drink and she said she didn't like it? Would you think she was a prude?

For me I rather have a girl that doesn't drink as I very rarely drink myself and I can't stand drunk people.

[Kaius]

Nah. I think it'd be nicer to go out with a girl that doesn't drink, or at least doesn't get completely off her face. I'd rather her remember our date than it just be a drunken memory. If you don't drink just be honest, any decent and genuine guy will offer to get you a coke or orange juice instead :P :)

[DreamSeeker]

If anything I'd love a girl who does not drink. I'm so sick of 90% of the girls my age being underage drinkers anyway. I hate alcohol.

It's not off putting if a girl doesn't drink. Take it from one who only t'astes' and even swore not to drink soda anymore :)

I'd rather a girl who does not drink, it's all in a person's beliefs and feelings. I'm straightedge and I know the affect alcohol has had on my family, so I choose not to drink. In fact, being with a drinker brings up horrible memories for me and I get upset.

So no, it's not offputting to me

I could never be with a woman who doesn't join in with my jolly pirate drinking songs.

no it's fine that you don't drink.
i don't drink much myself (other than a glass of wine once in a while) and i would prefer being with someone who doesn't because i don't like being with drunk people.
i think you should just tell him that's you don't really drink and thank him for offering. if he is off-put by this obviously you shouldn't be with him and find someone who will like you whether or not you drink.

[DerBear]

No as I dont drink either (I am only 15 but I hate the taste and the smell) SO I would be happy and I dont think it is of putting

[xDarkAngelx]

For me I wouldn't find it off putting if that happened and I would be fine in just buying her an orange juice or coke if that's what she wanted.

I don't drink, I hate everything about alcohol so I wouldn't offer her a drink in the first place.

I believe the buying a drink would be just an ice breaker, but im sure the contents of the drink could be and should be chosen at your liberty.

What matters would definately not be the drink, but the conversation which follows after.
It would be classy to accept the drink definately, and have a good conversation if possible.

If you are not into alcohol, you may counter by saying, "Ok sure, but im not so into alcohol...."
Im sure it would work out just fine.

If a girl is to reject a drink from me; which i have never attempted, im sure she has her reasons.
And with that, the ice would generally be broken, if both parties are interested to talk.

Cheers

Girls not drinking is fine. I think the only case where a guy would strongly prefer girls who drink is when they're looking for girls who are willing to do bad stuff.

In my humble opinion, good girls are much hotter.

Bad stuff? Like what?

[Kujiro]

Drinks does not necessarily lead to bad stuff, it just leads to doing stuff you did not know you did

*laughs*

[Sage]

I still don't see what "bad stuff" is supposed to entail, and you'd only not remember being drunk if you drank more liquor than you can hold in.

[cam.12.]

nah. do what makes you feel comfortable. if the guy only dates you because he wants you to drink or get drunk don't be with him. i would never force anyone to drink if they said no especially my gf.
