Nessa1977 Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Hope I can post this here as it's "off topic". Having a discussion with some friends. What constitutes "just drinks" and what is considered a date? To me, I had drinks with two guys I met (one a friend of a friend, the other an online date) and nothing progressed after that night.

vlinder Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 I have just come back from 'having coffee' with a bloke. I would not look at a first meeting as a 'date', to many expectations. IF, and it is a IF, there are more 'meetings', than it will naturally (or not) progress to dating imho. But most of all, enjoy it for what it is!! 73 and I am having a ball!!

donatella Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 If I don't know them I never commit to a date. We meet for a drink or coffee and if we like each other the dates come after the casual meet. ive had one too many situations where I wanted to fake my own death to get out of a date so from now on I don't commit anything more then a drink that way I have an easy out if need ?

noeyedear Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Personally, I would consider any one-on-one meet up with a guy, for the purpose of getting to know him to possibly start a relationship/hook up with, as a date. If the intention is to get to know him as just a friend then I'd say it's just drinks. I think it's all about the intent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's also important that you establish the reason why you're going out with the guy, as to not show mixed signals during and after the "drinks/date". noeyedear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessa1977 Posted November 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Well nothing has happened on the drinks/date front since my initial post. Guess I'm just destined to be single forever :`(. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
