The first date wasn’t all that impressive to you in terms of the extravagance of the activity.
And now, you are wondering whether he is cheap and a red flag.
After all, you were expecting him to do something more thoughtful and costly on a date.
Not that you want him to spend all his savings on you, but you believe that when a man puts in the time to plan a more elaborate date and spends a good amount of money that aligns with the activity, he is demonstrating that he is taking you seriously and has skin in the game.
These are guys who were never genuinely interested in meeting you on a date in the first place.
Even though it seemed as though there was interest on his part, much of that had to do with how much he was enjoying the attention you were giving him.
It was obvious that you were showing strong signs of being more into him than he was into you.
You were the one who was showing the most enthusiasm whenever you talked to him on the phone or texted each other.
Whether that reason has to do with a history of alcohol abuse, or a disdain for the taste of alcohol on your taste buds, there is nothing wrong with you refusing to drink alcohol.
Although you are worried that every girl your age wants to date a guy who drinks alcohol, as it is normally at the center of social venues, this trepidation is misguided.
There are plenty of girls who are perfectly fine with you refusing to drink alcohol.
