Girl ordering beer on first date

[PollyMolly1234]

What are your thoughts about this?

drink what you usually drink, be yourself and if it puts him off then at least you havent wasted time pretending you are someone you are not.

I'll need to have a couple of pints and I'll answer in due time

Good grief

Do you normally overthink every detail of every interaction you have with men to this degree? You sound exhausting sorry

I personally wouldn’t drink a pint of beer on a first date. I do think it looks blokey.
I’d go with a half or a bottle of peroni
But he more then likley wont care anyway what you order

Beer is definitely for girls. Real women drink Gin :)

Stop all of this ridiculousness. Drink whatever you like.

but if you really want a stranger's opinion go for a pint of whatever the local ale is. I've been out of the UK for a few years, and I'm desperately missing a good British pint rather than the lager that I can only get here. No-where else has anything quite like it.

I do think it looks blokey.

Well we can't have that can we....

Bloody hell if I went on a date with someone who was so backward and insecure that the idea of someone ordering a ‘man’ drink freaked them out, I’d be out of there like a shot.

Order what you want to drink...... unless you are at the Savoy for a fancy meal in which case a pint may be slightly inappropriate!

DH and I usually go to our local micro pub for date night so only choice is ale, cider in pint or half pint or a can of soft drink.

If that turns him off you then he sounds sexist.

Fekko that made me LOL.

OP - you order what you would normally order.
Be yourself.
If he takes offence then he's an ass!
Good luck.

the only time I have ever been looked at a bit funny for ordering a pint is the time I was enormously, obviously pregnant and the barman misheard my dh when he was doing the ordering.

dh had asked for a pint of blackcurrant and soda for me, the barman heard blackcurrant and cider (which turned out to be extra strong 7% stuff).
the barman asked if I wanted any of their special cider ice cubes (it was the middle of summer) dh said "no best not, she's pregnant" and the barman looked at us like we were a bit odd.

NoqontroI - im allowed my opionion and thats it, doesnt matter if people dont agree with me. The OP has already said the same thing! either way she can drink what she likes

Better to have a pint than line up a row of shots each and challenge the new date to a drinking competition.....

Drink what you want if the date goes well he will find out at some point that you drink pints may as well start off like that.

A relative was refused service in a pub in the 60s as she wanted a pint of beer.

I was refused a pint in a pub in the West Country in the mid-80's because "we don't serve ladies pints".

OP, see it as a litmus test - if he bats an eyelid, run!

No, beer is good! Easier to pace yourself than wine or spirits, and so makes it less likely to make a tit of yourself out of sheer nervousness. Looks more relaxed than orange juice. Anyway, by and large, men understand a love of beer :D

FFS - have what you want. Sod what you look like. This is 2018.

As a beer drinker for 50 years (I'm female) here are the only recommendations I would make:

If you drink halves you will drink more than if you drink pints (true fact)

Don't go for a wee till you are bursting because once you start going you will keep make loo trips all evening. [also true fact]

There's nothing wrong with enjoying a pint of two. Not all women prefer to daintily sip sparkling water. This one doesn't anyway.

checks calander - discovers we are no longer in 1952 and leaves

FFS. Get a pint. And grow up.

Don't try to hide your real self. If you normally drink pints - order one. I always have, much to my dads disgust. It didn't seem to put men off and if it did, I probably wouldn't want him anyway.

I don't understand this thread... you met at a beer fest, you know he likes that you drink beer and don't really care what he thinks anyway... yet you're worried he'll be put off by you drinking beer?

.... what?

Order whatever you like to drink. What a bizarre thread.

Woman drinks beer. About as comment-worthy as; Man eats quiche.

I hate the idea that laydeeze need to have their beer served in half pints. I get thirsty. If I'm drinking beer, I can drink a pint faster than DH. I just don't drink as many of them. But waiting for him to finish a pint because i've had to nurse a ladylike half would put me in a real grump.
