To be totally turned off by this?

[teslaplayer]

Went on a first date with a guy I met online last night, went out for dinner. When I got there I definitely found him attractive. However when it came to ordering drinks he ordered himself a glass of milk.

I've honestly never came across someone doing that in a restaurant and I just think it's really odd and really put me off him. I have tried to work out why this was such a turn off and I can't come up with a reason it just made me feel a bit yuck.

AIBU? It's just so odd on a first date I feel.

Well who knows. Perhaps he didn't think a cup of tea would go with his cajun chicken, or they don't do the fruit juice he likes. Lots of people in here dint do fizzy drinks. Rule out alcohol too and your choices get limited.

Lets agree to disagree about milk being a date drink.

@DesertIslandCondiment

Yes, I like them. I like more than one style of clothes. Is this guy just drinking milk and nothing else?

It depends. Was it full fat or semi skimmed?

@ElmoNeedsThePotty

2nd date he will be asking for "bitty"

no please that is so funny 😭

[Tygger]

I don't think that you being unreasonable, but did he explain why he went straight for the milk, does he have some type of tummy problem?

[DesertIslandCondiment]

@SleepingStandingUp

But presumably the smarter clothes you wear would be still stuff you liked. Maybe he isn't a fan of fizzy pop and coffee, tea, a glass of hot water and a slice of lemon or or Cordial was worse

I like wearing cosy hoodies and trainers but if I were to go a nice restaurant I would wear something smarter. So I would conform. However I enjoy dressing smarter too. Surely this guy doesn't only just drink milk.

Oops sorry about the cosy comment - I know some people hate it 😂

@emptythelitterbox

A date wouldn't have to have alcohol.
A glass of water with lemon or a coke would be fine.

Yes I mean what matters more is conforming, not having something you enjoy.

[Overnightoats1]

Maybe he just had really bad heartburn...

[blackpearwhitelilies]

I don’t understand why people are expecting the poor guy to have sour milk breath. Presumably he’s swallowing it rather than walking around holding it in his mouth for days.

@Quincythequince

I hate milk. Hate it. So I’m quite disgusted by seeing people drink it.

Why are grown mammals, drinking the milk of another species meant for their own young?

Utterly grim. No second date from me.

Presumably tho you only date other vegans tho?

[SleepingStandingUp]

I honestly can't get worked up over what an apparently nice dude drinks on a date. Being put off, fine. Being a judgmental jerk about it, not so much.

Exactly. "have new random ick / in a vegan and just can't date someone who isn't", fine. You date who you like.

"omg he's clearly a man child who wants to breast feed at 40 with bad breath who's clearly never been to a restaurant andor had a relationship" just shows you up to be an arse

[MakeMineABourbon]

Love this, how odd!! Run!

[Skydaze]

Maybe people will stop conflating drinking alcohol with getting hammered when others stop associating drinking milk with breastfeeding (the tone of which is weirdly misogynist and off-putting) or signs of a psychopath.

@Thingsthatmakeyougohmmmmmmm

Is cajun chicken spicy? Maybe the milk was to line hid stomach.

It's certainly not spicy enough to require milk

[Thingsthatmakeyougohmmmmmmm]

FFS...his!

@DesertIslandCondiment

Will people stop saying that if you are a lager drinker you are going to get hammered or have an alcohol problem.

No, apparently you’re either a milk drinker or a fully fledged alcoholic. There is no middle ground. 😂

@Toria33

it was a bbc tv program about 5-10 years ago so no and yes google so fantastic at being factually accurate, just like wiki eye roll may I also point out that a lot of electrolyte drinks that are not plain water but it contains other things "potassium salts" etc which are also found to be more hydrating than water for the same reasons I explained. water molecules attach to the proteins and salts and allow the body to hold onto it.
Which ever OP is still a young woman who really needs to learn not to judge on frivolous things like drinking milk .. probably going to end up with a jerk or alone.

If you Google reputable medical sources (as stated), such as the NHS or academic research on the topic, yes, factually accurate. Not my fault you don’t know how to use the internet. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Your faux scientific ‘explanation’ based on a tv show that you allegedly watched a decade ago is hardly immutable fact. But, carry on.

OP can choose to date or not based on any criteria she decides, whether or not said criteria is to your liking. Who she ends up with is entirely her business.
