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.

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.

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.

Love this, how odd!! Run!

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

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?

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.

Maybe he just had really bad heartburn...

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.

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.

[DesertIslandCondiment]

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

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

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

[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?

@ElmoNeedsThePotty

2nd date he will be asking for "bitty"

no please that is so funny 😭

[Igotthegoose]

It depends. Was it full fat or semi skimmed?

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.
