Would you date a teetotaler?

Has is says Date in the sentence I hope it would be all right to put this here. I would like to tell people I am going on a date tomorrow after meeting someone online. I have telled mental health worker And they say it will be good for me. And if leads to having a boyfriend that would be wonderful and if not it's the beginning of trying to date and find a boyfriend. But I am nerves has this the first time I have been on date ever. He is polite and a real gentleman. And caring well he does work in national health service. And he romantic in the sense like me. I just would like peoples opinion on what to talk about he does say when we talk on Facebook he finds me really good to talk to and he has laugh with me but thats online it might be different for me in person has I have atypical autism which is high function which you can’t tell from looking at me. And also I would like to know who pays for the meal has it Italian food it will be expensive. He did say too if we like each other we can go for a walk around the city centre too which I find really nice too.

 

I would. I am a teetotaler myself.

 

Sure, since I don't drink very often. I would actually prefer to date someone who isn't big into drinking (which often comes with interest in clubbing/bar scene, which is a no go for me).

 

I very rarely drink now. I think the last time was during Eurovision. Even then it was only two glasses of Cider.

I absolutely cannot risk even a trace of alcohol in my system when I'm at work, so that's one of the main reasons why I rarely drink. The other is because too much alcohol depresses my mood very seriously and I really have no desire to put myself through that. So, to answer the question, I'd be very happy with a teetotaller.

 

If they are fine with me using alcohol for cooking?
Like Austin, I also enjoy feeling relaxed after a few sip, loosen up those social inhibitions.

 

I don't care if they don't drink, as long as they don't care that I drink

I don't drink as much as I used too, but I still like getting drunk from time to time with friends.

 

I don't really drink, (I can probably count the number of drinks I have each year on one hand) mostly because I just hate the taste of most alcohol, so I definitely would.

As for anyone who wouldn't date ME because of how little I drink, then I don't want to date them anyway. If alcohol is THAT important to social interaction then I think their priorities are somewhat off..

 

I wouldn’t care if they don’t drink at all. But if they don’t like it if I drink alcohol which just a few times every month they can do one.

 

Whenever someone offers me a drink I make an X with my arms in front of me and say "I'm straight edge bitch!" Sometimes they think its funny, sometimes they think I'm nuts. Seriously though I don't drink, I've had about three sips of stuff my wife was drinking in the last few years and it's always aggrivated her off that I don't drink.

 

My boyfriend doesn't drink alcohol. It has never been a problem.

 

That's a really nice attitude.

 

Damn, I feel dumb. I mixed up 'teetotaler' with 'teapartier'. Yes, I would date someone who doesn't drink. I don't drink either so, I definitely wouldn't have any problems with it!

 

yeah, i focus more on personality rather than things like weather they drink alcohol or what religion they are, i don't really care

 

I don't drink so I don't really care. I don't know if I like the word teetotaler though because it just makes me think of the tea party. I just say I don't drink.

 

I also mixed it up. I would probably be confused if someone called themselves that because it seems like an unnecessary label but again I don't have any issues with it.

 

With the risk of sounding like a total bitch, I have to be honest - no, I wouldn't.

Being a borderline alcoholic* I would have a hard time being with someone who doesn't drink at all. Part bc I like my drink, but also bc craft beer is one of my hobbies/passions and I really want to share that with my partner.



*) I know I should drink less, but I don't feel bad about it. I can def spend a while without alcohol but I just like a good craft beer too much.

 

I did not know teetotal meant that. Growing up in South I have always heard the saying "a teetotal mess", so I always took it to mean complete and total. Oh well, learn something new everyday, but still not calling myself that.

But of course I would date a person that doesn't drink since I don't drink anyway.

 

I definitely would, I've never understood why people feel the need to drink alcohol. It would take a lot of pressure off me if the other person didn't drink.
