Meeting Non-Drinkers

One interesting discovery since I launched this site is just how many people are looking for a date who either doesn’t drink at all or at least drinks in moderation. Clearly, when we are young, many of us meet our partners in bars and nightclubs - when alcohol can help you feel more confident and likely to talk to someone - but these are the most likely people to be serious drinkers.

The solution of course is to move away from trying to meet a date in a drinking establishment, and instead move to somewhere that is more “hobby-related” for want of a better idea.

Instead of going out to bars looking for a date, consider your own hobbies and interests. Maybe you love horses. Then join the local riding stables. Maybe you’re passionate about third world debt. Then get involved with a local charity.

Spend some time researching the clubs and locations where you can not only indulge in your interests (which means if you *don’t* meet a date immediately, you’re still having fun all the same) but also hopefully meet someone with whom you immediately have something in common. This of course means you’re far more likely to get on well, you have an instant topic of conversation and you have an activity you can both do together for a date.
