There is also another scenario that may arise-you really like the guy and get on amazingly well. he really likes you .He IS a drinker,as carl says - no probably about it. So what do you do? He suggests next date meeting for drinks,you really like him, you're tempted, maybe he's not keen to date a non drinker - see how this is going? At 8 days do you have the strength to not drink?
