Do you like to drink? If so, her non-drinking policy may get in the way along the road somewhere. Some guys think they can get past it, but it's a huge obstacle.

Ether on a rag will also loosen her up..... If not, I think Killers idea of a coffee shop is a good thing.

Wow, I never took a first date out for drinks. Mainly because I would turn into a drunken idiot. There is plenty of stuff you can do.

Ice skating, then go somewhere warm like a coffee shop. Obviously you're going to have to use your best game during ice skating since there are so many ways to make her laugh when skating. After you both have a great time skating, then go warm up somewhere with coffee or hot cocoa. If she doesn't get the fact that you're interested after that, then you are platonic man or she only wants to be friends.

Si Senior. Even if it never comes to her asking YOU not to drink or drink less or less often it STILL becomes a problem. Trust me. And its lame to be having a great time drankin with friends but have this sober sitter girlfriend. It's like lugging around an un-fun rock everywhere and she'll get angry or annoyed when you get wild and are having fun... but I digress. I'm not saying don't date her - just watch out and consider the implications of a teetotaller gf.

I just saw the movie "just friends". This topic is so like that movie.

on another note, you need to just be up front. Dont dilly dally for to long b/c u could miss your chance. Go out to dinner, buy her some flowers & just tell her how ya feel. If she is into that mushy shit, you may have it in the bag..

I don't understand the alcohol business....what's the point...??? Loosens you up??? :wtf:

Coffee shop sounds like a good idea....starbucks.

She smokes!

Have your friend informed you that he has interest in her? If yes, he told YOU before you told HIM. He would probably feel betrayed if you asked her out before he got the chance to.

On the other hand, if it was HER that told you that she has the interest in your friend, then she isn't interested in you (unless she's just being female and doing that to make you jealous because she really likes you? The way to tell is by her body language towards you.)

But if you really wanna get with this girl, stop waiting around. Maybe start talking to her about what she likes in a guy. If she keeps describing your friend, forget her.

Don't get me wrong, I love booze, but if you can't take someone out on a date without drinking, you've got more serious problems than just where to go on a date.

Also, if you like to drink and your gf doesn't... that definitely poses a problem too. She probably won't want to put up with your drunken antics later on down the road.

And if you do end up taking her to an alcohol-serving establishment, ask her if she's ok with you drinking if she doesn't at all. Be considerate.
