“I’m dating a girl who doesn’t drink. I do, and I feel awkward enjoying a cokctail at dinner. What should I do?” —Jacob G., Salt Lake City, UT
Well, fellas, courtesy is the name of the game here. If her preference is to not sip a brewski at dinner, adapt to her request. Ask, “Mind if I order a drink?” I’ll bet she’ll be cool with it (and admire your gentlemanly ask). If not, enjoy her company without the drink. Or, meet in the middle—mix up a unique mocktail, like this one.
