She canceled their date 15 minutes before they were supposed to because he didn't respect her boundaries.

Not respecting a 'No' for something as innocuous as not drinking doesn't bode well for other activites.

“I’ll change your mind”

“You just did.”

How it started:
"Hey, I don't drink." "We'll see about that."

How it's going:
"Hey, I don't have sex on the first date." "We'll see about that."
"Hey, I don't... in the butt..." "We'll see about that."
"Hey, not tonight, I have a headache and remember I just had major surgery." "We'll see about that."
"You're scaring me, I want to leave, stop blocking the door." "We'll see about that."
"Hey, actually I'm a lesbian." "We'll see about that."

Absolutely right thing to do. What a weirdo.

Nah, she's in the right here.

Eww. Yeah no. Crisis averted. “I’m convincing” sounds so extremely predatory and I wonder what else he is pushing convincing enough to force women to do.

I was waiting for this to be rage bait but then it was a reasonable story. Which was a new kind of frustrating.

Beyond him being weird to her, drinking habits are one of the biggest predictors of relationship success right up there with church going.

If any man said that they could change my mind, I would have already canceled then. Men don't joke, they test. And even if they do (rarely), it's too risky for women not to take that shit seriously. Better to be safe and single.

I feel this woman. I have 2 to 3 beers a year, if that. Some people cant handle if you don't take their offer of a drink.

My wife's best friend uses peer pressure to get her friends blackout drunk. I don't drink around her anymore, she no fun to be around when I want to have a good time.
