The other day my girlfriend and I were discussing the magic that engulfs us when we start dating someone new... what is it exactly that is so engaging about those first few weeks? Is it how interesting they are? How good looking? How intelligent?We realized oftentimes it comes down to three little words:
Wine And Dine.
This little expression gets thrown around all the time. Wine and dine her, wine and dine her. And the other day it dawned on me: Liquor is HALF the equation when it comes to dating early on.
You go out to a swanky restaurant, he wants to impress you, you want to impress him, and lets face it, you are both a little nervous. That, and you both want to have fun. So what do you do?
You drink. He drinks. He gets tipsy (maybe) and you get drunk.
Two rasberrytinis later, he is charming, gorgeous, and gasp, the love of your life... you can feel it!
And before you have time to doubt yourself, you are on date number two, this time feeling the glow only two mojitos can bring on.
Ladies. Wine and Dine. This strategy is designed to ruin us. Next time you're on a first, second, third of fourth date, put the drinks away and get to know each other...
It'll save you the disillusionment (and the hangover) when the haze wears off and you wonder, what happened to the man I fell for? If there is truly a connection... it'll be even more magnetic without the liquor.

I don't know if I can fully agree. Sometimes, I hate to say it, without the liquor we get to nervous and end up not being ourselves at all. I'm not advocating getting drunk, but it doesn't hurt to get a little tipsy!
