I've started to see a new trend in dating. Men no longer ask a girl to dinner, they always ask her out for a drink. Now I'm not bragging but, this has happend several times recently. Do guys use this as a way to measure if you're good enough to spend money on for dinner? Do they feel it's easier this way...less pressure? Have men become cheap and don't want to take a girl out for dinner? Or is it that men no longer feel it's necessary to court a woman?
With the few people in recent days that have asked me if I would go out for a drink none of them I've actually gone out with and met. The biggest reason is that I'm not ready. I'm not ready to start dating someone and go through the entire process of getting to know someone and putting myself out there.(I know...I probably need therapy)
Now I know one person was just asking me out for a drink because he was being nice. It was business. And in fact, he flaked out on the drinks. We never met up. So if was asking me because he wanted more he didn't try too hard.
I digress.
The point is, I've noticed that is an interesting trend with single men these days and I'm not sure why. If you're a single man maybe you can shed a little light for a girl.

Strange, but since I'm not a drinker myself, a bar would be the last place I'd be looking to go. I'd be looking to actually GO to dinner, because I've always thought conversation over dinner is a nice way to get to know someone. But that's just me.
Not that I'm an expert, I mean, I can count my major relationships on one hand....
It's called casual dating and it is nothing new. People dont have the time to spend going to dinner all the time, not to mention the cost of a dinner date has skyrocketed out of control. This isnt Texas where you can get a super meal for low prices. Lets face it, a casual dinner date costs around a bill and a half... yet wages havent paced the same rate of inflation, so we work longer hours, leaving less time in the evening for dating...
