What does it mean if a guy asks you out for drinks rather than dinner?

Does that necessarily mean that he's just interested in sex? Or is it more like it's not even really a date so just chose something where the two of you don't have to spend hours together and he can leave after just one drink? I assume the very fact that he asked the girl to go out at all means that he doesn't find her totally replusive.

more specifically, he asked if I wanted to go for drinks. When I asked if he knew any good restaurants, he said no but he knows some good bars.

  • I would think he wants to get to know you first. Drinks are easier with someone you don’t know very well. I do think drinks are more casual and less pressure right off the bat.

  • He might be an alcoholic living on a liquid diet if he knows lots of bars but not restaurants. It doesn't mean he only wants sex but it is a tip off that he is into drinking so just know from the start if things get serious that you are getting into a relationship with an alcoholic and years down the road you can't get mad that he drinks or it'll be a deal breaker for him.

  • It's quite possible he knows he'd be more relaxed around you if he has a couple drinks in him. Some guys still need that bottle of nerve so don't read too much into it as it could be something as simple as that.
