Woman left horrified as date orders MILK to drink but others insist she’s being too judgemental – so who’s right?

WE’VE all got a terrible date story – maybe they insulted or embarrassed you, or even cried about their ex. 

But one woman has claimed her date went downhill when her ‘attractive’ match ordered, in her opinion, the wrong drink.

Taking to Mumsnet, the anonymous woman asked for advice, after revealing the man had ordered a glass of milk when the pair went out for dinner. 

She wrote: “I [went] on a first date with a guy I met online last night, went out for dinner. 

“When I got there I definitely found him attractive. However, when it came to ordering drinks he ordered himself a glass of milk. 

“I’ve honestly never came across someone doing that in a restaurant and I just think it’s really odd and really put me off him. 

“’I have tried to work out why this was such a turn-off and I can’t come up with a reason it just made me feel a bit yuck.” 

The post sparked a debate about ‘date etiquette’, and gained more than 489 reactions, reported the Daily Mail. 

Offering her opinion, one wrote: “More like something you’d give a child to have with an apple. Watch out for him being a secret adult nappy wearer.”

Another said: “It is a bit strange. Not really what you’d have as first choice with an adult meal!” 

Someone else commented: “Maybe with curry it isn’t that odd, equally burger and milkshake is acceptable so milk isn’t a massive step if he doesn’t like the texture of a thick milkshake. 

“Fancy restaurant having steak or pasta then milk is a bit weird!”

Although some did jump to the anonymous man’s defence, with one writing: “Maybe he just prefers milk. 

“I do too when at home, never ordered it with a meal so get why you might think it’s odd but not the worst thing someone could do.  It’s only milk, he didn’t order a pint of blood.”

@ILoveXmasChocsInNov added: “Maybe he had heartburn. It works really well” 

“Or maybe a sore throat. Or maybe he just fancied milk.” 

They then went on to add: “You don’t have to be reasonable about [finding it unattractive]. I always find eating bacon unattractive as I wonder if they’ll have bacon breath after.”
