As soon as you tell people you do not drink, they suddenly are confused. They don't know what to serve you or where to invite you for a good time.

Funny how that happens.

Well I don't drink much these days. So a common question I get asked: "What are fun date ideas that don't involve drinking?"

Contrary to "Manosphere" types, I recommend activity dates. The relationship benefits outweigh the cost benefits.

Frankly, if you can't afford $30 or more for a date, your problem isn't girls. It's you.

You lack ambition and the right network to boost your income to the next level.

So I'm going to help you in two ways.

First, here are date ideas with no alcohol.

1— Coffee/Smoothie date

2— Mini-golf/Billiards/Ping pong/etc

3— Ice cream

4— Walk/short hike (1 mile or less) in the park

5— Classy bakery for artful pastries

6— Photo session. Show up with a camera take photos of the scene around you

7— Casino. Set a budget and don't spend above it.

8— Trip to the beach or pool.

9— Classy bar (just don't order alcohol)

And more.

The principles are this...

Keep it simple. Be around a small crowd for people watching.

Get her blood pumping with controlled highs and lows. Spend money without being anal. Make the first or 30th date an adventure from how you propose it to how you execute.

She wants to be with a solid man who knows how to have fun. Prove you're that guy without being try-hard.

Show don't tell.

Being anxious about money ain't it.

Being anxious about sending "provider" vibes ain't it.

Nothing bores her more than your unresolved insecurities.

Again if this is a problem for you, stop dating.

Get things in check with Take Charge. Own your greatness without shame.

My second tool to help you along, is a network of brothers living how you want to live.

Join us now inside BROTHER'S KEEPER to discuss business, dating, women, fitness, investments, marketing, etc.

When you have a crew of solid men you get to talk about your anxieties freely. And resolve them in real-time.

That way you get to be Joe Cool with your girl 25/8/year-round.

Better than therapy.

This is the life hack your forefathers had. Why their marriages lasted til death. If you don't have a healthy male circle, you have to do everything on your own. Or worse, dump it on your woman.

Good luck with that.

Stay vigilant brother,

PS. Yesterday I took my girl to the casino. Whole lot of fun. So much fun that I felt better for making it real.

- People watching

- She felt highs and lows of winning and losing

- Spend money without questioning it (it's just money we can replace)

— When she wins I was her luck. She was my luck when I won. A united team. Ride or die.

I took a risk and it paid off. Are you willing to bet on yourself?

See you inside to discuss further.
