1. A second (or third) round is a universal symbol that you are enjoying yourself. If you’re not, end the date to avoid mixed signals.
2. On the other hand, a second (or third) round is just a symbol that you are enjoying yourself in that moment. It’s not a promise to marry you. You don’t get to expect anything out of your date because of it.
3. Do not ask your date if they’d like to get another round and then when they say yes, reply “Cool. I’m not going to have one, but you should go ahead.” This is misleading and awkward. If you’d like to stick around but don’t want another alcoholic beverage, try something like, “Do you want to get another round? I’d love to, though I might switch to club soda since I’m driving home.”
