We have people who don't drink using the service and they order non-alcoholic drinks at the venue--sometimes they're bars, sometimes lounges.
Alcohol does act as a pretty good social lubricant though. The girls actually prefer that to extravagant dates when we've suggested them because there's less pressure--if the chemistry isn't there, it's more acceptable to leave after that first round rather than commit to spending a lot of time with someone up front.
I don't think this service is for me at all. I'd prefer flexibility in places to meet and not having to resort to getting inebriated to meet someone :/ Coffee shops? I'm a girl, btw.
We're not saying you have to drink something alcoholic, we're just saying whatever beverage you choose to drink, we'll cover it. Think of the bar as a neutral place in public to meet up.
Our focus is on reducing all effort that goes into meeting someone, and the scheduling is part of that. Meeting during the day won't work because most our members are working on regular 9-5 schedules. Weekends are usually booked too.
What usually happens is if both people feel like it's going well, they'll exchange contact info at the venue and then plan something the following weekend and do something different.
