Lame single guy last minute cancels on date for shocking reason: ‘Tells me everything I need to know'

Dating in 2025 is hard — especially when a glass of wine is now considered a non-negotiable. One TikTokker says her date bailed just 30 minutes before they were supposed to meet up — all because she doesn't drink booze. 'The guy I was supposed to be on a date with right now decided to cancel our date less than an hour before it started,' Steph (@stephfromjersey) said in a viral clip posted on July 17. In the viral video, Steph explained that everything was going smoothly. The two were texting and getting excited to meet up when he popped a seemingly innocent question: 'Are you more of a cocktail girl or a beer girl?' That's when Steph revealed she doesn't drink — for medical reasons. But she made it clear she didn't mind if he did: 'But I don't care if you drink, and I always find something!' Apparently that was still too sobering for him. 'Oh… yeah, idk if that's gonna work for me, we should cancel now,' he texted back — and then went totally silent, leaving Steph on read. Fellow TikTok users flooded the comments with support and speculation about the mystery man's motives. One user wrote, 'Translation: 'you mean I can't get you drunk? I'm out.' Another commented, 'He had something for your drink, I'm sure.' 'As a sober person, before I was sober… I would have not been stoked to date a mocktail person because they would see who/what I was,' someone else chimed in. The TikTokker revealed her date ditched her just 30 minutes before they were set to meet — all because she doesn't drink booze. StephfromJersey/TikTok 'Now, when I'm cancelled on, that tells me everything I need to know about them.' An additional commenter assured Steph that 'Rejection is protection.' But not everyone was ready to raise a red flag. Some pointed out it might just come down to lifestyle and compatibility. 'My boyfriend and I are getting wine tomorrow and going to sit in the jacuzzi and drink it,' one noted. 'Sure, I could do that with someone who doesn't drink. But I'd prefer to do it with someone who does.' 'I guess I see it both ways,' one other said. 'My husband and I LOVE wine tastings and things like that. Mutual enjoyment. I can see how a partner that doesn't drink could complicate things.' Others compared it to being 'super outdoorsy' — you want someone who shares your passions. Just sub out the hiking boots for a bar tab. But nearly everyone agreed: ghosting someone at the last minute isn't exactly gentlemanly. Some commenters blamed the guy's decision to cancel the date on wanting a compatible lifestyle with someone. fizkes – As The Post previously spilled, Gen Z is shaking up drinking culture — and ditching the booze. The youngest legal drinkers are trading bar tabs for matcha lattes, wellness shots and cold brews on tap. According to Keurig Dr Pepper's first-ever State of Beverages report, it's not about getting buzzed — it's about feeling better. Just 39% of Gen Z adults say alcohol is their go-to social sip, while more than 60% now reach for non-alcoholic options when hanging with friends — the driest stats of any generation. Gen X, meanwhile, is still clinging to their cocktails — with 57% saying booze is their go-to social fuel. In 2025, it seems the biggest buzzkill isn't the hangover — it's getting stood up for skipping the alcohol. Cheers to finding a date who drinks to your vibe, not just their own.
