For context I (32m) took a woman (32f) on a date the other night and I made the supposedly awful choice of ordering a mountain dew as a beverage. I had worked earlier in the day and was feeling a little tired so I figured it would pick me up a little bit, get my mind out of the fog of having worked a long day. I would usually just order water but I've been to this place before and ordered water, but it tasted awful, like how I would assume sewage would taste like. I thought nothing of it but for most of the date she kept saying things like "I can't believe you drink that" "How old are you again?" "I haven't drank that since I was 12" etc.
For reference I'm 6'2 with an athletic build and and mindful of my dental health. I normally don't even drink the stuff but figured it wouldn't be such a big deal. Now whenever we talk she's sure to slip in "Have you had your mountain dew today?" or "Up late drinking mountain dew?" or if I say I'm tired she'll say i should go drink some and wake up. Like damn just get over it, it was one time and I think i only drank like half of it. I told her in the past that I'm in AA which she was 100% behind telling me she had family and friends in the program, or I would've just drank a beer or something. I didn't say anything to her about what she drank or what she ate.
I understand joking about it but damn just let it go already, I know what not to drink around her going forward. Next time it happens I'm just gonna say enough already I get it. I'm not gonna stop seeing her over this but it makes me hesitate on bringing up certain topics like my hobbies, the music I listen to, or the video games I play, not knowing if any of them will be up to the standards of what she thinks a grown man should or shouldn't be doing.
I just wonder if she keeps nagging me about this, what happens in the future when something nag-worthy actually happens, it's like she fixates on one "negative" thing which in hindsight doesn't seem all that negative to me. I dunno, figured I would post here and see what you all have to say, if anything. Thanks.
