Do you drink?

I received a message from a girl in one of the online dating websites.

She: "Do you drink?"
Me: "Hi. I drink water, fruit juice, anything non-alcoholic. What about you?"
She: "Ugh! I was going to ask you out for a drink. Guess not"
Me: "There are so many drinkers out there. I am pretty sure that all of them are interested to go out with someone like you."

I didn't get any answer from her for a while. I thought that she didn't want to continue this conversation, but she sent me another message after an hour

She: "Ha! I don't drink much. Maybe 1 drink every couple months. But you might be right."
Me: "I see. But how a person that can't never do without "A small flask of whiskey" and thinks that drinks "desperately," drinks only once "every couple months"? By the way, if you don't drink that much, you can do what I do. Ask people out for a coffee. It is easier :)"

She: "I love whiskey and scotch. I'm in yoga teacher training and normally do not drink for health. I wrote that 1 yr ago and haven't changed it. I will do that next time, noted."
Me: "I am very interested in yoga. I read a book about it, and I practiced it myself. Last semester, I joined a yoga class, but I couldn't finish it because I was busy. I may join it again next semester. If you are not living far from me, I am interested to ask you out for a coffee in a Starbucks."

She: "I live off of ... . If you promise not to pass judgement or read too far into things, then yes.
Me: "Thank you for accepting. I am living near coit and campbell. So, you are not far and not so close. OK. I promise. My friend has invited me to his home tonight, so we can meet sometime tomorrow afternoon."
She: "I can't this week. I have to prepare some lessons, practice, and work. Next week?"
Me: "OK. Contact me when you are available."

I sent the last sentence tomorrow because I went to Martin's house. I don't know if she interpreted this as a sign of not being interested or not.


She was pretty, and she wanted to be a teacher. She was half Aztec Indian and half Caucasian that kind of make her a unique appearance. She was not my type of girl for marriage because she was doing drugs, and she didn't have any religion, but I was interested to see her. I don't know if I can meet her next week or not, but if I could I consider it as a good first experience.
