10 foods to avoid on a first date
First dates are awkward and nerve-wrecking on their own, don’t make it worse by ordering foods that require hands on attention or saucy foods.
1. Spaghetti: Let’s face it, Lady and the Tramp is a fictional story about dogs. It will not be romantic, instead of looking graceful and elegant like Lady you may just end up looking like this:
2. Shellfish: The awkwardness of a first date will skyrocket if you’re sitting across from your date tearing open crab and sucking on those mussels.
3. Soup: It’s great on a winters day but not on a first date. You run the risk of spilling on your silky blouse and one tends to slurp when eating soup.
4. Ribs or wings: The sauce is messy and there’s no way to eat it without using your hands.
5. Spinach or leafy greens: Imagine sitting across from your date staring into each other’s eyes when suddenly, she smiles and a dark green piece of spinach greets you from her front tooth.
6. Beans: The last thing needed is for someone to release a pungent smell and having to pretend it was someone else.
7. Onions or garlic: What’s the use in brushing your teeth before a date if you are going to ruin it by eating garlic? Remember, first impressions count and no one wants to be remembered to have stinky breath.
8. Hamburgers: Everyone likes a big juicy hamburger but be warned, there is a very good chance the contents will fall onto your lap or plate which just leaves a nice big mess.
9. The same thing as your date: Don’t be boring. Be original.
10. Very expensive foods: Don’t be that person. Ordering expensive foods could make you come across as high maintenance and increase the possibility of there being no second date.
