Foods to Avoid on Your First Dinner Date

Although the point of a dinner date is to eat and enjoy yourself while getting to know someone new, there are a few foods you may want to consider avoiding:

• Leafy greens: yes, they’re great for you, but chomping into a spinach salad may lead to green flecks in your teeth – yikes!
• Anything spicy or unexpected: you may want to come off as daring, but if you’re trying something you've never had before, you may be setting yourself up for disaster. 
• Finger foods: can we say messy much?
• Excessive garlic and/or onion: this one should be very self-explanatory.
• Food you need to “work” at: lobster and crab may be some of the best food in the ocean, but if you have to spend the majority of your date focusing on your crustacean, then you could be missing out on conversation.
