Don't Be Controlling: First Date Advice from a NY Matchmaker

No one likes to be told what to do, especially on a first date. Although you may think you’re doing your date a favor by “suggesting” they not order a specific dish, you’re more than likely going to come off a bit controlling. As someone new to their life, you don’t know what their taste buds might be craving, so although you may think you’re just being friendly or helpful, stop while you’re ahead. One man’s Kobe beef, is another’s burger.
