More Table Manners and Dining Etiquette Advice for Dating

Don’t eat too much or too little. If you eat too much during dinner, you may come off looking as though you starved yourself all week for this one meal, and if you eat too little, you may seem uninterested in the date and/or wasteful. A happy medium is always the best route when it comes to dining out. This doesn’t mean you can’t order an appetizer before your entrée, it just means that you should be aware of your presentation—and that goes beyond your physical attributes and carries into the actual dining part of the date.

Proper Restaurant Behavior When Dating

Be kind to the wait staff. If the service at the restaurant you’ve chosen is lacking a bit and maybe not up to par, remember your manners and use them. No matter how much you may want to make a scene and demand to speak to the manager, that’s a first impression you just don’t want to make. Always say “please” and “thank you” when it comes to service people – even if it means doing so with gritted teeth.

Also don't forget to tip and tip well! A lot can be said for those who tip generously--they're not only un-stingy, but they're grateful and understand that being in the service business is actually a really tough job.
