If its your first dinner date with someone, what are you likely to order?

Question

Pretend its a restaurant that serves every type of cuisine. And pretend you are paying for your own meal (which you should be, both ladies and gentleman, in my opinion lol). But What would you order?  I honestly just want to see who’s comfortable and will eat whatever. I’m definitely that female who is not comfortable eating much on the first few dates. I’d probably order a burger and fries but i’d just nibble at the same french fry the whole time we’re there. He’d likely laugh at me lol. I know my exes would be like “Are you gonna eat that?” And then they’d just eat my food along with their own. Like damn, i was gonna take that to go and chow down once I got home 🤣 #FeelFreeToList #WhatsForDinner

First of all! White chicks iz da shiiyat 👩🏼.
So i am a chef, and i know restaurants that the majority would appreciate. Some delicious small appetizers like smoked duck, amazing soups, a veggie mix dish and then order food, i always recommend the ox cheek beef with red wine sauce dish, it is one of the most delicious meats i ever had. And after all that, a dessert! It's always a pass for me, i can eat that much but if my date wants, i would order for her, and a nice small ice cream cup for me. Of course i am paying, i am a gentleman and that is one of the many things i do. I always ask before i book, i give some options like lets say! A swedish homemade restaurant? An Austrian? Or French? If she says: you pick , so all three are perfect and i just pick one and it's done.

I’m the same and done eat much on first dates. I try to get food that’s easy to eat lol. I try not to order things like a burger or long grain pasta because I get embarrassed lol.

I went a couple of dates with this dude and he would eat a lot and he would eat super fast. Meanwhile I would be eating all slow cause I was shy. One time he scarfed his food down and I was actually eating in front of him this time. Then he stopped eating, put his food down, and just looked at me to talk. I had barely eaten my food, but stopped eating cause I was too embarrassed to eat while he watched me. He kept telling me to eat, but I just couldn’t do it while he wasn’t eating too lol.

Shark_61695 · Answer

I'd steer away from food I'd pick up so no burger, ribs, pizza, etc. I'd also avoid my normal option of copious so no mixed grill, sharing platter or similar massive meal.

This leaves meat, pie or some such. Depends on what is on the menu and how I feel at the time. I'm not one for planning what I'm going to eat. I've even been known to have a salad if it sounds tasty.

Starter and main is my preference and I've been known to have starter or side as a dessert but I'd gauge my company and follow my instincts. I don't want to scare her off too early :)

collie22 · Answer

dim sum dishes like fried dumplings, bite-sized meats, steamed buns, spring rolls, rice and noodle dishes, and creamy desserts. fun is in sharing the different dishes, and enjoying the variety of tastes.

nawtee_me · Answer

If she is buying... The most expensive thing on the menu is how to set ground rules you know... lol If I am buying... Peanut butter and Jelly sandwich. Wait it is a refined dinner so cut the crust off... ;)

slatyb · Answer

1. If I have invited a woman to dinner, I'm happy to pay for her meal. It's not our first date unless I've known her for a while.
2. I order whatever I want. If I'm paying, I'm happy for her to do the same, except for ordering expensive bottles of wine or other exotic items (Shots of 30-year-old whiskey, etc.) $40 steak? No problem. If I can't afford the menu entrees I wouldn't have taken her there.

ohshee · Answer

I would have a steak baked potato and an artichoke ice water Big Lots milk maybe even iced tea you can have whatever she wants expecially if I asked her out and pay for it but the odds are I'm going to take for it anyway I don't give a fuk about women's alliteration liberation whatever the fuck they call it nowadays I could care less about all that crap now I wish I could read the whole question LOL

midnightmoon05 · Answer

I am very comfortable and natural when going on any dates.. first or …
I don’t really recall or need to worry what to order or be nervous …
I also make my date comfortable.
in terms of what I ordered, it depends on the type of restaurants.
however it was never burger or fries.
with my ex. husband was Korean food… neither of us are Korean. We had a good time.
my honey now… hummmm… Italian…?
an ex… was French restaurant.

SeekerOfBooty · Answer

If I have to be stuck on a dinner date, then I'm ordering myself the whole damn course.
But my one rule is to not order any tough meat out of fear that it will get stuck between my teeth, so seafood it is usually.

I'm too OCD to not whip out my trusty dental floss and start flossin right there and then.

icelolly · Answer

Northeast Indian food.

But given how Northeast is ignored in India itself, I don't suppose anyone knows about northeast let alone their cuisines.

The cuisines are meat dominated, mostly pork, fish, beef and ducks. Very less or no spices at all. Pungent flavours with a variety of side dishes and dips. Strong and flavorful local homemade beer goes along very well with the food.

t-8900 · Answer

Well buffalo wings, Cheesesteaks, BBQ ribs, pizza, and Calzones are my favorites. Bur a pizzeria isn't a place to go for a first date if trying to leave a good first impression I guess. Can't say gnocchi or raviolis either cuz of keto 😭 I guess pot roast. Tbh I prefer a good slow cooked roast that falls apart as you poke it over steak in a gravy with onions, celery, Carrots, cabbage, and potatoes. Since; m keto ofc not potato or carrots 😭 guess I'll sub with cauliflower 😢

FinalFantasyBro · Answer

For my main auntre I definitely order a chicken parmesan and noodle. While my dessert after my dinner is chocolate lava cake.

Staximus · Answer

I could order anything, dishes that you can share are good. Where I'm from, If a guy doesn't buy a girl the first meal then he's a chump. If I buy a girl a dinner and she didn't eat it, that would be the last meal of hers I'm paying for. Eat your damned burger!

Prettysammie · Answer

They can serve anything? I would order only phallic looking and sexually suggestive food just to mess with him. Sucking the cream from a cannoli, sausages, I don’t even know what I would get or if I’d like it. But a restaurant that serves anything is too good a thing to pass up.

ElvenMr · Answer

Let's say we don't even get fat from eating it okay? 😆

Big Mac and fries with some drinks. Ice-cream too maybe.
After that some kind of pizza.
I'd order just one Pizza. We'd eat it together.

by the way Terry has some big lips lol. I never noticed that.

Guido · Answer

I've taken her to a nice fancy restaurant. Ordered win and Duck l'orange. Nervous so didn't eat it all but it was delicious. And I don't let my dates pat if I asked them to dinner. Just my upbringing and I would feel bad if I did. And no I did not expect anything from. Her at the end of the date. At the end of the night, I walked her to her door, kissed her cheek, told her I had a good time and that I wanted to see her again. And that was the start of several moths.

whosnumber1 · Answer

I'm going to go easy on things that give me bad breath. garlic and onions. something easy on the stomach. couple appys we can share and a good salad. of course leaving room for dessert. if I'm drinking I would limit myself to one beer and maybe a highball like an old fashioned... daddy loves the old fashioneds

Aerissa_Jade · Answer

Something not messy as I'll be all dressed up and wouldn't want to spill anything messy on my cloths.

Maybe a salad, but chances are I already ate a little before a date so I can spend my time focusing on him and getting to know him better.

RobT312 · Answer

Eat whatever I’m picking up the check.
I don’t judge what people eat at restaurants.
I think I’d go to a shared plate place we can pick out a few things together. You can get to know someone by food!

Cherry234 · Answer

I guess pasta or some type of fish. But if I was getting a burger then I would get a veggie burger or a black bean burger. I like chickpea burgers too.

the_sinner · Answer

Iideally ’d order something which would be easy to eat and won’t make much of a mess while eating. But I’d also try to ask my date what she likes to eat and if it matches my liking then we both would definitely order that even if it’s messy.

If we’re doing messy then we do it together 😉

Lliam · Answer

It depends on where we went. I'd look at the menu and decide what I felt like. And if I asked someone on a date, I would expect to pay unless they insisted.
