First impressions are still everything especially when it comes to meeting a potential partner, and what you eat in front to them can sometimes make or break the chances of getting a second date. It’s probably easier to answer this question by listing some of the foods you probably don’t want to order versus what you should. Any kind of finger foods that tend to be drippy and messy are best avoided. That goes for chicken wings, barbecue ribs, sloppy Joes, and gigantic burgers. Also, any kind of pasta that’s swimming in a lot of sauce might be best set aside for when the two of you know each other better. That’s because the noodles can splash liquid on you or the table when you try to eat them. And if you like your date enough that you’re hoping for a kiss, garlic bread or any kind of dish with a lot of garlic in it is a no-no! Don’t be shy, however, about sharing a (non-messy) appetizer or dessert!
