1. Salad

Salad Salad is a food you should never eat on a date. Men like women with hearty appetites. Ordering salad sends the wrong message, and that message is: I'm a finicky eater who's always on a diet.

2. Spaghetti

Spaghetti I love pasta. It's really, really amazing. But spaghetti is messy. You want to be a lady, not a tomato sauce slob. Skipping spaghetti means no red sauce on your pretty white blouse.

Frequently asked questions

3. Anything with Extra Garlic

Anything with Extra Garlic Think of garlic like your worst enemy. It’s tasty, but it’s a no-no. Never, ever, ever order anything very garlicky on a date.

4. Barbecue

Barbecue Any entrée that needs a wet nap should always be avoided. No guy wants to look at a girl with sauce all over her face and fingers and rib meat in her teeth. You want to be sexy, not a hot mess.

5. Spinach

Spinach When you flash your signature smile, you want your date to see your pearly whites, not a chunk of spinach.

6. Lobster

Lobster Lobster is delish, I know. But, it can get very sloppy. Your date wants to kiss you at the end of the night. He doesn’t want you to be covered in butter and a bib.

7. Hamburgers

Hamburgers A hamburger and an enormous bun can turn into a bit of an eating disaster. Save yourself the embarrassment and order something that’s easier to eat.

8. Soup

Soup Soup can be hard to eat politely. Slurping sounds aren’t a turn on.

9. Ice Cream Cone

Ice Cream Cone Ice cream cones are tasty, I know. But, on any date, avoid foods that need to be licked. For real, no man needs that kind of pressure and no woman wants that kind of attention.

10. Mozzarella Sticks

Mozzarella Sticks Fried cheese is pretty amazing. It’s so good it’s almost a delicacy. But, it can get really, really messy the minute you eat it. A woman with a mouthful of cheese isn’t too appealing.

11. Pesto

Pesto Anything with pesto will 99% get caught in your teeth. Could you imagine being out with someone who has food stuck in their teeth? I certainly cant!

12. Substitutions

Substitutions I’m a person who constantly makes changes to whatever I’m eating. I’m a particular eater, and I know it drives some people crazy. When you make tons of substitutions on a date, your man might think you’re high maintenance or a tad bit annoying. Order something simple, instead of having to make an item change.

This food list is to help you avoid a dating disaster. Yes, there are tons of delicious foods that you want to try, but save them for dinner with your girlfriends. Do you have any extra foods to add to the list?

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

Was this article written in 1940? Women shouldn't have to be afraid of not making a good impression. If your date likes you, he will like you no matter if you have a but of spinach stuck in your teeth. No one is perfect and pretending to be is so 1940s.

I think you should just be yourself! If you really like a salad on the menu order it because you like it! It's more annoying to date someone who is always worrying about what people think

lame article

I think the article should speak to how to be confident to eat whatever you want, not what men like and don't like.

Like, should I just eat nothing then?! Why burgers?! ;-;

I think men would probably be attracted to a girl who ate barbecue or hamburgers!

Pizza can be horribly messy also. 😀

So what the heck are you supposed to eat if you can't eat any of these foods?!??

Oh wow, I couldn't agree more with the hamburger one 😁 been there, done that... Save yourself the embarrassment ladies

Very biased and opinionated article. Everyone is different and unique in their OWN way.
