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?

So basically your suppose to eat AIR with a glass of water cuz you just list the majority of foods on a regular menu... Am I right or am I right!!! Lol

But i love garlic and all these food. But you do have a good point

Lol.. I ate a full blown hamburger. Going on 6 years with this man.

Here goes another post that tells you to make your decision based on what men deem acceptable or not🚶😒!

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

On a first date*

You should be able to eat whatever you want.... If the guy is worth dating- he won't care!

Don't eat salad u look like u are on a diet but don't eat burger it look like u like eating food . So basically don't eat on date send the wrong message but eating on a date send the wrong message too . Well then don't date ! I don't like this article

Well sure eat what you like .. But remember how you look at a long term relationship partner .. They look like a cow churning food , mouth open food on show , food jammed in your teeth ,sauce on you chin and everywhere . First impressions last .., not everyone can imagine falling for someone that looks like a pig eating out a bucket ... If you like this and it is fun .. Hold of at the beginning at least, test it out ... I mean you don't turn up in your pajamas.. Or unwashed , but later you might have the odd day where you both skip a shower

lol cindy thats what I thought! I actually scrolled back to see if I missed the part where it mentioned that this article was meant to be satirical. It wasn't.
