| Worst Foods For First Dates Posted: 6/9/2012 7:59:52 PM | | I like lobster....tails served on a bed of lettuce next to a steak. I really think it's disgusting being handed a pliers, a stupid bib and told to tear apart a large red, expensive crustacean for my dinner. | |

Nothing more awkward than finding that the lettuce leaf stuck to your fork is about three times the size of your mouth.
How about going to the ladies’ room after an hour or so of conversation to discover a bright green stalk of broccoli between your front teeth?
Spaghetti is bad to end up wearing.
There’s tons of seafood available in Maine. Scallops, oysters… clams would be fun to dig out and fling across the room or in your date’s eye. First date food fight sounds like fun to me. :) | |

| Worst Foods For First Dates Posted: 6/9/2012 8:37:38 PM | Sloppy Seconds...snicker...
Corn on the Cob...no no no!!!!!! The voice of experience speaks. | |
|
| Worst Foods For First Dates Posted: 6/9/2012 8:39:56 PM | I steer clear of spaghetti as ive never been able to twirl it into the spoon successfully......... Oh and baby spinach leaves which always end up covering a tooth *smile* *Edit* Lol @ Fleuron.......yeah,broccoli,too(stuck in your teeth,hehe) | |

| Worst Foods For First Dates Posted: 6/9/2012 8:49:17 PM | Escargot, boiled okra, soup, garlic, watermelon, corn on the cob, chicken wings... Slurpy slimey foods... Some DO eats would be fried mushrooms, asparagus, banana's, avocado's, chocolates and other aphrodisiac foods :) Yum yum! | |

| Worst Foods For First Dates Posted: 6/9/2012 9:21:40 PM | on topic for the off topic
^^^^^Ummm, so, when do you finally decide to eat? And maybe don't go to the bathroom together........? (totally off topic......your profile is great!)
You were not kidding. I had to go look and now that Pig has dissed me I am looking for a new love and...if you don't mind some forum polygamy :) That has to be one of the best profiles I have seen written.
But to the poster himself....one must eat....evenutally and that will be the first meet and eat so....I wonder what his choice would be.
I am sticking to my guns on the crawfish but I can't imagine watching someone stuff their face with anything. I hate the feeling of being full. Having said that, I always take a tooth brush, mouthwash and dental floss. Spinach is my worst nightmare on a date...I never order it. | |

| Worst Foods For First Dates Posted: 6/9/2012 10:09:26 PM | | I once made tacos the old school way..with shredded beef ..it was a crunchy mess,but soo good. | |
|
| Worst Foods For First Dates Posted: 6/9/2012 10:19:37 PM | | I just order what I like and enjoy the company and the meal, I get nervous enough without worrying about the food too! ( I would steer clear of anything overtly sexual though bananas, popsicles etc..... has never come up, but THIS I would notice!) | |
|
| Worst Foods For First Dates Posted: 6/9/2012 10:47:37 PM | | On 1st dates I avoid Big Macs, gyros, tacos, ribs, wings, corn cobs, liver & onions. A burger would be ok as long as it's not a messy burger. A salade would be fine. If the lettuce leaf was bigger than my mouth, i'd cut it w/a knife. | |
|
| Worst Foods For First Dates Posted: 6/9/2012 10:51:28 PM | Anything overly messy or with tons of fiber (could be gurgly and/or gassy later).  | |

| Worst Foods For First Dates Posted: 6/9/2012 11:07:48 PM | | who the **** cares. eat what you want. they'll see your mouth full at some point any way, if all goes well. | |

| Worst Foods For First Dates Posted: 6/9/2012 11:43:10 PM | Spaghetti is not a popular date food. Looks weird half-hanging out of your mouth while you are trying to slurp it in, splish-splashing sauce in the periphery...
Also void Italian beef sandwiches because they tend to be soaked in juice, and the meat keeps sliding out the other end.
Unless you are both eating the same thing and you are confident that you can handle the mess rather gracefully, order something that can be eaten with regular utensils.
Once I was eating with my then boyfriend at a barbecue ribs joint, and he grabbed one of the 'special' sauce bottles, and squeezed over his plate. But the bottle was not delivering promptly, so he squeezed and squeezed, until the whole cap of the bottle flew off along which the special sauce, and I mean FLEW on his plate, his shirt, my shirt, the walls. the window, the whole booth and the floor -I don't know about the people behind us. The waiter run with a roll of paper towels to wipe us up, and he gave my boyfriend a store T-shirt to change, because he looked like a murder victim. I still laugh to tears every time I remember it, but if it was me who had done it, I would have probably been mortified... | |

Nice double entendre/sexual innuendo!  | |
|
| Worst Foods For First Dates Posted: 6/10/2012 2:00:47 AM | | ^ I like a full mouth, just so long as not the the beans part of the wieners... | |
|
| Worst Foods For First Dates Posted: 6/10/2012 2:16:21 AM | | I would also avoid anything so spicy it makes my eyes water and my eyeliner run. | |
|
| Worst Foods For First Dates Posted: 6/10/2012 4:06:07 AM | I like to fly in the face of the 'don't eat crowd'. Sharing a plate of something are great for dates! Messy sharing platters such as garlic bread, sticky finger foods and rack of ribs number in some of my most memorable dates! But then I don't lock myself in for 'food dates' unless there's already chemistry except this one time. We sat in silence eating our food with knifes and forks like a meeting of the prim and proper society! Horrifying. Almost nightmarish!
Not sure if this translates well to the internet world yet... | |

Omg, that IS nightmarish. I can imagine the cutlery clink and amplified chewing sounds and trying to find a spot to focus on that isn’t my date. I would have to fight the urge to break out laughing hysterically, which would make me want to laugh even more. Then if I did laugh I’d appear psychotic.
I think I’d have to excuse myself and disappear permanently from that horror. | |
|
| Worst Foods For First Dates Posted: 6/10/2012 8:14:18 AM | I can't imagine that ever happening to me. I can carry on a conversation all by myself. You just gotta sit there and nod.
I'm not very prim or proper. | |
