Worst Foods For First DatesPage 1 of 3    (1, 2, 3)
This was mentioned at a family member's birthday party that I attended today amongst some of us, women.
Thought this was an interesting topic to think over hoping to help others along the way with first date food ideas.

Living in Maine, I made the mistake of having lobster on a first date with one of my ex boyfriends. Not once did I think to ask myself, do I even know how to eat a lobster?? (never had one before at this time) Cracking the shell Etc. I was just too excited I guess. When handed the tool and little bowl of butter, I was embarassed feeling as red as the cooked lobster!

Has anyone had experiences of their own having suggestions of food not to eat on first dates...

Anything laden with garlic unless your date is eating it too.

Chicken wings, especially the ones dripping with gooey sauce. That looks real sexy running down your fingers and the side of your cheek.

No crawfish or anything that's eaten with bare hands, except maybe a sandwich.

I think the lobster thing would be fine.. if they didnt know how to do it you can have fun showing them how.
Only issue is if they dont eat meat or wore fancy clothes.

I honestly cant think of anything that would be bad unless they were allergic to it.

No haggis on a first date.

No haggis period, that's just gross.

B33Happy- Lobster I can handle.
Foods I avoid (major messiness factor) on a first date are-
Ribs
Hot wings
Hamburgers
Fried chicken
Btw-I'm starting to think somebody is OVER jealous with the delete thread business, note moderators are NOT paid ;)

I agree with the crawfish. Went on a first date with a guy who ordered it and all night long he smelled like it...It was so yucky. He couldn't get rid of the smell no matter how many times he washed his hands. We both knew it had splattered on his clothes too. He suggested stopping by his house and changing clothes but I was a no go on that one.

We just cut the date short.

Salads. Nothing more awkward than finding that the lettuce leaf stuck to your fork is about three times the size of your mouth. And I found out the hard way never to put a whole cherry tomato into your mouth and bite down. I'll bet his eye is still burning.

Also, spaghetti. It just doesn't behave itself no matter how you try to tame it.

If I'm going to be eating, I'll order something I enjoy eating. If it's messy, it's messy, I know how to use a napkin. It can be fun and good for a few laughs. I am just used to doing what I'd do anyway, I don't treat it being a first date or whatever any different.

YOU ORDERED THE LOBSTER ON A FIRST DATE???!!!?????

OMG!!!


I thought all mothers taught all daughters, NEVER order the Lobster on a first date. Unless the guy picks you up in a limo, and has his own driver, of course.

Not only did she order the lobster, it was her first lobster ever.

I prefer the Peppered crab. Just as messy, twice as delicious.

I was so caught up in the moment when he asked!
I really really liked him!

Yet unfortunately, I learned a few days later he had a bad temper resulting him to throw things uncontrollably. Thankfully, I didn't have to discover this personally.

I belong to a large group of friends that does a dinner party once a month. We always have a theme. For the February party we did an Anti-Valentines theme. You were supposed to wear something you would never wear on a first date and we all brought a dish that you would never order on a first (or most) dates. It was awesome.

Actually all foods are pretty much bad. Nothing good romantically can come from feeding your gastrointestinal track. They all produce an odor in one end, and then another odor out the other. And that's assuming that it doesn't produce something much worse.

That's why I really dislike going to restaurants on a first date. It's risky.

I am thinking Beans made with lots of garlic and onions would rank as a bad meal for a first date

Bwahahaha. That's hilarious! I broke that rule. I had a salad on my last date. Damn delicious one, too (no tomatoes, though!). My problem with them is they never ever seem to go away. You eat and eat and eat and the damn thing grows and grows and grows.

My pick for worst foods would be anything with tentacles. Seriously. No kiss for you. And none of that fancy dancing squid - that dish that uses soy sauce (for the sodium) to make the squid wiggle on the plate.
