Dating is already nerve-wracking… Why add more to your plate when it comes to choosing which dish to eat? Keep things simple for yourself, so you don’t have to worry about more than the person in front of you. Of course, it’s up to you what you want to order on a date, but here are a few suggestions to keep things clean and simple.
Rice And Pasta Dishes
By all means, do not take that as an invitation to order anything full of garlic or red sauce; we recommend staying as far away from those as you can. The suggestion here is choosing a delicious meal that comes in bite sizes. Rice is manageable, as is bite-size pasta. They will also give you a burst of energy for later if you need it. It also minimizes the risk of any of the food dropping on your outfit. You wouldn’t want to look anyone in the eye with a massive blob of red tomato sauce down your top.
Go For Chicken
Out of all the meats, chicken is your best friend. Fish can be smelly, depending on what you order, and red meats have been known to cause bloating and a little bit of a stink. Chicken is easier on the digestive system and a delicious option in general. It’s in practically everything too, so you still have a massive range of options.
Sharing Tapas Platters
These are a favorite among couples, both seasoned and new. You will be able to take as much as you want at once, they come in manageable portions, and can even make for a more intimate experience – or a more hilarious one. Of course, if you’re the kind of person who hates sharing, you might have to rethink this strategy.
The Mexican Quesadilla
So, your date wants to take you to a Mexican, and you adore a messy fajita or taco… Well, sorry, but you’re going to have to go for the quesadilla option if you want to maintain the air of mystery for a little while longer. The quesadilla is the more elegant option when it comes to Mexican cuisine, and they taste amazing.
Choosing date food can be tough, after all, it’s an opportunity to show off how much of a foodie you are… However, sometimes we just have to keep things low-key.
