10 foods you don’t want to eat on your first date

You’ve heard of the top ten things to avoid wearing during your first date? Well here’s the top ten foods to avoid nomming on that oh-so-special day:

1. Spice Does Not Equal Nice

Peppers tend to make you sweat. If you’re already sweat prone, then eating spicy things isn’t going to help you at all. Let’s not add more fire to the heat of your nervousness, yeah?

2. BBQ Ribs = No

You want to know the average number of napkins people use up when they gobble up BBQ ribs? 7. You might want to rethink ordering ribs because your date’s probably not going to find you attractive surrounded by that mountain of used, balled-up napkins.

3. Sloppy Joes = Bigger No

Honestly, is this too hard to think of? Sloppy Joes aren’t exactly appealing to look at, nor is whoever’s looking at them. They’re called Sloppy, not Sexy, so step away from that gassy mess.

4. Let Go Of Your Ramen

You might argue that spaghetti should be the main problem-causer, but that’s not the case. You can eat spaghetti gracefully provided you’re extra careful and somber. Ramen? Better scrap that idea because your date will probably not appreciate the amount of soup-slurping and noodle-flying.

5. Avoid Sushi

It’s small, you exclaim. Bite-size, even. True, but eating sushi requires you shoving a piece of raw fish (I’m talking about real sushi, not those little round things you call rolls) into your mouth using a dainty pair of chopsticks. Another problem that arises from eating sushi in one gulp is chewing; it’s going to take you about 20 seconds to get through that thing, so what’s your date going to do during that awkward silence?

6. Avoid Asparagus Too

Asparagus has a bad reputation for many things, and one is that it has a sulphurous compound called mercaptan. Guess what else has that? Onion, garlic, and especially rotten eggs. Yum.

7. Beans… Just Don’t

If Sloppy Joes weren’t obvious enough, then beans should be extremely clear for you. Gas and first dates don’t mix very well.

8. Don’t Do Fast Food

Unless you guys need a quick meal in order to do something awesome like go-kart racing or paintballing, picking a fast food place for a first date will not give you a good impression.

9. No Buffet Food, Please

Hey, if you don’t want to talk to your date, then go all out with buffet food. Chances are that they’ll be grabbing their fourth plate of turkey while you’re nibbling on fried rice, waiting for the great conversation that will never come.

10. TV Dinners…

No. Don’t even go there. If your date’s making you guys eat frozen meals at their house, you’ll have a better chance going with the bean eating person instead.
