Hi-
I'm going on my first date with a new guy and I don't know what to order. I don't know exactly where we are going, but I'm asking not necessarily in regards to calories but more in regards to what I "should eat." Like what looks better- a salad or a burger?
Thanks!

Seriously? Eat what appeals to you.
Though I generally avoid eating spaghetti in public.
I mean really, if a guy is going to judge you for what you choose to eat on a first date, why would you want a second one?0 -
Why not eat for *you* not someone else? Date's are all about getting to know someone, be much easier if you are a true version of yourself perhaps....0

Eat what you want!0

I think you should eat what you're hungry for and fits into your eating plan. If you're making a decision about what to eat because of how it looks to the guy you're with, then you're not with the right person. Be yourself. If you can't do that, you should reconsider whether you're actually ready to date anyone. Being comfortable with yourself and who you are is sexy. Own it.0

This. And I agree, I usually don't chose spaghetti on a first date just because I have not mastered eating it like an adult.0 -
I forgot to add, not trying to be harsh or anything but I'm a steak and beer girl.
I have never had a problem with being judged by men by what I eat, in fact the opposite.
The feedback I get is 'its so easy to be around you' and 'I love that you don't stare at my plate with longing'0 -
You "should" eat whatever YOU want to eat, not what you think will "look" better.
I mean, it's absurd to care about what "looks" better to someone else, but also, different men will have different answers to that - IF they were to actually think about it at all.0 -
Eat what you want.
Pretending to want something else is crazy. You don't want to have to pretend for the entire relationship.
Be you. Find someone who loves you, the real you. Anything else is setting you up for heartache down the road.0 -

you've gotten great advice so far. I say DON'T get just a salad unless you really want one. I think most men would enjoy a woman who orders what she likes and eats whatever it is with manners. If you like pasta, do ziti or rigatoni or something easy to eat. Oh, and maybe stay away from greasy fried chicken...it's hard to eat IMO. Good luck!0

I generally order salad, but I like salad and I don't like hamburgers. Order what you like! A guy that judges isn't worth dating.0

I would order me a steak or a nice chilean sea bass...oh man. I haven't been on a nice date in awhile.0

Oh honey. If he looks at you funny for ordering either, leave. Because that is a sign that he has stupidly high expectations for women that aren't shaped by reality.0 -
Ask the chef for a food challenge.
Smash it.
Then if he dose not call him a *kitten* and walk off
Or just eat what you normally would?

I eat what I want. Take it from an oldster, just be yourself 100% authentic from day one. That way, he gets the real you, and if he does not like you the way you are, you have not wasted any time pretending to be someone you are not.
Order ribs, dig in, slurp, get sauce on your nose, lick the bones. Have fun.0 -

Meh. I can eat and have fun and be myself but still use a napkin.0 -
Is this a serious question0

Wow, the fact that this is a legitimate thing women are made to feel they have to worry about makes me feel very sad

of course you should eat what you want/like. Too many games people play. be real from the start. I like food so it would be great to talk about the food as well as get to know the person through other topics0
