There are a few rules and tips you will want to follow to help you succeed. First, regardless of what her favorite foods are, try to include an Italian side dish. Italian food is known to be extremely popular on first dates, but, whatever you do, avoid pasta. You do not want her to feel bloated right off the bat; you’ll have to get a few more dates in for that. Next, watch the garnishes. As fun as it can be to decorate a plate for your date, you do not want green leaves or the skins of beans caught in between your teeth and neither does she.

Along the same lines, when cooking with anything that has seeds, make sure to be careful there are no leftover seeds in the final dish. Also, be wary of foods that may give you both unattractive, smelly breath or even worse make you gaseous. Next, even if she likes spicy food, try to avoid it.

Most people have a threshold with how much spicy they can take, and if you cross that threshold, it could be very uncomfortable for both of you. You want an impressed, well-fed woman who thinks her thoughtful date paid attention to her interests and just did an excellent job of taking care of her, not a woman regretting every bite she takes, but playing it cool for your sake.

This being said, have a great first date!
