Going on my FIRST date EVER. I am nervous. Tips? Should I pick something small to eat? Or what?

So before winterformal I am going on my first date ever. And I really like the guy I am goignw ith and he likes me. (I have other questions about him). What do I order? I hate eating in front of guys.!!! and I am wearing a saten dress. Should I put a napkin over it? I am really nervous. I am 17 and we will be alone...Going on my FIRST date EVER. I am nervous. Tips? Should I pick something small to eat? Or what?
You dont have to eat small just choose something you really enjoy - men like to see a woman enjoying her food. Dont choose anything difficult to eat like spaghetti and dont choose the most expensive thing on the menu.


If you are concerned about getting your dress messy or if you are eating in a clasy restaurant you should use a napkin.


Men love to see a woman eating sensually so dont gobble up your food greedily, eat slowly and if you have a sweet tooth enjoy savouring your desert.


dont forget to smile, chat during your meal tell him you had a lovely evening at the end of it.


have a great time.Going on my FIRST date EVER. I am nervous. Tips? Should I pick something small to eat? Or what?
Be yourself if you can. I understand this is a big and important event for you, but it is also important to be yourself.


Get something that is medium and doesn't seem too messy or have the possibility of making a mess, like sphegitti and meatballs. Or lasagna or something. Order something like a baked potato and baked chicken IF it's on the menu. Fast food is safe for a sandwich and fries and don't drench with katsup and always stay with what's on the menu and don't order anything special.


Drink ice tea or coffee, or perhaps soda


I hope you have a great time. Just dress nice. Not too much skin.


thanks
BE YOURSELF. That's the best thing. :)


But you want to be polite, so you should probably order something easy to eat, instead of something messy like finger foods. Guys love when girls actually have an appetite and aren't afraid to eat like normal in front of them, so don't feel like you should eat something small just so you don't seem ';fat.'; And I would put the napkin over my lap just in case.





Don't focus so much on the food though, just have fun and make interesting conversation. :)
Okay, DON'T PANIC! I felt the same way on my first date, but it worked out when I kept a cool head.





Order something of medium proportion. And won't get you all gassy or something. It's always cool to be exotic and order something native (as long as you can read the name of the dish)





And don't worry! If he likes you as much as you think he does, then you shouldn't need to prove anything. Be yourself. If he doesn't like you for you, then what can you do? (Old saying)





Just relax. And good luck! =)
Dont be afraid to eat in front of guys I had the exact same problem and I realized everybody eats! I usally go by what the guy gets! It would be the polite thing to put the napkin over your dress but if it keeps sliding you could kinda tuck it under your leg. With getting something to eat it all depends on where you go... I would stay around the same price range as he does if your really nervous dont get ribs or anything to messy!
Relax.. if you make it obvious you are nervous / self concious, it will be evident to him, and make him feel that way, making the whole date terrible! Just make sure to relax and be yourself.


Avoid something too messy to eat, and something too spicy.. it might make your eyes water haha..


Just relax and have fun...then, it will be fun!!
lol,





trust me, all this will not matter someday, it's all a show so just be yourself, is not like you are going to marry him at the date you know, what is it you want him to think you are perfect, well nobody is perfect, if not go and find cinderella and ask her, why do you think the story is over after they marry, it's because they are busy taking care of all the life issues.
Eat something that is easy to eat and wont be messy. No lipstick! That stuff is horrible when it gets on your teeth if you want use lip gloss and bring it with you so you can touch up after wards. Just relax if your date senses that you are tense he will wonder if he is doing something wrong. If you relax he'll relax.
order something that is not messy, and wont make your breath stink.


put a napkin on your lap.


be polite.


who is paying for the meal? if he is dont be too expensive.


be the same person you always are around him.


and most of all remember he is probably just as nervous as you are


have fun and hope it goes great!
1. dont act like youre nervous


2. order something not messy but not too simple like ur trying too hard


3. act according to where ur eating


4. make conversation but not overboard


5. only use a napkin if u r REALLY worried about getting something on ur dress.


6. if he uses a napkin, then maybe u should too =)





hope i helped!
Always put a napkin in your lap. Don't order a salad.. guys like girls who actually order something. Order what you normally would. Don't act too nervous or you might throw him off lol. Just be yourself. If he doesn't like you for you, I wouldn't go out with him again.
Lay off the finger foods unless it is pizza. The napkin goes in your lap. If you are wearing a satin dress, it sounds like he taking you to a nice place. Order what you are in the mood to eat, but I would lay off the garlic or any oily kinds of entree.
be yourself and please don't order somethin small its a proven fact that guys like girls who eat better then those who don't!! i would just put the napkin on you lap. don't be nervous if you really like him everythin will just flow. good luck girl have fun!!
First off, by all means put a napkin over your lap, don't take a chance ruining the evening by ruining your dress.


Secondly and formost... BE YOURSELF!!!! why else would he ask you out? He likes you because of WHO you are, Not WHAT you are.
Dont be nervous everything will be ok yes be polite and talk and have fun everything will work out and order whatever you like but dont let it be too messy... good luck i hope you have fun! order like salad or something..idk but if its really messy put a napkin over it
Just be yourself and dont be like one of those little anorexic girls that orders a little salad and barely eats any of it.





Guys dont like girls so self consious like that. :)
congrats! okay eat whatever your heart desires!!! you'll impress him by not just sticking to salad or a super tiny plate..if i could go back to my first date..i'd relax and instead of thinking i'm going on a date i'd think i'm going to eat with a friend..that way you'll relax and be yourself..
Like everyone says..Be yourself. If this guy really likes you it doesn't matter what you wear or what you eat. Also don't put out, 9 months later you'll regret it
where are you going to eat? if it is a fast food place get something that you know wont be messy like a salad as for the napkin depends where you are...nicer place use one.
Dont drink anything that is fizzy, like soda, it will prob. make you burp. Dont eat anything that is too messy. ex. Ribs. no finger food. yes you should put a napkin over it.
YEs napkin. COpy him.. if he orders something big pick something a lil smalles or if he picks something small then you too. ASk him waht he would recommend....
Eat =] Guys hate it when girls are nervous around them! Eat like you would with your girl friends, guys also hate it when you cover your mouth while eating...trust me I know guys like girls with an appetite, try espin.com
Order something that will not spill on your dress. I wouldn't order salad because the dressing could drip.You should put the napkin in your lap. Have fun and be yourself, you only get one first date!
listen relax, be yourself, otherwise if you try too hard he might get a different impression of you than what you really are, baby girl u r a star.
Don't order just a salad. Get what he is getting. Yes with the napkin. You will look fine stop asking yourself when you look in the mirror.
i agree to be yourself dunt act things while doing it for the first time wont be perfect you will fall in mistakes that wont make you look good


i suggest to focus on you sweet talk more ..........
If he really likes you, anything you'll do will just be natural and beautiful to him. Just be yourself.
Just order whatever you want, guys do not care what a girl eats at all! And make sure you have pantyhose on with sexy shoes. THAT IS THE CLINCHER!!!!!!!!!!!+-
Be yourself! Don't get anything that is really messy when eating.
get something you like and just go with the flow dont act nervous hes prob as nervous as you get comforable!
Let him hit it right away
