Being with a beautiful woman on a dinner date can be a deeply romantic occasion. As your love blossoms, you will remember these occasions with pleasure, just like her. You should enjoy it as much as you can and be yourself. However, if you want the evening to go more smoothly, take note of these simple but effective tips. It doesn’t matter if the only food you have is a burger and fries, follow these five dating tips and you’ll look like an expert.
1) Guide her to the table
Take your time entering the restaurant and allow the servers to do their job. However, when you are led to the table, let her partner step forward and touch her open palm to the small of her back, gently guiding her toward the table. It’s a small token of affection that shows you’re in control of her, but you’re not in control of her, you feel protective of her, but you’re not too pushy.
2) Smell the wine, don’t drink it
Ordering wine worries some people, so here’s the most reassuring dinner date tip you can have: the restaurant’s house wine (usually the cheapest) should be perfectly fine! No decent restaurant will have a bad house wine if it wants to stay in business. When the waiter brings the bottle, ask him to taste it, shake it in the glass and give it a smell. This is what the real connoisseurs do and should be enough to find out if it’s a decent wine, so don’t bother trying it.
3) Eat like a man
You don’t have to order bloody steak, but it won’t hurt, unless you’re dating a vegetarian. Order big, order a lot and eat a lot. There is nothing more unpleasant for a woman when she is dating than a block that eats less than she does. She’ll have more fun if she can relax and see you happily tucked up, so she get that T-Bone and make it extra weird!
4) Let him have some of your food
Many women hate appearing gluttonous and don’t want to order food, which makes them appear greedy when dating a man. However, just because she ordered a salad doesn’t mean she doesn’t fancy some steak. Some guys hate it when others take something from their plate. Get over! For many women, sharing is caring. If he is not allowed to share your food, then don’t expect him to share anything else with you. The best advice is to offer him a bite after he has taken a single bite.
5) Be a gentleman and pay
We’re so confused in the 21st century about how to settle the bill when we date, but who’s complaining about getting a free meal? He takes the bill directly from the waiter and takes out the credit card. Show that you are generous, a good potential supplier and that you earn your own money. What’s so unattractive about that? Of course, if she insists, this should not be a matter of discussion. Perhaps suggest that he buy the after-meal drinks as a compromise. If she wants the date to continue after dinner, chances are she had a good time.
