20 Foods To Avoid On A Date

this was a beautifully written article. very thought provoking. and SO FUNNY TOO!

Oh so that’s why we never went out on a second date…

You forgot mangoes :)

oh my god i think about this sort of thing all the time. every time i’m at a restaurant eating something messy or awkward or just unusual i always bring this up. thanks for compiling a list.
spaghetti is the worst. also anything with little chopped up bits of herbs or poppy seeds. TEETH.

thanks for the advice and well written article?

lol

Are you crazy? I’d rather eat most of these things than go on a date, anyway, Even the boiled spinach is marginally more interesting than “how many ways I can tell this girl I once spent a semester in Berlin and know at least 14 words of German.” 

 You writers here at Thought Catalog are always concerned with love and the feelings that love bring us- sweet yet bitter, bitter yet worth writing at least four long-form pieces in third person. Poignant, honest, and referencing ribcages and seasonally appropriate nostalgia.

Sometimes, I’d just rather fucking have the cheese sauce.

“Chili-cheese dogs via gas station”

You should probably not buy food from a gas station on a date, period. haha

DO NOT FORGET BROCCOLI

wtf man

y u mad tho?

I’m not mad I’m just hungry.  For egg drop soup and the stirring yet simple meal that is love.

PIZZA DATE

Spaghetti is my CARDINAL no-go date dish! I just can’t gracefully eat long pasta.

***hot wings. 

Hey, you have to realize that the person who keeps accepting your dates will eventually see you in your true form.  You might as well weed out the bad ones right away!

Almost three years ago, I took the girl who will be my wife in 17 days to a karaoke bar for dinner and a serenade of cheesy love songs (on our second date)…she loved it, and I knew right then that she was a keeper.

Why you gotta hate on egg drop soup?

Fun fact: I once went on a date that consisted of gas station hot dogs and large Slurpees. Best date ever. Granted, I was 12. But still.

SALAD IS SO HARD TO EAT PROPERLY

would prefer the positive spin of ’20 foods to seek out in particular on a date’

Any kind of sandwich that has to be held together with toothpicks.  It is impossible to look sexy when you’re dropping lettuce and tomatoes everywhere.

#13 And now I’m craving The Counter…

Shredded lettuce- so much easier.

 Or you can pretend until the relationship inevitably ends.

Did you seriously get paid to write this?  I’m not hating, I just want your job!

It’s frequently a date for 1 with me, so I will be enjoying all of the above.  I could really go for some crab.

Hey, play nice! (Because you sound oddly bitter. Are you getting divorced?)

Have to say I lol’ed at the mental image of someone eating a large peach. So unsettling haha.

OK.  I find this a bit silly.  I met my guy  in high school Where I stuffed a burrito in my face every day at lunch… and we are still together after almost 10 years. If you cant be yourself on a first date then it probably wont work out. Also, If your main concern on a date is being sexy, I think you may not have your priorities straight.

everything bagel

This shit got published?

list catalog

http://www.lovetoshopping.org

Fallafles should be on this list. terrible oversight.

i want to write for thought catalog now

You forgot the #1 of all time – squid ink pasta! 

Bog-standard list but worth it when I read ‘large peaches’, which is somehow genius in its abstract and sexual suggestivity.

Why?

what a cool story

Gyros! Heavy on the tzatziki, like I like ‘em.
Garlic breath for days.

SUBWAYYYYY.

What’s wrong with large peaches, or even fruits in general? Deelish mmmm

You forgot ‘anything that’s stick shaped or comes on a stick’ ;)

what the fuck are u supposed to eat on a date?
