It's always best to go with what you know a person likes.  Also giving the person a good memory is good.  So dinner at a fav spot or checking out a restaurant with her favorite type of food would be good.

k, I'm a chic, so listen up ... no bad-breath causing foods, onion, garlic, sausage, that sort of thing, and nothing too salty. You'll both have dry mouth shortly after eating and won't be in the mood for smooching ;)\n\nA nice, simple but interesting salad would do fine. Try having a sort of "buffet" where she can make her own. Impress her with some designer salad dressings (that you can buy at any supermarket, just look on the top shelf). Boiled shrimp would be nice as a topper, or even some oysters, yum. Cheeses, fresh mushrooms, cucumbers, bacon, and so on. Just make it fun ... and for dessert ... \n\nGet a bunch of strawberries ... or splurge and do the blueberry, raspberry, strawberry thing, even throw in some mangoes and kiwis ... top that with a little vanilla sauce a.k.a. vanilla cook-and-serve jello pudding. Keep it warm on the stove or in a fondue pot until you're ready to use it.  A little dollop of whip cream would look awesome too.  You could even melt a little chocolate too, in case that's her thing. And you know how good chocolate makes you feel ...\n\nA nice bottle of wine, or her favorite drink. Don't forget the glass of ice water too. Freeze a raspberry in the ice cubes and you'll get laid for sure :) (just a little tip there) ... \n\nMake her feel at home, don't have too many lights on ... girls are a little self-conscious when we eat even if we don't admit it ... and play some good dinner music. Al Greene, Luther Vandross, whatever you like, just don't have it so loud that you can't talk. \n\nI guess it's not so much about the food, but the way you present the whole package that counts! Good luck.\n\nps, absolutely NO spaghetti !!! yikes !!! dragon breath for days!

You should never be uncomfortable with the person you are dating.  I think you know the answer to this...Dating is supposed to be fun and relaxing.

Be kind and thoughtful, as for where to go that's easy go out for dinner or lunch for a walk after this way you will have time to get to talk and get to know each other better and then you can find out what the two of you have in common so you can plan the next date based on this!

No need to rush into things , perhaps you could just have a quiet dinner together with candles and soft music but with both of you naked. If you can finish dinner without jumping each others bones , I"d call off the idea.

I have had some of the most catastrophic dinner dates ever. But I know how be so funny that I get myself out of trouble.\nSo, remember, the next time you fire a carrot from your soup our of your left nostril like it's a torpedo, it's funnier than disgusting if you make it funny and don't allow it to be disgusting.

i have a long distance boyfriend. and when i plan on going to see him. i plan on cooking for him. something like a 5 course meal, then just sitting at home and just spending some quality time together. rent some movies or something and just stay in each others arms for as long as possible. the night will just get  better from there

if its a first date, dinner is first, then another activity (i.e. movies, bowling, or even just hanging out)  OH!!! as a plus, if you take a girl bowling, even if you're somewhat good, be sure to let her win.  Witnessed a guy slaughter a girl one time at the alley, and she was pissed off.

Lead him on a scavenger hunt with clues. Make sure it lead to places that have a significant meaning (ie. like where you met, went on first date, fav places) and have it end at your place where you are cooking him his favorite dinner. That is always a romantic idea. Especially if you are not a wizard on the computer.

Well, dinner before proposing is a very good idea.\nAs for how to ask, be direct, say to her "If you're free next Friday, I'd like to have dinner with you at Such-and-such place." Unless you've left out some important detail, she is not going to be angry about being asked out for dinner, if she says "no" accept it gracefully and just say "Maybe some other time" Her response to that will tell you if she's interested or not.\n My only other advice is, if she accepts your invitation, don't go to an italian restaurant...you'll be nervous enough without high risk foods like pasta and marinara sauce.

my idea, well, movie and lunch or dinner. and you get to talk a lot and know a lot of stuff about your date.

unexpectedly. i mean girls always like surprises. proposals that come out of the blue are the best proposals i think. if you are going to use the tried and tested, planned dinner date with matching scenery and stuff then she might have hinted on it. no use to sigh for that one.

The basic approach sounds fine but it might be less threatening if you soften it a little. Instead of:\n\n"if you are free at 5 on tuesday, and like chinese food, i'm buying you dinner."\n\nTry:\n\n"if you are free at 5 on tuesday, and like chinese food, i would like to buy you dinner."\n\nSubtle difference, but much more neutral.

Plan a romantic dinner for just you and your partner or go out on a picnic. Nothing says how much you miss her like preparing a homemade meal just for her. At least shell know how hard you worked in making the dinner.

Yes, you unwittingly broke a rule.  You just shouldn't comment on your date's choice, except to say, "that sounds delicious" or "great choice."  Your comment could be misconstrued as a criticism of her eating/health habits.  It's like saying, "I would eat that, but fried food is bad/fattening/disgusting and grilled food is far superior."  Thus, it's a little rejection of your date.

"Hey, wanna go out sometime? Dinner or something?"
