Imagine you are on a first date with, what you right away feel, a wonderful person? Imagined? ok...so imagine further that during the dinner he/she, without asking you beforehand, forks in your plate for some of your food? Would you feel angry? surprised? violated? humiliated? or would you feel that what that person has done unquenchably romantic and cute? :party20:

I would be surprised and no it's not romantic. On the first date they are still strangers and who knows how healthy he is. I would not want his dirty fork in my plate. I guess in a way it is kind of a violation of my private space. :fight58:

I would say that such "daredevil" actions should be reserved for future dates.

Wait for her to offer - and better yet- be charming: offer her to try some of yours. No matter what her answer to your offer is, she will probably tell you to take some off her plate - and then you can stick all you want. ;)

If the guy does try to be charming and offers you to try some of his food, but you dont really like what he ordered, what would do? :happy03:

Hhhmmm....I'd probably think he's a nahal to do such a thing on the first date. I think a couple should feel comfortable with each other to do this without asking or offering to each other what's in their plates. It would be more appropriate if the guy asked or offered his own order for her to try first. However, I think that the same action on future dates is a symbol of comfort with one another...but only when both parties are comfortable with it.

I would say no thank you.. And i have done so before. But then they start acting like parents and grand parents trying to force me to eat their food.

such behavior is not appropriate even between the family members. Everyone has their own plate, and if you want something from my plate then ask, do not touch it without my permission.

I did say only if both parties are comfortable with it. I'm not sure I want to feel formality with my boyfriend/fiance/husband to that extent. I want him to be my best friend at all times and I think that this behavior is acceptable between close friends.

A plain "no thank you" can usually do the trick.

I think that to do that is a little premature on the first date. If i am hungry I'd tell her to look at her own plate and not pick at my plate. If I'm stuffed, better she get the food than the garbage.

Why through your food in to garbage. Be more economical and take it home. And if she also leaves some food because she is stuffed take her food home also. Because you dont want to waste HER money. She paid for the food did not she?

Warning: You may not get a second date with her. So do this only when a girl is really ugly.

ts ts ts that's not nice, you should not treat a person bad just because you do not find him/her attractive. Remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, it is subjective. Someone might mistreat you just becasue they might not think that you are attractive.

Yep. That is true. Beauty is in the eyes of the beer holder. I need more beer. :tongue21:

It also depends on how they dived into your plate....was it just to taste....maybe they did it to be funny...If it was the first date, I dont think that would be very pleasant...or such a good impression for that matter
