im going to be going on ma first real romantic date with my boyfriend. What kind of things should i order. i dont wana b to greedy but i dont wana b 2 expensive. I need some pointers. also whats somthing good to wear for a dinner and movie??

Answer 1

It all depends on where you are going to eat and what you like. Maybe you're boyfriend will tell you to order whatever you want and that price doesn't matter. If that's not the case, pick something mid priced or take a cue from what he is ordering. What to wear--depends upon how fancy a restaurant you're going to. If it's casual, how about a comfortable knee length skirt, fitted t shirt and bring along a little sweater or shrug to wear in the theatre in case it's cold.

Answer 2

As far as what to wear, make sure it is something you feel comfortable in, for example, if you don't normally wear short skirts, now is not the time to audition one. You'd end up fiddling with your clothes all night and be distracted. I would go with a nice top and probably pants, skirts get too cold at the movies. At dinner, order something that you are familiar with, don't order a dish you aren't sure you'll like. Don't be silly and pick at a little salad or eat a few tiny bites of your dinner, he won't think your a pig just because you actually eat. If you are worried about over extending his budget, casually ask him what he's getting, and you'll have an idea. Most importantly, just relax, have a good time and be yourself. Good luck.

Answer 3

I think you should order what sounds good to you. If he can't afford the place he probably wouldn't have taken you there, especially for a first date. I wouldn't go over the top and order the most expensive thing on the menu, but I think he expects you to order something you'll actually enjoy & want.

As far as what to wear you could wear a summer dress, or something that is casual but seems very feminine and classy. You might want to make sure you're wearing shoes that don't hurt your feet, you don't want to make him feel like he needs to end the date early because you're uncomfortable, especially if neither of you are actually ready to end it.

Answer 4

Wear something that you like and that looks a bit special. You can wear some nice jewellery, but you don't want to overdo it. He'll love it if he can be proud to be seen with you.

I agree that you should choose something mid priced from the menu. Show that you value yourself by ordering something you'll enjoy, but also show your thoughtfulness and restraint by ordering something affordable. He'll appreciate it.

If he doesn't suggest a first course, go straight to the mains. If he does suggest a first course, you can find out his tastes and budget by suggesting you order one or two to share, and then paying attention to the decision making. (That's if sharing first courses is acceptable where you live.)

If you want to be very old fashioned, tell your boyfriend what you'd like and let him do the ordering. Always be polite with waiters - not too friendly, but it shows you have good manners.

The best impression you can make is to be relaxed and enjoy the evening.

Answer 5

While you're waiting to order, ask your bf what he's having. That should give you an idea of what his price range is. If he tells you to go all out, go ahead. But keep in mind that the seasonal things (like lobster, abalone) will be outrageously expensive. Don't order just a salad. Men like a girl who eats.

Wear something comfortable. You'll be eating and sitting for a long time.

Have fun!!

Answer 6

dinner and a movie wear some nice, but comfy pants, even jeans if they arent ripped, but iron them and a nice top..bring a sweater w/ you in case the theater gets cold. while you are looking at the movie, give a few minutes and then ask what he is getting. order something thats the same price or less.

Answer 7

First get you drink then get a small salad but if you are sharing, order a bowl of spaghetti.
