1. Pastas : you don't want to be slurping at your food while your date anxiously & secretly wants the date to end
2.Oysters: The oyster plate is probably one of the smallest you can order. Fancy - yes but will it fill you up, probably not.
3. Food's you can't pronounce: ordering something foreign might be a good idea but if you can't pronounce the name of the food - you might as well just trip over your shoelaces & fall on your face - the embarrassment will probably be near the same affect
4. Your date's dish: don't copy what your date is ordering, be an individual order something that you think will be good. If you copy their dish - you'll only look incompetent
5. Corn on the cobb: it might be your favorite & that's awesome - but there's nothing sexy about having wedges of corn stuck in your teeth for the rest of the night.
