Ahead of time, try to find out what type of food your partner likes if you don't already know. Do not assume he or she will have the same taste as you. Ask if he or she has any allergies or there are any foods to avoid.
Avoid foods that are difficult to eat in front of someone that you don't know so well, such as lobster or fish with meat with a lot of bones. Make it easy so that you and your partner can concentrate on what is really important: getting to know each other and having a good time.

Although you do not need to spend time or money on sophisticated decorations, use what you have to create a special ambiance and please do not have dinner with the TV on. If you are inviting a date to watch a DVD together, turn on the TV only when it is time to watch it. In the meantime, it is much better to have some soft music in the background. Fresh flowers always make a splash
and turn on some
artistically designed lamps. Use your creativity and make some memorable decorations without going crazy.
If you are trying new recipes, make sure the day before that you have all the ingredients and read well the recipe to make sure you understand it. Sometimes, you might need to do some preparations the night before, for example, marinating the chicken or soaking the beans.
If you want to spend a lot of time together after dinner, avoid heavy foods. These foods make you sleepy and tired. And if you plan to have a very
romantic evening, avoid dishes with a lot of garlic, although garlic is also an
aphrodisiac. Garlic's smell is not the most desirable when you are
intimate with your partner. The same applies to drinking alcohol. Stick to wine rather than beer. Try to chew cardamoms or after dinner mints to clean the breath.
The don't
Do not go crazy trying to impress. Very seldom people select partners based on their cooking abilities. Concentrate instead on having a good time by making the guest feel welcomed, entertained, and pampered.
As I said before, avoid serving canned, ready-to-eat, processed foods directly from the shelves. Make it special or at least make it look special. This does not apply to ice cream.
Avoid aromatic candles on the table. You may use regular unscented candles. The aromas of the food and the candle can cause a headache to some people. You may use
aromatic candles after dinner while having coffee, tea or a dessert wine.
An easy and impressive dessert to serve is fresh fruit with cheese.
