What is a good first date food?

I know a lot of people are very confident and can eat messy things in front of someone for the first time... or can in general do normal human things in front of other humans lol

However I am not one of those people lol.

I always think about this-

What’s a good first date food?

Salad is tough because it can be noisy and the lettuce can be huge and you can look like a dinosaur 🦕 eating it (story of my life).

Italian food I’d think would be out because although I LOVE garlic, I wouldn’t want to smell like it for the night? Also pasta can be messy too (maybe I’m a child?).

Burgers or sandwiches wouldn’t work because what if he asks a question when I take a bite??

Lol

Should I just stay away from food until I feel comfortable with a guy??

I’ve never really had a “real” first date. But if I am going to ever be with another man, I don’t want to go to his house/him come to mine for the first night.

(I shouldn’t be thinking of this because I’m married [for now], but it’s something I often wonder about).
