one of the great joys of life is being able to seduce a beautiful woman into your bed over a good meal and a glass (or in GaG's case, a couple of bottles - lol) of fine wine. Its a right of passage into manhood for much of my, and older, generations. Not surprised its becoming extinct in a younger generation where you can't always tell who the girls are, and vice-versa.
Ladies, how would you feel if you did a dinner date with a guy who decided to try something different and proceeded to order several entrees? I am not going to eat it all but I wanted to try several things while I was there. She can eat some of it too if she cares to.
Guys, have you ever done this before? What did you dinner friend or provider think?
To me, it is a great opportunity to see what I like and if some doesn't taste good, I should be able to find one of those dishes tasty!
I don't want to look like a pig. I think it is best to let her know what I am doing so i don't get funny looks lol.
There are to go containers, for her or I.
I've never done what you describe, but what's your goal? To try a lot of new dishes? (With pleasant company to share with.) Is there a particular place or cuisine you have in mind?
I assume that you are not talking about at McD's, Olive Garden, or the local Chinese or TexMex takeout joint.
At a fancy tapas restaurant, you're sampling small portions of as many things as you want.
At a fancy sushi bar, you order lots of different hot and cold dishes.
Some fine restaurants sometimes offer a seating where you can get a wide range of foods that display the chef's talents.
If you are known at the restaurant you want to visit, you might be able to pre-arrange such a tasting even if it's not something they usually do.

many restaurants will prepare an appetizer sized portion of what you'd like to try. It's ok to ask. I'm not judging since it's your some... but I rarely go out to eat with the intention of getting a doggie bag. Especially fine dining.
I'm guessing you're not trying to impress the lady. Trust me, you're not ...
an insecure boy trying to impress a girl that you think is out of your league. If you're over 30, why don't you already know what you like to eat? Have you ever fucked a girl that you weren't paying? Just curious.
Making a spectacle of yourself just makes it look like you've not only never been to a nice restaurant before, but that you fear you never will again.
Someone needs to quit "trying so hard" it just makes him look like an "insecure boy" as you just said.
Honestly, some johns ask the dumbest questions about how to act during a date, it really does beg the question "have they ever been on a real date before?"
To be fair, I never went on a "real date" for most of my life, because kids don't really do dates anymore. At least not where I'm from.
But I have been to restaurants before, and I know how not to come off like the Thin Mint guy from Monty Python's Meaning of Life.
And it's only a little, wafer-thin mint.

or expect some weird looks. I am a foodie,so personally I would love this but some girls maybe weirded out by it. Lol I say be yourself and do what you want lol.
I mean, hey, you're paying.. go all out lol. If a girl is judging you that hard over something that trivial then something is wrong with her...
As you can see, it did not work out so well.
The head cheese or the stinky smegma ?
Also
I invited you to lunch (and offered to pay) this afternoon and I know you know the place I'm talking about. You, the tough guy, (well in your mind you are) were afraid to show up so next time you dare someone check to see if you have any balls yourself, cause this afternoon you did not. I suppose in your case the only way you would have any balls is if you borrowed a pair.
You proved again you have no balls by pulling your posts, you are scared, very scared.
You can run but you cannot hide……..run jake run.
If your goal is a variety of dishes, why not find a restaurant with a large appetizer list and order five or six appetizers instead of a meal?
NO, I have never done anything a dumb as what your propose before, but there used to be this restaurant in Atlanta that specialized in wild game dishes, everything from Kangaroo to rattlesnake, who made the best appetizers, my GF and I would often order several appetizers instead of entrees when dining there.
Have you ever been to a nice restaurant before? I am sure this is a question that will be running through your dates mind, even if she doesn't ask you out loud. I can't wait to read the post from some provider in a week or two laughing about the dumb ass trick she went out with who ordered everything on the menu.
Is to consider what I might have next time. That said- I think the appetizer gambit is a good compromise.
As a gentleman, I assume that while the dining should be first rate - it is the company that makes the evening. An undue focus on the food is a mistake. Ordering a bunch of entrees is focusing on the food and, honestly, it makes a spectacle of yourself.
I think this is great. You might actually call ahead and see if they will put together a sampler.
Just because people don't typically do something doesn't mean it's not a good idea.
They may offer a 'flight' of their best dishes. You could call ahead and ask if the chef would do a sampler of their favorite dishes.
My ideal is to get a few plates and share both so we can try as many different things as we can together.
Let's do it!

I don't want to appear to be piling on, like other responses have. I assume you are asking, what is for you, a legitimate question. I presume you either lack experience ordering at a fine dining restaurant, or you lack experience being in a social setting with a provider. Both are plausible, and neither make you a freak, loser, or whatever pejorative term others have used.
My advice:
If it's lack of experience with fine dining, then call the restaurant and ask if they have or could create a "tasting" menu. Or approach this as the 1st of multiple visits to the place. This time you try the steak, next time try the fish, and the next the chicken or pasta...
If it's lack of social experience with a provider, then just remove the term "provider" from your expectations. Providers are people. They have feelings, family, flaws and strengths, hopes and aspirations, a sense of humor and an opinion about many things like politics, music, movies and health. They just happen to escort for a living, just like a plumber or doctor just happen to have those jobs. If you would not do something when you have a dinner date with an accountant, gardener, bank teller, or mail carrier, then don't do it when you are on a dinner date with a provider.
Just because you are paying for her time doesn't mean you can be rude, demeaning, or obnoxious without consequences - unless that's what gets you off and you specifically negotiated that with her when booking the date, of course.
Bon appetite!
