I've always wondered this, and wonder if other girls are the same way:

That I eat like a bird. I eat many little half meals all day long.
So when they ask what I like to eat, I usually say.. Oh, please pick what you like to eat. I can find happiness in any menu.

It is best to do private time first and dinner later. You both work up a bit of an appetite, and if there is a return to the room later, it can just be cuddling and talking if either or both of you feels too full for more athletic togetherness.

I guess the lemons can be considered a meal, right?

When I take a lady out whom I really don't know very well as a person and she orders like that, I take that as a sign of disinterest.  Especially if she knows its a really nice place and its pre-planned

Even as a kid, the song “Old McDonald had a Farm” always made me hungry.

Funny you say that..

If I have a few drinks before dinner, I WILL eat well in a restaurant.  But then I'm tipsy.  Go figure.  Ok, I'll just tell him... Ahead of time..

If the dinner was the start of a, hopefully, eventful evening then I wouldn't think anything of it if my date were a very light eater/picker. In fact, I'd eat in a similar way as well. If, however, it were a conclusion to the night, or perhaps the main event (like if I had picked an exclusive restaurant for the purpose of making an impression) then I'd want my date to enjoy her meal. She wouldn't have to order a steak, per se, but I'd be hoping she would at least seem to enjoy her meal, whatever it was.

There are so many great steak houses in NY and I've eaten at all of them.  I don't think you can pick "the best."  Though there are probably many lists with different #1s.  But I can't pick the best.

The last thing I'm thinking is that she needs to eat more because I happen to like my women slim or skinny but still healthy looking.  

Disinterested means she's neutral and has no opinion.

I'll send you an invoice along with my pay pal information. lol

And ive heard you have a similar problem!  (Bird eater)

If she orders a big meal and doesn't eat it, she could at least take a doggie bag.  It's probably more rude to waste food than to not order much in the first place.

...they want. I only ask whatever they order they eat. I don't mind paying for an expensive meal. I do mind it going to waste.

great response douchebag..

I don't think about it on that kind of date. It is to easy to over think stuff in this world. I try not to overthink actions. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

Took a fine lady to a very exclusive restaurant on our first (and last) date. She looked at the prices and shot me a questioning look.

Quality Meats

I am so honored, ROF

From your title, I thought you were talking about carpet munching.

Order what you want. No matter to me. You can even try mine.  I don't mind.  
If you order a steak because you think you should and don't finish it, I'll take it home. But if you really don't want it, don't order it.

So you're a bird eater too eh?

...the most expensive items on the menu and doesn't touch them.  I have enough of that crap with civvies.

I eat.It does not matter if I am just meeting someone new for the first time.I am a foodie thank god for the high metabolism since I do tend to slack sometimes on the gym.lol
I will order a steak if I am at a steak restaurant and a salad.Usually the gent has ordered appetizers/drinks as well.

Generally, those type of thinking leads nowhere. Besides, don't have time to think about others eating problems.

But there's an art to ordering food. Unfortunately, my stomach has never even fit a 6 oz filet. Not sure why as I don't look like I can't eat a nice steak lol!

8o)

Seriously, u should tell your NYC date what you shared here so he's not upset or at least order a steak and doggy bag it -just don't reheat it in the microwave because it will turn into rubber.

I could go on, but..........

That said, I have learned to change my eating habits a lot over the past year and that includes scooby snacking vs. eating large meals. I might eat a few bites six times a day, but I do drink like a fish.  

.....guys often say "thank god you're not one of those girls who is scared to eat like a "normal" person in public".  
My response has been to laugh (out loud) but I'd often bring up my mom and grandmother don't like eating a lot around people they don't know and maybe it's the same for a lot of ladies you've been out with. I'm a bigger girl so i'm sure they'd probably think I didn't get so deliciously fluffy on just salad and bread so they'd maybe think she's trying to not look like such a fat ass in front of me. Generally in public dates i'll order what I want but I know what affects my body in certain ways so if I'm planning to have sexy time after the meal I probably will avoid things that make me gassy.  

but I guess I am feeling a bit magnanimous this morning, as I won't even go there this morning. lol

There are some jokes that are funny to tell over and over again, then others that are just so dumb and worthless after the first time it's just - tired. LOL.

Which is why I didn't do it, but I will disagree that is was only good enough to tell once. It was worth retelling several times, but it's not going to ever be a classic like "got rope" which still seems to get laughs several years later.

didn't get this booty, from not eating... haha. But this is literally not an issue for me, ever.  

...because I'm afraid they will be alarmed at how much food can fit into such a small person (comfortably), and I also eat pretty slowly. I tend to eat relatively light on dates, for reasons similar to those you've mentioned, and because normally we are too busy talking to finish a 3 course meal within an hour.  

Typically, I am completely unabashed about eating. However, sometimes if I don't know the gentleman well (it is our first date) and he chooses some restaurant where food is potentially messy, I may just order a salad. I also really don't eat any carbs outside of fruits and vegetables so if it's Italian, then I'll eat lightly unless they have some non pasta dishes available.

I think a great meal takes at least two bottles of wine to finish, I am hardly in a hurry to get through dinner in an hour. Talking, drinking wine, and munching on some good eats can take hours and hours in the right company.
