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.

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?  

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.

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.

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?  

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.  

Is to consider what I might have next time.  That said- I think  the appetizer gambit is a good compromise.

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.

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.  

And it's only a little, wafer-thin mint.

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.  

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.  

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.

The head cheese or the stinky smegma ?
