Eat these foods and your first date will likely be your last.

We’re all told to “be yourself” on a first date, but when it comes to the foods you order, being yourself isn’t always the best option. Here's a list of some of the worst, smelly, embarrassingly awkward foods you could order on a first date.
Beans
Fueling up on beans for a night out? Sounds like a revolutionary idea. They don’t smell good going in, and they’re not going to smell good coming out. Even if they don’t make you fart, they will make your date think of you farting, and there's no better way to ward off romance than that.
French Onion Soup
Don't be flattered; your date's not looking down your shirt, he's staring at the string of gruyere cheese that's hanging from your chin. We'll get to the onions later.
Jäger Bombs, Sake Bombs, or any other kind of bombs
While some men may (bizarrely) like a woman who can keep up with their drinking antics at the dinner table, we can't seem to find anything that involves the act of "bombing" sexy. And because alcohol is already known to cause superfluous stomach movements, watch out: your Jäger bombs may lead to other unwanted bombs at the dinner table.
Garlic Bread
If your date orders garlic bread, it's a tell-tale sign he's not into you. If you both order garlic bread, well, “What’s yours is mine honey!”
Onion Rings
Have you ever successfully taken a clean bite of an onion ring without the whole onion falling out? Not a mental image you want sticking in your date's head. Come to think of it, why are you eating any sort of onions on a date?
House Special Sushi Roll
News flash: using foreign utensils to shove gigantic portions of raw fish into your mouth can, and likely will, cause a series of silent, very awkward first date moments.
Spicy Chicken Curry
Let's save the spice and sweat for the bedroom, shall we? Chicken curry does not work in anyone's favor on a date; think Ben Stiller in "Along Came Polly" and you'll understand why.
Buffalo Wings
Any type of food that is served with wet naps and requires you to lick your fingers is not sexy, and neither is buffalo-orange lip gloss.
Fish Sticks
First off, who orders fish sticks on a first date? And secondly, if you’re at an establishment that offers fish sticks on the menu, your date probably isn’t worth impressing.
Spinach
Your date probably thought you were cute before you got that hunk of spinach stuck in your front tooth...
Spaghetti
Don’t be fooled, ordering spaghetti on a date will lessen your chances of any “Lady and the Tramp” moments.
Any situation that involves the phrase "All you can"
This date is likely to end in one of two ways: your going home alone because you don’t want to be touched, or your date going home alone because he doesn't want to touch you.
Pitted Olives
Maybe supermodels can make spitting pits from their mouths sexy, but for the rest of us human folks, let's avoid expunging food from our mouths on a date.
Burritos and Tacos
Your date doesn't want to see a Mexican mess oozing out of your mouth and onto your fingers, so avoid the trip to Acapulco and opt for something more traditional.
Meatloaf
“Can I please have the meatloaf?” “That meatloaf looks really good.” “Mmm meatloaf.” There's just no way to make ordering meatloaf sound sexy (try it, we dare you).
