[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spinoff of the "upset my date" thread.  Is it rude, odd, or inappropriate to take restaurant leftovers home with you after an early date?  Say, the first 1-3 dates or so?

I don't think it's wrong, [b]but it definitely sends the message that the date is over and you aren't going to ask or be up for an after-dinner walk by the water, drinks, etc. [/b]

Do you think people who leave their leftovers behind are wasteful or that people who pack up their leftovers are overly focused on the food rather than the date as a whole?

Not asking about what you do with your spouse, partner, or family - specifically asking in the context of early stages of dating.[/quote]

This is a good point. On my first date with my now DH (after meeting at a bar) I was so nervous/excited I could only order a salad. Afterward we decided to walk to a nearby restaurant for another round of drinks (for which I paid since he got dinner/our first drinks). After that we ended up walking around and talking until almost 2 am (we also both ran into friends while out and socialized in a group too). This was back in our 20s when the whole night was just waiting to unfold.

If you really have butterflies about someone and are excited to spend time with them, I just can’t imagine ordering a big meal and then packing it to go. Unless maybe it’s a weeknight blind date and you know you have to head straight home/the chemistry was slow to build.  [/quote]
