For the gentleman: The dinner date does not begin when you arrive at the restaurant. It began when you invited her out. And you should try to make the date at least 3-5 days in advance.
If you ask her what she likes, she will politely say, “Anything is fine.” Instead, ask if she has any food allergies or preferences and make your restaurant selection based on that. Read some restaurant reviews. If the place is nice, and it should be nice for a first or second date, MAKE A RESERVATION. It shows that you respect the occasion and consider it important enough to ensure that it goes well.
For the ladies: Unfortunately, not every guy will understand the importance of good preparedness. If the guy is busy, or is nervous about choosing the wrong restaurant, you can take a positive step by offering to make the reservation. Pick a restaurant that you have been wanting to try with someone. It doesn’t necessarily mean they’re not sincere if they don’t make a reservation; it could just be that they’ve been single for a long time, and are not confident enough to make such decisions yet.
