SIX BAD FOODS NOT TO EAT ON A DATE

Dating is such a fickle affair. Early on, the most inconspicuous details can turn someone off just like that. If you find yourself wondering why you never heard back, one funny yet possible thought is — maybe it was something you ate. So, don’t make your next date a dine-n-dash by eating one of these…

Smells-bad

  • 1. Raw Onions Their potent aroma permeates the room every time you exhale. Raw onions are in many salads (sometimes they’re chopped up so fine you don’t even notice them), and often they’re an ingredient not even mentioned on the menu.

  • 6. Heavy Garlic This one’s obvious, but you don’t always think about where it could be hiding on the menu. A lot of pasta sauces, like pesto, use tons of garlic. Many meat dishes, too. You don’t want to blast your date with hard-core garlic-ridden dragon breath, so ask about heavy garlic content when you’re ordering. As tasty as it is, garlic quickly becomes Eau de Garlic all over your body as it seeps into your breath and your entire body.
