5. Have bad table manners. This is basic stuff that should be true whenever you go out to eat. But of course, it’s highlighted even more on a date. Cover your mouth when you yawn. Don’t chew gum. And, please, whatever you do, don’t talk with food in your mouth. It’s beyond gross. 6. Ignore him. Let’s assume your date has been nice enough to give you the comfortable seat on the banquette that looks out on all the beautiful people at the restaurant. So don’t then spend the evening checking out all those people that you’re NOT eating with (even if one of them is Matthew McConaughey). Look at your date. Note: George Clooney is the only exception to this rule because, like you, men think he’s the coolest person in the world.
