Of course it's romantic. But romance doesn't make it the right thing to do, necessarily. I say this over and over in 'girl' threads, but it's not about the thing to do on a first date generally, as if all first dates with all people are the same. Sure, one can have a fallback, or an option generally for when you have no idea about someone (but if you have no idea about someone, why are you asking them out?) You have to consider your preferences and those of the person with whom you are sharing the experience. Romantic, serious dinner on a first date with someone you've otherwise known for a while, or maybe for someone you know as a friend? Sure, sounds reasonable. For a 'cold' date with someone you barely know? Probably not. Doesn't seem appropriate. Plus the $100+ bill can be an issue. Maybe coffee would be better, or drinks at an excellent cocktail bar. Depends on the situation. ~ H
