I just got off the phone with a girlfriend of mine who said that her crush finally asked her out on a date! I was so excited for her and asked where he was taking her to dinner to which she said, "No, no dinner. We are just meeting for a drink." Call me old-fashioned, but when a man asks a woman out on a date, I happen to feel that he should take her to dinner! In my opinion, bars just aren't the greatest place to get to know someone — they are loud, dark, and smelly. Having dinner with someone, however, is a much more intimate way to chat and learn about who's sitting across the table from you. Even if the date isn't going all that well [1], at least you can talk about the food you're eating!

So ladies, since my friend and I have such a difference of opinion, I have a feeling you will have something to say on the matter too. So what I want to know is — do you think dinner is a must on a first date?
