    a little yummy? that sounds like if you want to suck on their face or something ... other than that the advice is good but for most of these things ... dont order the plates that are messy or that can get in between your teeth in the first place !!

    It took two of them to write this pithy advice column. Man, I hope they're interns and don't actually get paid.

    This "advice" is just common sense. Do you girls actually get PAID to state the obvious???

    Sigh.....there's 90 seconds of my life I can't get back. Wasted, on reading this ridiculously stupid article. I shouldn't be surprised, it's like this on almost every article. (sigh)

    More like: advice for idiots who actually read the whole thing. Sometimes common sense needs to be said.

    wow...claybobisud is a moron...dont you know that "anecdote" is a playful or witty phrase? i think YOU need a proofreader. How would an "antidote" hel a dinner situation unless it was poisonous? The paragraph stating anecdote was meant to say if the spill was something that could not be remedied at the table to use a witty line and excuse yourself to the restroom to take care of it....moron.

    Funny, I actually say "you've-got-a-little-yummy-right-here." But when I say it, I open my eyes real wide and say it in a really low voice.

    Kind of a no-brainer article. Basically, don't make a big deal about what's not a big deal. This article must be aimed at shallow high school and college kids.

    This is the lamest article I've ever read. The advice is nothing but the most basic common sense!

    I like the article, and personally, I think the "yummy-on-your-face" thing was cute.

    I disagree with almost everyone here. This is very good advice for someone who has never been on a date, never will go on a date, and spends his/her time having tea parties with their stuffed animals. And they're 47.

    I once went on a date with a woman that turned out to be so terribly out-of-tune with herself and the rest of the world I just couldn't take it. I graciously went through the entire date, and said nothing mean. She ended up calling me two days later and asking me out again! My revenge came when I failed to tell her that she had some spinach in between her front two teeth all evening. She ended up finding this out when she went to work the next day with the same spinach and then being made a mockery of. Only tell someone about food in the teeth when you like them....

    I agree with Steve and I'd club my head silly after hearing the "yummy" comment. How about, "Are you finished with that tzatziki sauce on your upper lip or can anyone call dibs?"

    if it's your first date, never ever dine in an italian resto - spaghetti is just too tricky to chew...likewise never dine in a steak resto...knives , tough & chewy meat are are a- no-no. the best resto is japanese..everything is bite-size but go easy on that wasabi - you'd want to look pretty and wasabi can just ruin that pretty face. and remember, you're there for the date not for the food - so have something before the date so you're not famished when you arrive at the resto. whoever is paying, make sure you order something that you can afford to pay for - just in case your date "left his wallet" or somethin'....
