Burger If you’re not at a fancy French restaurant, we say it’s okay to order a burger. It may not be the most elegant of foods to order on a date, but it’ll show your man that you can let loose and enjoy the many flavors of life. And if he brought you to a burger joint in the first place, he’s probably not looking for a high-maintenance, caloriecounting drama queen (not to say there’s anything wrong with watching what you eat). Rather, he’s looking for a girl who can hang with the guys. And while we support the theory that eating a burger can make you look sexy , we wouldn’t oppose your asking the waiter to hold the french fries; it’ll show that while you do have a wild side, you still care about your body and what your man thinks of it. Figs Figs are an aphrodisiac food, but not in the obvious kind of 20 way. In addition to them being visually erotic, they’re full of manganese, magnesium, vitamin E and zinc, which are all vital for sexual health. And did you know that Adam and Eve actually wore fig leaves to cover themselves? (That's also a good conversation filler for an awkward first date moment.) However you order them (wrapped in bacon, stuffed with blue cheese, fried in honey) we have no doubt they’ll evoke a sexy sentiment. Oysters If you want to scream sexy, just order the world’s most well-known aphrodisiac. You won’t have to worry about any miscommunication at the dinner table. Chicken Chicken is one of the safest bets for a dinner date for three reasons: it’s easy to eat, it's lean and it isn’t smelly.
