They say the key to a man's heart is through his stomach, yet I believe that this can also apply to women. Obviously this won't work for a first date but this can really impress your date. Alternately, this can hurt your chances so you need to know what you're doing.
For Guys:
Show me a woman out there who wouldn't be impressed with a fancy meal cooked especially for her by you. By inviting her over and making the meal yourself, you can express how romantic and skilled you are. You're always trying to sell how good you are to the other person, well, this is like bragging without actually bragging. This is also an effective way to invite her to your place without her getting her guard up.
Obviously, before partaking in this idea, it's essential that you find out what foods she enjoys, food allergies, things she has never tried, etc. After that, you need to work out a menu. Think along the lines of something fancy looking that you aren't going to mess up. It's a good idea to not try making something for the first time for your date. I'd even recommend having cooked it more than 5 times since you really want to make it perfect. If you're an amazing cook, you could possibly pull it off first try, but if you're like me, you'll mess up something you don't know if you're making it specially for someone.
You should also work out some appetizers. Nothing big, but just a bit of a snack before hand. Something as simple as grapes and cheese can do the trick, but feel free to get as fancy as you want..
Next (assuming you both drink), you'll want to pick out a couple nice wines to go with dinner. Keep in mind certain wines and meals go together nicely while others don't. Make sure you pair them accordingly. My go-to wine site is http://www.winediva.ca.
You should also prepare a dessert. Almost all women love chocolate so it's usually a safe bet. Find a quick recipe online and whip it up. Desserts are usually fairly simple and mostly about presentation so as long as you have something rich in chocolate and it looks great, you should be fine. Also maybe think about a dessert wine here (an ice wine or port, perhaps?).
For Ladies:
Men are a bit easier to please in the food department. We like meat. I would be impressed being invited over to a girl's place where she had beer and made burgers from scratch. Obviously each guy's taste varies, but stick to the basics. Buy a nice cut of meat (no matter what it is). Men love anything done on a grill. If you grill something up to perfection, he should be impressed. Serve some veggies or whatever sides you think he'll enjoy and just fill him up.
Again, you should think appetizers before the meal. Appies are a great way to just snack and talk a bit. Also think about alcohol (again, assuming you both drink). Personally, I like wine, but other guys may not. You should find out his favourite drink and make/buy it.
For dessert, I think that chocolate is a fairly safe bet. I don't think dessert is as big of a deal with guys as it is with women so I wouldn't slave over it too much, but something nice would most likely be appreciated.
Overall, you both just want to have fun (as you do on any other date), but you also want to show one of your talents. No matter who they are, if you make this a fantastic date, I guarantee they'll be bragging to their friends about you.
Give it a shot!
